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 Puerto Plata 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 Puerto Plata 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 Puerto Plata!
Rental process FAQ
There are always many beggars at traffic lights and intersections. When driving, it is better to keep windows fully closed. If you are used to driving with car windows open, you should check there are no items left on the seats as they can be stolen through an open window in a couple of seconds.
When driving in the countryside, you should pay attention to the livestock. Goats, horses, pigs and cows often appear on the road. Sometimes they even stroll on the streets of big cities.
In some cities, roads are full of sellers, who offer various souvenirs and trinkets. Once the stream of cars stops at an intersection or a crosswalk, they walk between the rows of cars and offer their goods to drivers.
