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 Mexicali 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 Mexicali 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 Mexicali!
Rental process FAQ
In addition to cars and two-wheeled vehicles, there are also pedicabs and rickshaws on local roads. These types of vehicles cannot be referred to as speedy ones, so they often become the reasons for traffic congestions.
Mexico City, Oaxaca, and Palenque are considered the most dangerous cities in terms of road accidents. Local drivers break traffic rules more often in these cities, and there are serious car accidents every day. Moreover, there is an incredible number of robbers and thieves on local roads, so one should always be very careful.
Relatively safe roads start from Merida, but that does not mean that drivers can relax and neglect even elementary precautions. This territory is rather popular with tourists, so there are a lot of foreign visitors on the roads. Consequently, traffic is rather calm there.
