The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Greece traditionally include the following vehicles: VW Passat, Honda Accord, Audi A3, Toyota Avensis, Hyundai Sonata, Renault Megane 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 Agios Nikolaos 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 Agios Nikolaos 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 Agios Nikolaos!

Driving Advices for Greece – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities
Previous hints
If a vehicle that moves behind wants to overtake, it is recommended to drive as close to the shoulder of road as possible and give way to driver in a hurry. Moving on the side of a road should also be careful, because it can end suddenly because of a ditch, a bridge, or a broken down and abandoned car.
Local pedestrians are also not distinguished by a diligent compliance with traffic regulations. They may start crossing a road in the wrong place, without paying any attention to the rapid car traffic. When approaching a traffic light, drivers should also not rely on vigilance of pedestrians. They do not always wait for the traffic lights to switch to the desired signal.
There are many unusual memorial structures on the roads of Greece. These are miniature temples with a candle inside them and pictures of people killed in car accidents. Every year, nearly a thousand and a half are killed on the roads of Greece.

Traveling in Agios Nikolaos with family car
The local people are distinguished by hot-tempered and rather sentimental character that unusually contrasts with tolerance and humility. Punctuality has never been a strong point of the indigenous people. They can be late even for an important business meeting. While communicating with the locals, tourists often incorrectly interpret the meaning of some words. Thus, the word "avrio" can be translated as "tomorrow", but in reality it means a refusal. The time from 14 to 18 is considered a leisure time for the locals. Making phone calls at this time is not desirable, and many shops and institutions may be closed for a break.

Life in the city is measured and unhurried. It seems that nothing can force the Greeks to hurry up and devote all their energy to work and solving problems. In local cafes and restaurants visitors quite often need to wait for a long time to get their order. At a glance this might look like a sign of disrespect. However, in reality such situation is considered normal - local people are accustomed to calm and measured live. Nevertheless, the natives are very obliging and industrious. Even if you need to wait a bit more than expected to get your request done, it will be done the best way possible.
