The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Argentina traditionally include the following vehicles: Ford Taurus, Honda Accord, Pontiac Grand Prix, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Dodge Stratos and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Bariloche borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Bariloche might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Bariloche!

Driving Advices for Argentina – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
The roads of Argentina are a perfect choice for a comfortable ride. A large part of them is paved and has good informational support. If in the city the road traffic is quite busy, in the country there are not so many cars. This fact makes travelling on them even more enjoyable.
Foreign drivers should not forget about basic traffic regulations. When driving, do not forget to turn on lower beams. It is also necessary not to forget to use seat belts. This rule concerns not only the driver, but also passengers who are in the back seat.
Local motorists often neglect many traffic regulations, but that does not mean that violations are left unpunished. Foreign drivers are recommended not to forget that local motorists never accompany their maneuvers with light signals, so it is often not possible to predict their behavior on the road.

Traveling in San Carlos de Bariloche with family car

The city of San Carlos de Bariloche located in the foothills of the Andes is widely known as a major skiing and mountaineering center. This is the most popular ski resort in Argentina. A significant part of tourists visiting it are fans of active recreation and sports entertainment. Eco-tourists will surely find the city interesting, as it is located in an incredibly beautiful area surrounded by wonderful lakes and mountain peaks.

The first inhabitants of these places were the Mapuche Indians. It is believed that the present city owes its name to them. Translated literally from Mapuche language, "Bariloche" can be translated as "people behind the mountain," which fully describes the main feature of the city. Many years ago these picturesque places attracted Spanish conquerors. The first explorers visited Nahuel Huapi Lake in the middle of the 16th century.

The first mission on the shore of the lake appeared in 1670, but had existed for only 4 years - it was completely destroyed and burned by the Indian tribes. The attempt to re-organize the settlement on the lake also failed. At the end of the 19th century, the attractive lands aroused many controversies among Chile and Argentina. As a result, this area became part of Argentina, the significant event took place in 1881.
