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 Rhodes 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 Rhodes 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 Rhodes!
Rental process FAQ
The maximum allowed speed when driving in the territory of a city is 50 km/h. In the country the speed limit is 80 km/h, and on highways the maximum permitted speed is 130 km/h. It should be noted that local drivers often do not follow the abovementioned speed limit rules. Almost none of local residents will drive on a highway at a speed less than 150 km/h.
Local roads are distinguished by high quality. Large highways are considered the best, but even small roads in the country will surprise drivers with their smooth surface and level of equipment.
Autobahns are paid in Greece. The cost of a ride depends on the route and type of a vehicle. As a rule, the average cost of using a highway is from 2.5 to 6 euro. Payments are usually made in cash, so drivers are recommended to make sure they have coins and paper money in small denominations.
