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 Aachen 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 Aachen 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 Aachen!
Rental process FAQ
Particular attention should be paid when approaching a pedestrian crossing. In Germany, they have purely "precautious" nature. When stopping at a crossing, do not expect that a car that moves behind will stop too. Therefore, do not forget to look in the rear-view mirror.
Local drivers have completely different attitude to crossings that are located in narrow streets and start at entrances of buildings. All cars must stop before these crossings.
If a car stopped behind a tram, a driver must stop and wait until all passengers leave the road. Do not attempt to drive through the crowd of people – this would be a serious violation of local traffic regulations.
