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 Aberdeen 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 Aberdeen 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 Aberdeen!
Rental process FAQ
In the UK, there are not many crossroads that are so familiar to foreign drivers. Circular motion is more usual in the country. Inexperienced drivers will have a hard time on such a crossing with left driving. It will be not easy to understand quickly what road to choose to leave the circle. In this case, navigator will be a useful gadget.
It is not so easy to see policemen in the streets of the country. As a rule, the implementation of traffic regulations is made automatically - with the help of cameras. Violators of this rule should expect a fine to be sent by mail. If certain types of fines are paid within next three weeks, the amount of the monetary penalty can be significantly reduced.
Just like in many countries, in the UK there is a system “penalty” points for drivers who do not follow traffic regulations. Drivers are charged a different amount of points for different violations. When the number of points reaches the critical level, this driver loses his driving license temporarily.
