The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Italy traditionally include the following vehicles: Audi A4, Volvo V50, Honda Accord, Audi A3, Toyota Avensis, Mazda 6 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 Bari 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 Bari 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 Bari!
Rental process FAQ
Drivers can calculate the cost of toll motorways by themselves. There is a scoreboard at the entrance of each highway. The scoreboard indicates the “unit rate” (the price per 1 km). Simply multiply the unit rate by the number of kilometers passed, and add 20% (VAT) to the resulting amount.
The unit rate is not constant and it depends on the type of a road, its management company and the type of a vehicle. The unit rate of a flat highway for cars can be approximately 0.06 - 0.07 euro.
It is very easy to pay for a toll road. Simply overcome a system of entry barriers and get a ticket for the payment (which can be made in cash or by a credit card). Do not enter a highway by crossing a yellow line – this entrance is made for vehicles equipped with an automatic TELEPASS payment system.
