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 Playa Del Carmen 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 Playa Del Carmen 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 Playa Del Carmen!
Rental process FAQ
Given that many intersections simply have no road signs that would explain the rules of passing them, crossroads have become the most dangerous sections of local roads for foreign visitors.
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.
