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 Ixtapa 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 Ixtapa 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 Ixtapa!
Rental process FAQ
Many roads in the territory of cities are distinguished by the huge number of speed limiters (“speed bumps”), some of which are official, and some of which are self-established by locals.
In large cities of the country there are heavy traffic jams on main roads almost every day. The two-wheeled transport makes the situation even more complicated. Drivers of motorcycles and mopeds ride at a very high speed and overcome areas with slow traffic by weaving between cars.
Taking into consideration the abovementioned peculiarities of local roads, drivers should always have a little more fuel in the tank than needed for the planned trip. Foreign travellers should also take into account the fact that many local petrol stations may simply not have petrol, so fill up the tank on the first petrol station on the road is not always possible.
