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 Valence 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 Valence 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 Valence!
Rental process FAQ
If you decide to neglect the local rules and, having overtaken a car, stay on the left lane, one of local drivers will definitely want to "punish the offender". An angered local driver can drive behind on a dangerously close distance and will haunt the offender’s car until he goes back to the right lane.
Quite an unusual fact - even in large cities there are a lot of streets with one-way traffic. This fact should be definitely taken into consideration, when making the route of your future ride.
There are crossroads with circular movement close to numerous major squares. When entering a circle, do not forget that you should give way to drivers who make a maneuver in the right. Such a maneuver may seem to be quite complex to inexperienced drivers, so there are the so-called bypass “roads for cowards” close to major squares. One of them is located in Paris – it is located next to Place Charles de Gaulle.
