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 Portsmouth GB 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 Portsmouth GB 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 Portsmouth GB!

Previous hints
Traffic is often very slow on the M1 highway that connects London and Leeds. Traffic jams can appear at any time of year on this road, the length of which is 322 kilometers.
The snowfall in winter is the real “national disaster” for the British. The reason for this is the fact that snow covers road markings, and it is almost impossible to drive without them. To the pleasure of local motorists, it snows very rarely in the UK.
It is simply useless to search for parking in the center of the city as there will be simply no free parking there. As a rule, there are always both paid and free parking lots near the center. Note that is it prohibited to leave a car for more than two hours on a free parking lot.

One of the oldest historic buildings in the city is Portchester Castle. Its construction began in the late 11th century and lasted almost a hundred years. The castle surrounded by picturesque forests was the favorite hunting residence of King John. Over the years, the castle has survived many battles. The very first major reconstruction of the castle took place in the 14th century by the order of King Edward II. After the renovation, the fortress was used as a prison for some time. Today, the castle's main tower houses a very interesting historical exhibition.
