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 Narvik 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 Narvik 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 Narvik!
Rental process FAQ
The inability of local drivers to drive backwards is another important feature of traffic in the country. Of course, this applies not to all motorists, but it is still recommended not to drive close to a car that moves backwards in order to turn or leave a parking space.
The roads in Norway are very narrow. Even roads that belong to the “E” category usually have just two lanes. The roads with two lanes in each direction are quite rare in the country, and there are no more than ten roads in Norway with 3 - 4 lanes in one direction.
The advantage on local roads belongs not to motorists, but to pedestrians. If you approach the “zebra” crossing, it is necessary to slow down. If a pedestrian has already started crossing the road, you will need to stop completely. The driver, who did not give way to a pedestrian, will be certainly disrespected by local drivers, and will have to pay a fine of US$500.
