PLEASE DISREGARD THE "BUY IT NOW" OPTION (MEANTIME) UNTIL YOU MAKE CONTACT WITH ME IN ORDER TO GET AN ACCURATE PRICE TO REFLECT YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS.  I ALSO NEED TO CHECK THAT YOUR DATES ARE AVAILABLE.

GENERAL INFORMATION

THIS SERVICE IS DESIGNED TO TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF YOU WHEN ARRIVING IN FLORIDA, OR ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE USA, AFTER A LONG TRANSATLANTIC FLIGHT. IT’S ALSO DESIGNED TO PROVIDE A CHEAPER ALTERNATIVE TO HIRING DIRECT FROM THE CAR HIRE COMPANY WHO WILL PROBABLY CHARGE YOU THE BEST PART OF £95 FOR A 2 WEEK HIRE. (BUT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE YOU WITH AN ITINERARY PLANNING SERVICE FREE OF CHARGE) SEE BELOW.

INCLUDED IN THE PRICE – ITINERARY PLANNING

I WILL ADD THEME PARKS, SHOPPING MALLS, RETURN AIRPORTS AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU WISH ADDED E.G. VILLA OR HOTEL, KENNEDY SPACE CENTRE. I CAN ALSO SET YOUR HOTEL OR VILLA AS YOUR “HOME”, ARRIVE AT THE AIRPORT, SWITCH ON THE SAT NAV TAP “NAVIGATE TO” THEN “HOME” AND THAT’’S IT, YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY THERE.

IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO PREPARE YOUR OWN ITINERARY -NOT A PROBLEM, I WILL SEND YOU THE SAT NAV IN PLENTY OF TIME SO YOU CAN ADD YOUR OWN ITINERARY.

WHAT DO YOU GET FOR YOUR MONEY?

TOMTOM GPS – NOT GARMIN OR MAGELLAN (A FANTASTIC UNIT  -  I’VE ONLY HAD 2 FAILURES IN 17 MONTHS) MANY NOW HAVE “LIVE TRAFFIC” AND IQ ROUTES). MODELS I CURRENTLY USE; TOMTOM ONE XL CLASSIC (NEW SHAPE) 4.3" SCREEN, 530, 630, 720, 730 OR XXL AS THESE ARE MUCH LIGHTER AND EASIER TO CARRY AROUND.

IN CAR CHARGER, CASE, MAINS CHARGER - BOTH UK AND USA, (SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY DURING PEAK PERIODS) USB CABLE FOR YOUR PC, SCREEN MOUNT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,- RETURN POSTAGE.  NOT ONLY IS RETURN POSTAGE INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE PRICE, THE RETURN BAG IS ALREADY COMPLETED FOR YOU. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS PLACE EVERYTHING  INSIDE THE PRE-PAID / PRE-ADDRESSED BAG AND TAKE IT TO THE POST OFFICE, KEEP THE CERTIFICATE OF POSTING AND I WILL TEXT YOU WHEN I RECEIVE IT.

HOMER SIMPSON    -   FLORIDA HIRES

HOMER SIMPSON PROVED TO BE VERY POPULAR IN 2011. IF YOU WANT ONE WITH HOMER SIMPSON, PLEASE ASK AT THE TIME OF PLACING THE ORDER.

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE UNIT BREAKS DOWN?

IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT THE UNIT “BREAKS DOWN ? IT'S SIMPLE, SEND ME A TEXT, AND I WILL PHONE YOU BACK ON A LAND LINE. THAT WAY YOU ARE NOT MAKING A CALL THAT’S COSTING YOU 89P A MINUTE.  IF I CAN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM , (you will be sent instructions on how to reset the sat nav when you receive it) I WILL AUTHORISE YOU TO BUY ONE FROM WALMART BUT YOU NEED TO SEND ME THE RECEIPT AND SAT NAV (OBVIOUSLY) AND I WILL REFUND YOU IN FULL (BASED ON TRAVELEX ON-LINE RATE) PLEASE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE 5 HOUR TIME DIFFERENCE.I CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING WORSE THAN BEING LEFT STRANDED IN ORLANDO/FLORIDA/USA WITHOUT A SAT NAV SO YOU WILL NOT BE LEFT WITHOUT ONE GUARANTEED!!!  SIMPLY SEND ME A TEXT AND I WILL CONTACT YOU VIA A LANDLINE.

