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 Cannes 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 Cannes 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 Cannes!
Rental process FAQ
Drivers should not forget that there is also a concept of minimum speed on highways. Moving slower than 80 km/h is prohibited unless there is the influence of some external factors (the presence of adverse weather conditions or congestion).
Highways have a huge number of radars that trace speeding accurately. The presence of cameras is not marked and drivers are not alerted about them, so you should be especially careful and try not to exceed the speed limit.
According to the current rules, car drivers and bikers must always carry a disposable breathalyzer. It is prohibited to refuse to pass the test. This will inevitably lead to a heavy fine and disqualification.
