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 Calgary 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 Calgary 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 Calgary!
Rental process FAQ
If there is a reserve lane, marked by the dashed and solid double-marking, then cars that move straight are prohibited to occupy this lane. This part of the road is designed only for cars that move out of a yard or make a left turn.
Determining, whether it is a lane marker, is not difficult if taking into consideration the color of the marking. As a rule, white markings are made between the lanes and the edges of a road. Yellow markings are present at the center of a road. Quite often, there are reflectors of corresponding colors instead of the standard color markings.
If you see a police car with flashing lights behind your car, it should be considered as a demand to move to the edge of the road and stop. Do not go out of the car, this is prohibited. Simply lower the side window and wait for a police officer to come, and then follow his/her instructions.