- POSTAGE METHOD -

THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE ITEM, THEREFORE NEXT DAY (BY 1PM) ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL DELIVERY (SIGNED FOR) WILL BE USED TO PROTECT BOTH PARTIES. BUT THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE COST OF THE HIRE, IT'S PIECE OF MIND (FOR EVERYONE) AND I CAN GUARANTEE THE UNIT WILL BE WITH YOU THE DAY YOU NEED IT.  I DON'T MAKE A PENNY ON THE POSTAGE. PLEASE NOTE; ROYAL MAIL IS BY NO MEANS PERFECT, (NOTHING IS) IT IS MOST OF THE TIME BUT I'VE HAD ONE OR TWO HICCUPS THIS YEAR WITH PACKAGES NOT ARRIVING THE "NEXT DAY" BUT THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS WHY I FACTOR IN A COUPLE OF DAYS TO POST EARLY, JUST IN CASE. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS OUTWITH MY CONTROL BUT I CAN TRACK AND TRACE ON-LINE AND SO FAR, THE PACKAGE HAS ARRIVED THE VERY NEXT DAY. I JUST THINK IT'S WORTH MENTIONING. 98% OF MY PACKAGES ARRIVE "NEXT DAY" BEFORE 1 PM.

COST

THE £38.50 PRICE IS AN ALL INCLUSIVE – NOTHING FURTHER TO PAY, PRICE BASED ON A 3 WEEK HIRE (NOTE; IN ADDITION TO RECEIVING THE SAT NAV 3 DAYS BEFORE YOU GO,  YOU WILL HAVE 2 DAYS AT THE END OF YOUR HIRE TOO (IF REQUIRED) SO YOU CAN GET OVER JET LAG ) 

LOOKING AFTER THE SAT NAV  

THERE IS ALSO AN ELEMENT OF TRUST INVOLVED AND I RELY ON YOU TO LOOK AFTER THE SAT NAV WHILST IT'S IN YOUR POSSESSION. IF YOU LOSE IT, DAMAGE IT OR IT'S STOLEN ETC I WILL ASK YOU TO CLAIM ON YOUR INSURANCE, I THINK THAT’S ONLY REASONABLE. SO FAR, (TOUCH WOOD) I HAVEN’T HAD ANY STOLEN OR DAMAGED. BASIC PRECAUTIONS OBVIOUSLY WORK.

IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT IF YOU FAIL TO RETURN THE SAT NAV, I WILL PURSUE THE MATTER VIA EBAY, PAYPAL AND IF NECESSARY, THE POLICE. FAILING TO RETURN THE SAT NAV IS THEFT !! 

I WONT BE HIRING TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE A REASONABLE HISTORY / FEEDBACK PROFILE WITH EBAY. SORRY BUT THAT'S THE WAY IT HAS TO BE. CHECK MY FEEDBACK

PROVIDING YOUR DATES

PLEASE, PLEASE BE HONEST WITH YOUR DATES. I HAD A COUPLE OF HIRES LAST YEAR (AND THIS YEAR) WHERE THE HIRER WAS BEING "ECONOMICAL WITH THE TRUTH" AS THE SAT NAV WAS NOT RETURNED ON TIME. ( 7/8 DAYS LATE) ALL THIS DOES IS PUT ME UNDER PRESSURE DUE TO THE KNOCK ON EFFECT IT HAS FOR THE NEXT HIRE (ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK PERIODS) I AM FLEXIBLE (AS MY FEEDBACK SHOWS) BUT PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR PRECISE DATES.

- SECURITY  -

DEPENDING ON YOUR EBAY HISTORY, I MAY ASK FOR A SECURITY DEPOSIT.

