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 Oulu 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 Oulu 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 Oulu!
Rental process FAQ
The speed limit in Finland is checked by radars and cameras that are installed literally everywhere. According to local regulations, it is prohibited to use and even carry anti-radar equipment and other similar devices. The violation of this rule will result in a heavy fine.
The fine for exceeding the speed depends on how much you exceed it. For example, if the maximum allowed speed was exceeded by at least 20 km/h and this was the first violation of this kind for a driver, he can get only a warning. If the driver is caught for the second time, he shouldn’t hope for one more warning. In case of a serious violation, the amount of the fine depends on the level of income of the offender.
Wrong overtaking is considered one of the most serious violations. In addition to a large fine, your driving license can be suspended. It is prohibited to make the maneuver when there are cars moving in the opposite direction nearby. It is also not permitted to overtake if this maneuver will make cars nearby or cars moving in the opposite direction drive to the roadside.
