Hi everyone,
Please can anyone settle a concern that I have?
We live overseas and we are renting a Mazda CX-50 from Budget Car Rental in April. Obviously I don't know the exact model until we collect the vehicle. I'm guessing it will be a 2025/2026 model?
Anyway, my concern is whether it has a 12v outlet somewhere in the front of the cabin, because we will absolutely need this to charge our Garmin GPS.
It's just that when I have asked Google this, it says that most new cars have one. But we need to know this for sure.
I would really appreciate it if someone can settle my mind on this issue.
Thanks in advance

 

Welcome to the forum

 

You may want to consider purchasing a small solar charger?

 

first year was 2022...don't think they have been redesigned...looks like there is one in front of the cup holder but i think they are usb-c outlets (link to owners manual below)...could buy a usbc to 12v adapter...or an external battery pack and run it off that and recharge the battery pack via the car when needed...or something like a noco battery jump pack

I hope that members are reading that the OP is living in the USA and is traveling to possibly another country and renting a vehicle???
There is no guarantee about what a vehcle may have come with will be ion that vehcle they rent !

 

Welcome to the forum.

So....this is a global forum, and therefore "overseas" could mean any location. You may want to clarify what country you live in and which county you will be visiting. Thanks.

 

Good point I assumed being military family when the phrase overseas was used that US to…..but now Insee in the profile OP put ES as country.
However my response still should be considered. Traveling outside the US (last year to Ireland) and renting vehicles, ya never know what your going to get…like a box a chocolates…lol
