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 Mar Del Plata 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 Mar Del Plata 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 Mar Del Plata!
Rental process FAQ
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.
Disciplined foreign drivers, who use turn signals, are often not even understood by local drivers. Some local people believe that if the car’s turn signal is on, it is defective.
Driving in the city is greatly complicated by the fact that the majority of streets have only one-way traffic. In large cities such streets are marked with a special sign, and in small towns the signs may be absent. It is usually not difficult to navigate in the city as it is often enough to look at the way the cars are parked (cars can only be parked in the direction of traffic).
