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 Plovdiv 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 Plovdiv 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 Plovdiv!
Rental process FAQ
Police checks are not rare on the road. Absolutely every car can be stopped to perform the driver’s documents check. Therefore, do not forget that it is mandatory to carry the driving license, the vehicle certificate, as well as insurance (the green card). Foreign drivers also need to have the passport. If one of these documents is absent, the police can issue a fine that ranges from 50 to 200 leva.
It is not difficult to navigate on the roads of Bulgaria. Roads of every type are equipped with certain types of road signs. On motorways, you will see road signs with green background, and on main roads the background is blue. On secondary roads, all road signs have white background.
Foreign drivers are recommended to avoid traveling at night. Country roads are usually lit poorly, and local drivers often move with car beams turned off. The places of road works are also not always marked with special signs.
