Touring Hawaii Becomes More Relaxing and Fun with Hertz NeverLost Online Trip Planning

Plano, TX (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 -- Hawaii visitors can now keep their eyes on the scenery - and the road - rather than fussing with printed maps as they navigate the islands, thanks to Online Trip Planning? by Hertz NeverLost®. And, they can enjoy the rental car industry's first virtual tour guide for the island's main tourist attractions.

With Online Trip Planning, Hertz rental car customers visiting the islands of Oahu, Maui and Hawaii can quickly and easily plan entire trips in advance. Now travelers can visit the NeverLost web site (www.neverlost.com) to enter detailed trip information, which can then be saved to a personal USB storage device, such as a thumb drive. Upon arrival in Hawaii, customers simply insert the USB storage device into the Hertz NeverLost navigation system, and the driving directions for their entire itinerary are at their fingertips.

Hertz NeverLost is the only navigation device in the marketplace to provide a virtual tour guide of AAA GEMS under its AAA Tour Book attractions®. This feature offers drivers brief audio descriptions and highlights of Hawaii's 15 main leisure attractions. It includes the Waimea Canyon State Park, Hana Highway, Polynesian Cultural Center, Old Lahaina Lu'au, USS Arizona Memorial and much more.

Online Trip Planning was launched in February 2008. Before the addition of this feature to the NeverLost system, users entered information into the NeverLost device one destination at a time after picking up their rental car.

"With Online Trip Planning, Hawaii leisure travelers can avoid the hassles of maps and printed directions, while also enjoying their own virtual tour guide for key tourist attractions," said Roger A. Stevens, president and chief executive officer of Navigation Solutions. "Plus, since our database is updated frequently, we can ensure that travelers have access to the most up-to-date travel information."

In addition to Online Trip Planning, NeverLost users can benefit from:

- Yellow pages - Finds businesses near any destination, not just your current location

- Corridor search - Finds establishments between destinations, such as a gas station on the way back to the airport

- Trip optimization - Changes the order of stops for efficient route planning

- Address/intersection - Allows for easy entry of addresses or intersection information

- Favorites - Downloads the most up-to-date information on favorite points of interest, such as museums, sporting events, shopping malls, meetings and conventions

- City guides - Provides city guides for top markets that highlight the most noteworthy tourist attractions

Online Trip Planning is free for Hertz NeverLost customers at most major airport locations. NeverLost costs $10.95 (U.S.) per day as part of a Hertz rental. AAA members receive a 25 percent discount. Online Trip Planning is available in Full size cars and above (car class F and above). NeverLost is complimentary in Hertz Prestige Collection vehicles, with the exception of the Volvo S60.
