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 Manaus 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 Manaus 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
The total length of roads in Brazil is 1.6 million square kilometers. This is the record number for Latin American countries. The best and most comfortable roads are located in the coastal zone, as well as in the eastern and southern parts of the country.
In some parts of Brazil, there are mostly dirt and gravel roads, so it is possible to drive on them using a crossroad car only. The Amazon region remains the most complicated. During the rainy season, local dirt roads look simply terrible.
The rainy season lasts from November to March. This is the time when drivers are not recommended to make rides to that area of the country. Instead of dirt roads, powerful mudslides appear in the Amazon region. The mudslides are so big that they can cover a whole car. Regardless of the season, traveling to this part of the country alone is not recommended.
