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 Kuopio 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 Kuopio 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 Kuopio!

In Finland, drivers should be very careful about following the speed limit. In the territory of settlements, the speed limit ranges from 40 to 60 km/h, depending on the specific type of the road. On highways, the limit is 100 - 120 km/h, and it depends not only on the type of road, but also on the time of year. On other country roads, the maximum speed is 80 km/h.
While driving, it is always important to turn the low beams on. This requirement is valid at any time of day. Also, keep in mind that the driver and all the passengers in the car must fasten seat belts.
Small children can be transported in a car only in a special child seat that must be placed in the back seat of a car. Sometimes, as an exception, it is permitted to install the child seat in the car’s front seat, but it must be put with its back forward.
