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 Angers 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 Angers 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 Angers!
Rental process FAQ
Note that “discounts” for fines are applied not to all traffic regulation violations, but only in case the fine was issued for a minor violation, such as a small speeding. Drivers must never forget to pay off all fines. A delay will inevitably lead to litigation and, as a result, to even greater financial penalties.
In addition diesel fuel, local gas stations offer unleaded petrol (sans plomb). Gas filling stations can be easily distinguished by the special LPG sign. Drivers are permitted to carry petrol in cans.
In winter traffic on some roads is possible only for cars equipped with special chains. Drivers will be notified about this by special warning signs. Chains should be added to the driving wheels only. In this case the vehicle’s speed should not be more than 50 km/h.
