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 Bergamo 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 Bergamo 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 Bergamo!
Rental process FAQ
Local drivers often ignore speed limits. However, foreign visitors should not break the local traffic regulations. Fines for violation of the traffic rules in Italy are the highest in Europe.
For example, for a speeding of 5 - 30 km/h one can get a fine of 30 - 200 euro. Drivers, who exceed the speed for more than 30 km/h, will receive a fine between 400 and 1400 euro, and will be suspended from driving a vehicle.
Do not hope that speeding will be unnoticed. There are many radars on roads, and they accurately capture even a slightest deviation from the normal speed. However, drivers also should not move slower than the speed indicated on road signs - it will certainly displease local drivers.
