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 Berlin 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 Berlin 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 Berlin!
Rental process FAQ
When driving on a highway at a speed that is far exceeding the recommended one (130 km/h), you must turn on the upper beams or at least the left winker - with the help of such an unwritten rule fast speed drivers alert other drivers of a possible danger.
Leaving au autobahn is one of the most dangerous maneuvers. Moving in unison with fast traffic can sometimes be very difficult. However, among local drivers there are usually many good people, who are always ready to give way to a timid beginner. If you want to thank them, simply raise your hand.
If you cannot enter an autobahn for a long time, do not honk and flash with your beams. Such a behavior is considered to be good enough only for truckers. Other drivers must wait patiently and hurry up if a favorable situation for a maneuver occurs.
