Those looking for car hire whilst holidaying in South Africa may be in for a pleasant surprise. One car hire company has engineered a new form of satellite navigation system with a twist which will enable customers to experience all this fascinating country has to offer.

South African car hire introduces new sat nav

The technology, known as Satpacking, was introduced by the owner of Satpack Travel and has been fitted in a selection of their hire vehicles. The device uses a combination of customary satellite navigation technology with some travel tips and advice gleamed from the inventor’s extensive local knowledge. It will offer car hire customers a greater range of opportunities during their travel and enable them to make discoveries they otherwise wouldn’t have. The Satpack is designed to be like having your own personal tour guide on hand at all times.

This vast country is best explored via car hire. Visitors can enjoy the freedom of the open road but at the same time, have the Satpack system which offers assurance should a customer encounter difficulties. With the Football World Cup 2010 fast approaching South Africa is bracing itself for a huge influx of visitors. Demand for car hire is likely to be high and the Satpack technology is guaranteed to enhance the car hire experience.

The Satpack system is continually updated to ensure its information is current and relevant. The team at Satpack Travel even offer to create a bespoke programme to incorporate points of particular interest to an individual customer. Instead of taking the fastest route, take the scenic route and make the most of your car hire in South Africa.
