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 Kagoshima 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 Kagoshima 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 Kagoshima!
Rental process FAQ
Tourists, who plan to travel in the country a lot, will surely notice that all roads in Japan are of the same high quality. The structure and color of asphalt surface on main roads and on small suburban roads has absolutely no differences. The same applies to road marking.
All roads in the country are equipped with curbs. There are also excellent storm sewers along them. Even during heavy rains driving on local roads is very comfortable. It should be noted that storm sewers on the roads are constructed with amazing geometrical precision, so even in a heavy rain you will not see any puddles on the asphalt.
This peculiarity of local roads explains the fact why many Japanese cars are simply not equipped with beam washers. Local motorists can hardly imagine why someone may need this device.
