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 Pretoria 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 Pretoria 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 Pretoria!
Rental process FAQ
Each type of roads has its own speed limit. For example, it is prohibited to drive faster than 60 km/h in the territory of settlements. On country roads, the maximum permitted speed is 100 km/h, and on highways it is 120 km/h.
While moving, drivers should not forget to pay attention to road signs, because the speed limit can be different for different parts of roads. Speed control is carried out by means of special radars and cameras. Any violation of traffic regulations will result in heavy fines.
In addition to speeding, driving while intoxicated is considered a very serious violation. Drivers should also keep in mind that, while driving, the driver and all the passengers must fasten seat belts.
