Sat Nav Hire for the Middle East

Sat Nav Hire

TomTom have recently released mapping for the middle east that we will soon be offering on our website. The countries covered are Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. This has been quite a long time coming for whatever reason but with more people visiting the Gulf it should prove very popular. Perhaps the only drawback is with so many new roads being built in places such as Dubai the mapping will be hard to keep up to date. However, having a GPS for these countries is far better than using a map which is likely to be evn more out of date. In the past we have lots of requests for mapping for the middle east for people either holidaying on business or visting family that have moved out there.

TomTom boast 183,620 kms or roads covered as well as 90,794 points of interest (POI) included for the whole region. In Kuwait there is 99% house number coverage and in UAE there is 36%. The mapping is seamless allowing you to travel form country to country cross border.

We will be stocking these products in the coming weeks so look out for them on our website. Our prices will be the same as our other non UK products.

Map coverage is as follows:

Bahrain 99%  Kuwait 99%  Oman 80%  Qatar 99%  Saudi Arabia 82%  UAE 99%

Car Hire and Sat Nav for South Africa World Cup 2010

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Don’t leave it too late to book!

It is now just 155 days to the 2010 World Cup and now that the draw for the group games has been made people are now in the process of booking flights, accommodation, car hire and of course sat nav hire. Prices are inflated for flights and accommodation but we are able to offer excellent deals on car rental and also sat navs. We have already had a good number of people hire a sat nav from us for the World Cup and we anticipate running out of stock nearer the time. Therefore we would recommend getting your sat nav hire order in early to avoid disappointment. With England’s group games to be played in Rustenburg, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth some considerable driving will be involved unless you take internal flights which are likely to be fully booked or very expensive. If ever there was a country when you would want to do a lot of driving it would have to be South Africa. They drive on the left hand side as we do and the scenery throughout the country is breathtaking.

England’s Group Games:

England V USA        12th June Rustenburg

England V Algeria    18th June Cape Town

England V Slovenia  23rd June Port Elizabeth

Monday, August 10th, 2009

France is the most popular tourist destination according to the World Tourism rankings. France is a large country with so many things to do and see so the majority of tourists opt to hire a car as well as use a sat nav with French mapping. TomTom have some excellent mapping covering 99.9% of the country which they update quarterly ensuring you always have the most up to date maps.

Many other countries are accessible from France such as Germany, Italy and Spain and TomTom have a solution for this as well. Their Western European mapping covers 24 countries and 7.5 million killimetres of roads offering seamless driving accross country borders.

Sat navs are now so popular that the car hire companies regularly run out of units and usually you can only hire one on the day you pick up your hire car. With Zintech you can now hire a sat nav for France or Western Europe in advance not leaving it to chance when you arrive. Our prices are also extremely competitive with typical savings of 50 to 60 percent.
