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 Cluj-Napoca 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 Cluj-Napoca 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 Cluj-Napoca!
Rental process FAQ
The use of studded tires is strictly prohibited in the country. If you need to ride on roads covered with ice or snow, it is possible to equip the vehicle with snow chains, but you cannot use them on ordinary roads.
Starting from 2006, it has become mandatory to use low beams on local roads. Drivers are allowed to use anti-fog lights only when weather conditions are bad, otherwise the offender will be fined.
In Romania, you can use radar detectors. There are no penalties about them in the country. However, drivers should not forget that many police cars are equipped with modern laser radar equipment, so not all radar detectors can identify them. The use of anti-radar equipment is prohibited, and the offender is likely to receive a huge fine. Of course, the prohibited device will be immediately confiscated.
