The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Japan traditionally include the following vehicles: Toyota Camry, Saab 9-3, Nissan Maxima, Mercedes C Class, BMW 3 Series, Toyota Altis 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 Nagasaki 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 Nagasaki 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 Nagasaki!
Rental process FAQ
Even sidewalks here have a specific markup. Most of them are divided into two lanes. One of them is dedicated to pedestrians and the other one - for cyclists. In order to eliminate all misunderstandings between the groups, each “lane” on the sidewalk has a corresponding graphic sign.
Pedestrians are prohibited to occupy the part of road for cyclists, as well as cyclists cannot ride on the lane for pedestrians. Sometimes collisions happen even on sidewalks, and there are also fines for them.
In major cities, you may often see a bright T-type yellow marking on the pavement close to pedestrian crossings. If you examine the sign closely, you can see that the asphalt in this area is uneven and consists of rows of small knobs. This marking is applied specifically for blind pedestrians as it guides them directly to the “zebra”. Walking on such yellow knob areas is literally impossible as the surface is very rough.
