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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff 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 Cardiff!
Rental process FAQ
Because of private land plots, there is a serious problem in the highlands. Many compare driving on local roads with a roller coaster - there are so many sharp turns, climbs and descents. It is simply impossible to find a single straight road in the piedmont region. All the roads here are very winding, and quite often one should make a big detour in order to reach the destination.
Local drivers are very attentive to speed limits. Foreign guests are also recommended to follow this behavior. There are many radar spots on roads, the presence of which is notified by special signs. Most radar works on the outgoing end.
Fans of travelling to the countryside, should remember that all land in the UK is in a private ownership. Because of this reason, it will be really hard to make a stop, get out of the car and slowly walk through the woods. Almost all the land outside towns is surrounded by fences.
