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 Rijeka 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 Rijeka 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 Rijeka!

The majority of petrol stations are open from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm. In summer, some petrol stations may work until 22:00. 24/7 petrol stations can be usually found next to main highways, as well as in the center of large cities. The cost of fuel is usually high. You will have to pay approximately 10 kuna for one liter of 95-octane petrol.
In case of a breakdown you can always call road services by dialing 987, and in case of an accident do not forget to call the police (their short phone number is 92). To call the emergency, you need to use the phone number 94.
