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 Plzen 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 Plzen 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 Plzen!

There are no stationary police checkpoints on the roads of the Czech Republic. As a rule, the police simply patrol streets and country roads.

These cars are also equipped with radar, so you should always be very careful when driving and shouldn’t break the established speed limit.
Local police have the right to collect fines right on the spot. You are not obliged to pay the fine right away. If you do not want to or cannot pay the fine immediately, you can always ask for the receipt and pay it off later in any post office. You must make the payment within 14 days.
In the Czech Republic, there are very strict rules regarding the use of alcoholic beverages. Drivers are absolutely not allowed to consume alcohol. At night, the police often make checks. They can stop any vehicle and offer the driver to pass a breath test in order to check the blood alcohol content. Drivers are not recommended to refuse, because in this case the result is automatically considered positive.
