Carrentals.co.uk counsels sense by telling drivers to always keep maps in car





















(I-Newswire) January 29, 2010 - 26 January 2010 – Drivers on the UK’s roads nowadays reap the benefits of the ease and simplicity of sat nav systems, but award-winning car hire price comparison site www.Carrentals.co.uk is telling them to be aware of becoming too reliant on the technology by carrying a map in their car.

While sat nav has navigating around the country’s roads much easier for people, the system does still have its faults. Lots of motorists find that their GPS sometimes doesn’t recognize a place meaning that they are lost. Carrentals.co.uk is telling people to be smart and always keep a map in the car to address this.

Gareth Robinson, managing director of www.Carrentals.co.uk, comments, "Sat nav is a great development for the majority of drivers, but we want motorists to be aware that they can still be let down by it, it’s not totally error-free yet, so they shouldn’t rely on it too much.”

Gareth continued, “Our advice is to plan ahead to be on the safe side and always carry a map in the car glove box just in case. Another sensible suggestion on long journeys is to plan a route on a map before setting off so that you have a good idea of general directions and landmarks.”

www.Carrentals.co.uk offers a choice of sat nav hire in its range of holiday car hire packages which encompass 38 countries worldwide, prices starting at only £27.08 per week. Late holidays and trips are catered for too with delivery of sat nav by 1pm the following day* for reservations made before 4pm Monday – Friday.
