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 Vitoria 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 Vitoria 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 Vitoria!
Rental process FAQ
You should be prepared to some extreme situations, for example, a car moving behind can easily shorten the distance to a couple of centimeters. This does not mean that car wants to overtake or show some sign. The answer is simple – for local drivers it is absolutely normal to keep a minimum distance.
We should also not forget to mention that it is quite dangerous to drive in Brazil at night. A significant part of the country’s population lives below the poverty line, so at night roads usually attract numerous robbers. For security reasons, local drivers keep the windows closed at night. They also block the car’s doors, never stop the car without any particular need, and can even pass a red light.
Leaving the car in the car park, you should also not forget about some basic safety precautions. Do not leave any items in the car. Thieves can break the glass even if they see an empty bag on the front seat.
