Experience the pleasure of using a FREE PORTABLE GPS rental in Europe with any minimum 7-day rental of an intermediate class vehicle or larger. The portable GPS units are the latest Garmin Nuvi 270's and are a must-have when traveling in Europe. The GPS units come with a dash mount but can be removed and taken into a villa or hotel room to plan the next day's trip or to find a particular restaurant or museum. Included with your free GPS rental is a routing map for your rental country and a free dash mount.
To be honest, we at In Italy Online were a little skeptical about the usefulness of GPS in Italy. But here are some comments from our clients who have used our units:
I forgot to mention to you that the GPS worked flawlessly and I cannot imagine traveling to Italy again without it. It worked out in the Tuscan "sticks" as well as through inner Florance (unless we were in a narrow street with surrounding high buildings and satellite reception was lost). A great device I highly recommend to anyone traveling in Italy. Thanks again. Sam W
"The vehicle was a luxury station wagon that came with a GPS navigation system that was just amazing. I had an idea of where I was going in Austria and Germany and I can understand German, but once we got to Switzerland and Italy this thing was a godsend. I will never again travel in Europe without one and fully recommend this to any traveller to a place they had not yet been to. Further the people at Europcar were very efficient and courteous. I have no regrets." Ernie S.
"Also of important note was the GPS system we rented from your site. It saved us countless times and was the most well spent rental I could possibly imagine." Barry G.
"The GPS unit we rented through AutoEurope (on your website too) was the best purchase of the trip. It even worked in Tuscany! But I would recommend using a map to supplement." Michelle S.
"Also, you should tell all your clients to rent the GPS unit. That thing was a lifesaver! (We named ours Sophia, and she became our best friend!)" Deanna G.
