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 Mainz 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 Mainz 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 Mainz!
Rental process FAQ
The cost of petrol at different petrol stations may have a difference of up to 5 cents. Therefore, a driver can easily pay up to 10 euro more for one filling. As a rule, the most expensive petrol stations are located on autobahns.
Local petrol stations work on a prepaid basis. Insert the fuel dispenser into the tank, select the type of fuel and its amount, and then go to the cashier to pay.
Petrol stations located on autobahns work around the clock. It will be quite problematic to fuel your car on roads of other type at night as not all petrol stations work 24 hours a day. Gas stations usually accept credit cards of international standard. It is also possible to pay in cash, but do not use banknotes of high denomination, such as 500 euro, they can be not accepted.
