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 Cozumel 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 Cozumel 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 Cozumel!
Rental process FAQ
Mexico City remains the leader in terms of heavy traffic jams. In capital, it is recommended to use cars only in case of emergency. There are approximately 8 million vehicles in Mexico, so driving at a high speed is simply impossible on local streets.
There is a very interesting rule that works on the streets of the capital. It is called “One day without a car” (Un Dia Sin Auto). Once a week, drivers are not allowed to use a personal car. The exact day, on which it is forbidden to ride a car, depends on the last digit in the car’s number.
Drivers are recommended to pay attention to «Hoy no Circula» road signs, they provide a detailed description of the abovementioned rule. Starting from the beginning of December to the end of January, there are two days “without a car” instead of one.
