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 Puebla 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 Puebla 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 Puebla!
Rental process FAQ
In many cities police officers take bribes, and inexperienced motorists from other countries remain their main target. Police officers often deliberately exaggerate the amount of fines, relying on the ignorance of tourists. Such accidents are the most widespread in Acapulco.
If you see a police car riding behind you with flashing lights turned on, it should be considered as a demand to stop. Drivers should also keep in mind that stopping at the first convenient place is prohibited. An officer can issue an additional fine for that. It is better to get to the nearest bus draw-in and stop there.
Motorists should always have a sufficient amount of paper money and coins of small denominations as this way it will be easier to pay for parking and at petrol stations. When making a payment, be very careful and do not forget to ask a service worker to count money in your presence.
