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 Cairo 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 Cairo 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 Cairo!
Rental process FAQ
Road accidents in Egypt have become absolutely normal. As local drivers do not know much about such a thing as “distance”, quite often up to ten cars become involved in an accident. Very little attention is paid to regulation of the traffic. It is even difficult to see a police patrol or prohibitory signs on the road.
Pedestrians should keep in mind that it is risky to cross the road in Egypt. Local people have already become accustomed to tough situation on the road, so they cross the road (most frequently run towards the other side of the road) in any convenient location, often crossing the road together with camels to protect their lives.
Local petrol stations usually sell diesel fuel and petrol (octane value 90 and 92). Gas stations have also become very popular in the country. As a rule, the cost of gas is three times cheaper than petrol and half the price of the diesel fuel.
