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 Dammam 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 Dammam 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 Dammam!
Rental process FAQ
In spite of the fact that it is prohibited to transport children in the front seat of the car, you may often see how a driver is holding a baby in his arms. Many local residents believe that this is the safest way to travel with children.
The issue of seat adjustment is also solved in a very interesting manner in the country. Local drivers often push the seat all the way back, recline the backrest, and then sit down in a comfortable position. While driving, local motorists often hold the steering wheel with one hand only.
Foreign guests may consider the behavior of local motorists rather careless, but locals really follow mostly unwritten rules rather than established traffic regulations. For example, if there is a car standing on the side of a deserted road, local drivers will surely stop and ask whether someone needs their help.
