Navigation Solutions Introduces NeverLost® Generation5 State-of-the-Art Navigation System for Hertz Rental Cars
Navigation Solutions is introducing Hertz NeverLost® Generation5 (NL Gen5), the first real-time, two-way connectivity navigation service to Hertz rental car customers, announced Roger A. Stevens, president and chief executive officer of Navigation Solutions.
NL Gen5 state-of-the art technology features Assisted GPS with specially engineered inertial sensors to improve vehicle positioning and provide enhanced route guidance when less sophisticated products lose GPS coverage.
Engineered to Automotive Grade Standards and integrated into the vehicle's electrical system, the NL Gen5 out-performs hand-held devices because of its ability to operate in the harshest of climates and weather conditions. Units are pre-installed in Hertz rental cars, ready to go immediately, and offer unparalleled safety and security of travelers' information. There's more to the NL Gen5 than its appealing user-friendly technology.
Hertz rental car customers will enjoy NL Gen5's exclusive Online Trip Planning services, the first web-based trip planning system using a USB drive. Travelers can plan trips entirely on line, save it to a USB drive, then pop the drive into their NL Gen5, and be on their way. NL Gen5 also offers the option of pre-planning a trip on its website, www.neverlost.com.
"What is so unique about this product," Stevens says, "is that the architecture of the NL Gen5 offers real-time capabilities, which complement our online travel planning services." Navigation Solutions' NL Gen5 takes travel planning to the next level with the introduction of the complementary Concierge Assisted Routing program, an innovative service that creates and sends a trip on demand to travelers.
Hertz customers can call toll-free from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m. and find an experienced travel professional ready to assist them with a variety of requests, from finding remote locations to locating "Best In Class" hotels and restaurants, to making changes in their original itinerary. All information is conveniently and efficiently transmitted directly to their NL Gen5 unit. "Our success is based on convenience—the ability to get in and go—with feature-rich content, frequent updates, and ease of use," Stevens says. "No one puts it together better than NeverLost®."
NL Gen5 is available in selected Hertz markets. Devices rent for $12.99 per day, and are complementary in Hertz Prestige Collection cars, excluding Volvo S60. Discounts and special promotions may also apply.
