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 Fortaleza 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 Fortaleza 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 Fortaleza!
Rental process FAQ
Motorcycles and bicycles always have separate parking lots. Quite often, they are located close to roads. Of course, cars are prohibited to park there. The police or CET staff members will surely not leave the violation unnoticed.
On some streets, you may see large white signs with a red cross and the letter “E”. This means that parking a car on this street is prohibited. The sign may also contain additional information. Quite often it is prohibited to park only from 7:00am to 7:00pm, and only on weekdays.
If a parking lot has a sign with the “azul” mark, this means that only holders of a special card are allowed to use it. You can purchase this parking card in any newspaper or tobacco shop. The cost of the card depends on the number of parking hours on its account.
