This time of year whilst it is cold and wet here in the UK many people are travelling to the Southern Hemisphere to enjoy some winter sun. Probably one of our most popular hire products is our TomTom South Africa sat nav. South Africa is a beautiful country and many chose to drive the full length of the country starting from Johannesburg and driving to Cape Town via the east coast and the spectacular garden route. Sat Nav Hire South Africa has many advantages. Firstly, it takes away the stress of getting lost or not being able to find you hotel. Secondly, you are able to take in the scenery rather than having to map read.

Our TomTom South Africa units contain recent mapping with 1000′s of point of interest making navigation very easy. There are a few places that are worth a visit which can often be off the beaten track with no precise address. Fortunately, this does not pose a problem when using the TomTom. There is an excellent feature when plotting your route that allows you to enter your GPS coordinates. How do I know the coordinates? you may ask. Most of the places that are in the middle of nowhere such as some game reserves and vineyards display their GPS coordinates on their website. If not, you can visit www.itouchmap.com where you can pinpoint a location on a map and it will give you the precise coordinates. Even better, if you email us your destinations after placing your order we will pre-program the places for you free of charge.

We can also provide you with car hire for South Africa and many other travel extras.

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
