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 Portoroz 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 Portoroz 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 Portoroz!
Rental process FAQ
Some roads in Slovenia are toll ones, so, in order to use them, motorists need to buy a vignette. The minimum cost of the vignette is approximately US$20 (valid for a week). It is possible to buy a vignette with different validity periods. The presence of the sticker is strictly controlled, and the penalty for driving on toll roads without the vignette ranges from US$440 to 1000.
You can buy a vignette at customs, as well as at some major petrol stations and shopping malls. The vignette must be attached to the upper left corner of the windshield on the inside. If the sticker is not attached, it is void, even if its validity period is correct.
You should also pay for the use of the Karawanken tunnel, which connects the A2 motorway with the Austrian A11 motorway. The cost of ride for an average car is approximately 6.5 euro. Motorists also have an opportunity to purchase a pass for a month (21.5 euro) or a year (58 euro).
