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 Innsbruck 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 Innsbruck 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 Innsbruck!
Rental process FAQ
In big cities you can also find the so-called "blue parking lots". It is very easy to distinguish them thanks to blue road markings. If you want to use such a parking, you will need a card-timer, which can be taken free of charge in the nearest tobacco shop. It is permitted to leave the car at such parking lots for no longer than three hours.
In the cities of Bludenz, Bregenz, Dornbirn and Feldkirchen you will often see parking lots, where payments must be done through the cashier or special machines. In some other cities you may see parking lots, where payments are made using special vouchers. These vouchers need to be purchased in a bank in advance.
The country’s capital has special parking regulations. Here payment for the use of parking lots will be charged during the period from 9:00 to 22:00. In order to use parking lots in Vienna, you must purchase a special parking ticket called Parkschein. You can buy it at any petrol station or in tobacco shops.
