However, without a map, the GPS won’t be able to provide road navigation outside of your home area/country. GPS devices are great to use while traveling because they work worldwide without needing a cell phone signal or other paid service to operate. By using your own Garmin GPS and purchasing a map for your travel destination, you will begin saving money within days and the map is yours to use on subsequent trips.
On average the cost of renting a GPS from a car rental company is US$12 per day in addition to your standard car rental fees. Customers are eligible for one free update from their purchased map version ( e.g., v1.0 to v1.1).Īfter the free update, new updates can be purchased for 50% off by selecting the update option in our online store.
