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 Mytilene 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 Mytilene 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 Mytilene!
Rental process FAQ
Roads in the country are the most terrible roads for foreign drivers. Despite the speed limit of 80 km/h, local drivers rarely move on them at a speed below 120 km/h. As a rule, two-lane roads have rather broad shoulders, so many cautious drivers prefer to move on them.
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.
