The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Brazil traditionally include the following vehicles: Ford Taurus, Honda Accord, Pontiac Grand Prix, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Dodge Stratos 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 Recife 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 Recife 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 Recife!
Rental process FAQ
An interesting fact - CET has no relation to the power structures of the country. As a rule, CET staff patrols the streets using motorcycles and pickup trucks. Thanks to their rapid and competent actions it becomes possible to avoid heavy traffic jams in large cities.
Both the local police and CET treat foreign drivers very favorably. Even if a foreign driver has broken the rules, he is unlikely to be fined for the first time. However, it doesn’t mean that you can forget about traffic regulations and drive as you wish – the police will easily distinguish an inexperienced driver from a regular violator.
In order to prevent traffic jams in “rush hours”, a very interesting system of control is used in Brazil. From 7:00 to 10:00 and from 17:00 to 20:00, only cars the number of which ends with the permitted number are allowed to use the local roads.
