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 Darwin 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 Darwin 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 Darwin!
Rental process FAQ
Many local roads simply have no "zebra crossing" marking that is so common in many countries. Instead of it, pedestrian crossings are marked with bright yellow signs with a picture of feet in motion. This is one of those types of road signs, the meaning of which is clear and without any explanation to both motorists and pedestrians.
In addition to road signs, there are large electronic scoreboards near some highways. These boards work on solar batteries. As a rule, they display all kinds of useful information, staring from the plan of road works and the amount of penalties to various advertisements.
In most cases, country roads have only two lanes, but traffic jams are rare in them. There are special pockets along each road that drivers can use to overtake or make a short stop in case of a breakdown or other emergency situations.
