The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Australia traditionally include the following vehicles: VW Passat, Renault Scenic, Honda Accord, Hyundai Elantra, Toyota Avensis, Nissan Tiida 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 Perth 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 Perth 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.

Rental process FAQ
There are also toll roads in Australia. Sometimes the fee is charged for using some tunnels and bridges. If you expect to use toll roads, you will need to install a special device in your car. The device is used to make automated payments on paid routes.
The cost of using a toll road is usually around 1.5 Australian dollars, and the fine for driving on a toll road for free is about $80. The entrances to all toll roads are equipped with cameras, so passing them unnoticed is simply impossible.
Left driving is another important feature of local roads. Drivers, who are accustomed to right driving, will find it difficult to drive during first several days, so it is recommended to be very careful.
