Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc. Launches Online GPS Rental Service


GPS4rent.com

Sure GPS devices are getting cheaper, but the good ones are still between $400 - $900. That's some serious dough, so if you're not sure which GPS is right for you, or just need a GPS for a few days, GPS4Rent might be just the thing for you. Given that a good GPS device still costs anywhere from $300 to $1000, it's surprising there aren't more rental services. Currently they're offering a range of Magellan GPS units (including some with real-time traffic data) that cost between $9 and $13/day to rent (3 day minimum). You're also on the hook for the UPS shipping charges, but given the size and weight, that should be pretty affordable.

Auto Nav 2000 Plus, Inc. has been in business since 1996, and I've personally purchased 5 GPS units from them over the past 10 years - so you don't have to worry about it being some shady online store. AutoNav 2000 also maintains several brick-and-morter retail shops in Northern California, and a regular web store if you're looking to purchase rather than rent. If you've been thinking about getting a GPS but are on the fence, or just need one for a special trip, the rental service might be just what the dr. ordered.
