The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in France traditionally include the following vehicles: Audi A4, VW Passat, Volvo V50, Renault Scenic, Honda Accord, Peugeot 508 and others.

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 St Tropez 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 St Tropez 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 St Tropez!

Driving Advices for France – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
A large part of country roads in France is paid. It very simple to distinguish them – they are marked with blue on the map. It should be noted that toll roads are distinguished by a very good quality of the asphalt. National roads are marked with green on maps, and all other routes are marked with white.
All toll road exits have their own unique number, so there is nothing difficult in orienting in them. In case you miss an exit, keep moving patiently to the next one – there will surely be a turning. Once you make a turn, simply follow the signs that will guide you how to drive back to the road.
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.

Traveling in Saint-Tropez with family car
San Tropez has gained a reputation of an upscale prestigious and a rather expensive resort being an established place of rest and recreation of world celebrities. However sparing tourists will have a chance to enjoy this resort sufficiently reducing expenses. In the remote districts of the city tourists will find attractive inexpensive hotels, meanwhile local markets attract visitors with rather affordable prices unlike numerous expensive local shops.

The resort city experiences the heaviest tourist traffic in late spring and in summer as during this period the resort features the most favorable weather and holds various engaging holidays and celebrations. As a rule, in the heat of the tourist season local hotels and inns raise prices for services and rooms.

An optimum way to pay for purchases and services is national currency. The currency can be exchanged in any bank or a private exchange office of the city. However the resort has adopted a developed system of cashless transfers and most of the institutions and establishments accept international credit cards. Cash will be needed to pay for goods on local open markets and for visiting some beach cafes.

Local restaurants and cafes welcome tips which should equal 10-15% of a total sum of the bill. Most prestigious gastronomy establishments commonly include service fee into a total bill however a small cash reward should be added to the sum quoted in the bill all the same.

Many local restaurants, bars and other entertainment establishments feature a dress-code. In order to avoid misunderstanding and embarrassing situations current rules should be specified in advance. In prestigious restaurants a table should be reserved in advance of few days.
