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 Novosibirsk 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 Novosibirsk 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 Novosibirsk!
Rental process FAQ
Drivers are recommended to pay attention not to motorcycles that move at incredible speed, but to scooters. Often, these vehicles are used by teenagers who do not bother to follow traffic regulations.
Despite an impressive number of cyclists, there are no special lanes for this type of transport in Russia. There are rather wide sidewalks along some roads, so these sidewalks are used by both cyclists and pedestrians. In places with no sidewalks, cyclists have to move on the same road with public transport, trucks, and cars.
Don’t forget to be particularly careful when driving on the road with public transport. You should not overtake buses and trolley buses, if they have stopped to load and unload passengers. While driving, it is better to stay as far away from the fixed-run taxis as possible as they can load and unload passengers in the most unexpected places.
