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 Mumbai 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 Mumbai 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 Mumbai!

Many people deliberately leave coconut shells on the road, so cars passing by can break it. Later, locals use the crushed coconut shell to stuff car seats and mattresses.
Vast majority of vehicles in India are powered by diesel fuel. It is hard to find even the 92 petrol at local petrol stations. As a rule, you can buy it in big cities only.
You will often see “speed bumps” in settlements, and the majority of them are marked with appropriate signs. Even if the road is relatively free, it is better not to speed up, because “speed bumps” can be located almost anywhere.
