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 Karlstad 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 Karlstad 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 Karlstad!
Rental process FAQ
The white letter “M” on a blue background is rather an unusual sign, which can often be seen in narrow streets. Drivers, who see this sign on their side of road, must give way to vehicles moving in the opposite direction. The meaning of the sign is very simple - it means “Motesplats” or “a meeting place”.
Local police have no authority to accept payments for fines, so do not try to pay to a police officer as it can be considered as an attempt to give a bribe. Fines should be paid only in the bank.
When approaching the payment area on a toll road, you can see that different lanes are marked with different colors. If you want to pay in cash, select the yellow lane; the blue lane is for drivers who want to pay by card. You should not choose the green lane as it is only available to customers of the BroBizz electronic payment system.
