With rare exceptions, you only can book a certain vehicle category with car rental companies, not a specific type of vehicle, information about vehicle types just stay for an example. An important aspect when renting a car are the services included in the rate booked, in particular become aware of the insurance coverage included.

For sure a navigation system is helpful utensil for successfully finding your way especially in new surroundings. Unfortunately, the fees for renting a GPS device are somtimes out of scale. Many of us own a portable GPS device for everyday use, sometimes it is worthwhile to put your own device in the bag and take it with you. Don't forget to check if you need to buy an additional map in time for your destination. Using your own device also has the advantage that you are familiar with the operation of it and you will not have to deal with new technology when starting to explore unknown destinations.
