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 Al Khobar 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 Al Khobar 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 Al Khobar!

There are many one way roads and roundabouts in the territory of settlements. At roundabouts, cars that move in the circle have the advantage. At usual crossroads the traffic regulations are standard with the only exception – local rules allow turning right at the red light.
You will often see police checkpoints on busy highways. Moreover, policemen often patrol the streets on ordinary cars without any special markings. There also may be hidden cameras and radars installed on large roads, so it is not recommended to break traffic rules.
