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 Nimes 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 Nimes 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 Nimes!
Rental process FAQ
Driving in a state of alcoholic intoxication is one of the most serious traffic regulations violations. The level of alcohol in blood cannot exceed 0.5 ppm. Violators of this rule are due to heavy fines, suspension of the driving license. In severe cases, drivers can even be imprisoned.
In cities drivers should pay a special attention to local cyclists. Sometimes it may seem that they have absolutely no "instinct of self-preservation". Drivers of the “two-wheeled transport” can move leisurely in the center of a busy road and easy to speak on the phone. Honking and complaining in such a situation is not accepted.
Motorcycles are particularly dangerous during traffic jams. They can easily ride between the rows of cars at a high speed. When driving on a highway, do not forget to look to the side view mirrors.
