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 Johor Bahru 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 Johor Bahru 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 Johor Bahru!
Rental process FAQ
If the quality of main city roads remains quite satisfactory, the quality of rural roads is poor. Often they do not have asphalt covering and are very narrow, so even two cars have too little space to pass one another.
You will see road signs of international standard on the roads of Malaysia, but there are also many local ones, where all the information is written exclusively in the national language. Since writing in Malaysia is based on the Latin alphabet, you will find it simple to understand the meaning of the majority of road signs. Foreign drivers will also be surprised with the unusual location of many road signs – they are often set after the crossroads.
Experienced drivers suggest seeking help of local people as that way it will be much easier to find your way to the desired place. Local people are very friendly. They treat foreigners with respect and are always happy to help with advice.
