The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in China traditionally include the following vehicles: VW Passat, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Peugeot 508, Ford Mondeo, Toyota Avensis 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 Shenzhen 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 Shenzhen 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 Shenzhen!
Rental process FAQ
Local drivers use both light and sound signals when they want to warn other traffic participants about their intention to make a maneuver. Therefore, before overtaking some vehicle, foreign drivers are recommended to turn the left turn signal on or press the horn.
It should be noted that in the residential area sound signals can be used only in case of a serious danger. You will see many road signs that notify drivers that they shouldn’t honk without any particular need. However, local drivers usually do not consider this rule “mandatory”.
Chinese car drivers treat each other with respect, but the same cannot be said about their attitude to pedestrians and drivers of the two-wheeled transport. Local drivers are not distinguished by aggression, they simply do not take cyclists and pedestrians seriously.
