The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Germany 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 Hamburg 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 Hamburg 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 Hamburg!
Rental process FAQ
When driving on streets with pedestrian crossings, drivers should not go faster than pedestrians. The recommended speed close to schools and other children's institutions is 30 km/h. Drivers will be certainly warned about this fact by special warning signs.
On circular roads the cars that already move on the circle have the priority. However, this rule should be used with caution as not all local motorists are distinguished by diligent compliance.
All fines should be paid within seven days. An important note - in case of a driving without a fastened seat belt the fine is paid by the passenger who forgot to fasten it, not by the driver.
