The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Emirates traditionally include the following vehicles: Toyota Camry, Nissan Maxima, Mercedes C Class, BMW 3 Series, Nissan Primera, Mercedes A Class 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 Abu Dhabi 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 Abu Dhabi 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 Abu Dhabi!
Rental process FAQ
It is also worth noting that there is no road narrowing at highway exits. That means if there are two lanes for leaving the highway, the exit will be just as broad. It should be noted that in many countries such exits from main roads often become the reason for endless traffic jams. Drivers in the UAE simply do not know about such a problem.
The places, where roads merge, usually have well-organized road markings. At such sites, dividing lanes are marked with cones or special columns that are securely fixed. In some merging sites concrete barriers are used instead of dividing markings. This fact minimizes the risk of passing difficult parts of the road.
There is a strict minimum speed limit on the highways in the UAE, which is 60 km/h. Driving with the speed slower than the indicated one is also considered a serious violation, not to mention the fact that slow drivers irritate other drivers on the road.