PLEASE ENSURE THE SAT NAV IS RETURNED TO ME WITHIN THE AGREED TIME SCALE AS THIS MAY CAUSE INCONVENIENCE TO OTHER HIRERS/HOLIDAYMAKERS. 

- CONTACT DETAILS -

YOU MUST PROVIDE ME WITH A LAND LINE NUMBER, YOUR NUMBER - NOT SOMEONE ELSES, YES, IT HAS HAPPENED AND IT CAUSED SOME CONFUSION AFTER THE HIRER HAD INADVERTENTLY ACTIVATED A SECONDARY MAP ON THE DEVICE AND COULDN’T ACQUIRE A GPS SIGNAL IN THE STATES – SHE SENT ME HER SISTER’S MOBILE NUMBER = CHAOS). IF YOU FAIL TO DO THIS, OR DECLINE TO SUPPLY IT, I WILL HAVE NO OPTION BUT TO TERMINATE THE HIRE WITHOUT NEGATIVE FEEDBACK AS YOU HAVE FAILED TO COMPLY WITH THE TERMS OF THE HIRE. I DO NOT DISCLOSE NUMBERS TO ANY THIRD PARTY, THE DISCLOSURE OF NUMBERS IS FOR SECURITY PURPOSES AND A MEANS OF CONTACTING YOU. I ALSO USE THE MOBILE NUMBER TO SEND YOU A TEXT TO CONFIRM THAT I HAVE POSTED YOUR SAT NAV, THEREFORE IT'S FOR YOUR BENEFIT AS WELL.

PAYPAL

YOU MUST BE PAYPAL VERIFIED. IN ADDITION, THE ADDRESS WHERE THE SAT NAV IS BEING DELIVERED TO MUST BE REGISTERED WITH PAYPAL, IF IT ISN'T, I CAN’T SEND IT. RECENTLY,I HAVE HAD ONE OR TWO ISSUES WHERE MORE THAN ONE ADDRESS IS LISTED. THIS MUST BE RESOLVED BY THE HIRER BEFORE I POST THE SAT NAV.

- RETURN POLICY-

PLEASE RETAIN THE CERTIFICATE OF POSTING UNTIL I SEND YOU AN E MAIL OR TEXT CONFIRMING THE PACKAGE HAS BEEN RECEIVED AT MY END. I USUALLY DO THIS VIA TEXT AND IT SEEMS TO WORK REALLY WELL. I WILL ENCLOSE A PRE-ADDRESSED PRE-PAID BAG WITH YOU AS THE SENDER, SIMPLY POP EVERYTHING IN THE BUBBLE WRAP BAG, SEAL IT, PLACE IT IN THE SPECIAL DELIVERY BAG AND TAKE IT TO THE POST OFFICE (REMEMBER AND KEEP THE RECEIPT) - THAT'S IT.

FINALLY

I WORK ON THE BASIS THAT EVERYONE WHO HIRES SAT NAV KNOWS HOW TO OPERATE IT UNLESS ADVISED TO THE CONTARY. IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO OPERATE IT I WILL SEND YOU A BOOKLET OR SEND YOU INSTRUCTIONS BY EMAIL DEPENDING ON WHICH MODEL I AM ALLOCATING YOU. IT'S JUST A CASE OF DOWNLOADING ANYTHING YOU THINK IS RELEVANT. ADVICE ON RESETTING THE DEVICE WILL ALSO BE PROVIDED

PLEASE SEE MY 100% FEEDBACK - I INTEND TO KEEP IT THAT WAY SO THE BEST POSSIBLE SERVICE I CAN PROVIDE WILL BE GIVEN.

HOPEFULLY, MY RECENT FEEDBACK SHOULD REASSURE YOU THAT I AM A GENUINE EBAYER WHO IS JUST TRYING (VERY HARD) TO PROVIDE YOU WITH A COST EFFECTIVE SERVICE. WHY HIRE DIRECT FROM THE CAR HIRE COMPANY WHEN DOING IT THIS WAY IS MUCH CHEAPER AND CONVENIENT. 

LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING FROM YOU.
