    The €100 spent on rental would be dead money. For that ammount or very little extra you could get a basic device with European maps.

    TomTom Start @ €159 is a good basic device with European mapping. With TomTom devices you are also guaranteed the lates available map update. You also have the advantage of mapshare giveing you the ability to make your own corrections.
    Garmin Devices start at around the same with the Nuvi 1200

    If you want something more basic shop around Argos, Harvey Normans & the likes.
