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 Dortmund 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 Dortmund 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 Dortmund!
Rental process FAQ
You will see bright orange columns on autobahns. They are placed at regular intervals. They are necessary in order to call for help in case of an accident or a breakdown. However, drivers can also use a standard way and call for help on the phone.
Finding the nearest column on a road is not difficult - its direction is indicated by black arrows on the roadside black and white poles.
In cities, in addition to special parking places for disabled, there are parking spaces for women. It is natural that all drivers cannot park on these parking stalls. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to signs next to the parking of your choice.
