LONDON, June 23 /PRNewswire/ --

- Hertz Upgrades Signature Satellite Navigation System Through
New Partnership With Garmin

Hertz vehicle rental customers across Europe will soon benefit
from a new version of the unique satellite navigation system Hertz
NeverLost(R) (Version 3), with 4,000 new units available across Europe from
the end of June. Now available in 39 languages, three times as many as the
previous version, the portable Hertz NeverLost(R) system features easy-to-use
touchscreen, turn-by-turn directions and large database of pre-programmed
locations, allowing customers to navigate with confidence. Hertz is the only
rental company to offer customers its own customised satellite navigation
system in Europe, which can be booked online at http://www.hertz.co.uk.

Powered by Garmin, the global leader in personal satellite
navigation systems, Hertz NeverLost(R) 3 devices will be available to Hertz
customers in over 69 major airports and cities across 17 countries in
Europe*. The system has been customised specifically for Hertz customers,
including additional mapping to include Eastern Europe as well as
pre-programmed Hertz branch locations across Europe. The voice guidance is
available in all major Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Far East languages.

The touchscreen system also has a unique 'Locate' feature,
which marks the current position when removed from the windshield mount -
especially useful when parked in large car parks or an unfamiliar city
street. The unit also has an enhanced 'Where am I?' feature which helps
customers locate their nearest amenities with ease while on the move. In
addition to this, the device contains over one million points of interest
including hotels, restaurants and cash machines.

"At Hertz, we continue to invest in innovative products and
service to provide our customers with convenience and a great customer
experience," said Michel Taride, President, Hertz Europe. "We want our
customers to feel as comfortable driving abroad as they do at home - and have
the confidence to enjoy the freedom and adventure that NeverLost(R) offers."

Hertz NeverLost(R) 3 units also boast an extended battery
life, as well as a 'friction mount' feature that removes the need for a
suction cup to fix the unit on the windscreen. The system is fitted with
Bluetooth technology and an FM transmitter, allowing customers to connect
their navigation system to the in-car radio as well as facilitate hands free
calling from mobile phones.

Michel Taride, President, Hertz Europe added: "The next generation Hertz
NeverLost(R) 3 satellite navigation system builds on the overwhelming success
of its predecessor Hertz NeverLost(R) 2 in providing virtually every 
navigation feature that the modern day traveller could want. We're confident 
that the evolution in our satellite navigation product will exceed the 
expectations of our customers in completing the ultimate driving 
experience."

Specially designed for Hertz customers, the Hertz NeverLost(R)
satellite navigation system was launched in Europe in November 2005.

* The Hertz NeverLost(R) 3 system will be available in the following
countries from June 2009: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and UK.
