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 Belp 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 Belp 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 Belp!
Rental process FAQ
On highways, the maximum permitted speed is 120 km/h. The speed control is carried out by special radars. The police often patrol the roads using ordinary cars without any markings, so it is not recommended to risk and break the rules.
Stopping on the highway and parking the car on the road border is allowed in exceptional cases only, for example, in case of an acute health problem or a break. If the driver stopped because he had ran out of fuel, he will have to pay a large fine for violation of the traffic regulations.
Several special rules must be remembered in respect of driving through tunnels. If there is a traffic jam in a tunnel, it is prohibited to stand motionless with the engine running. If special services staff asks you to leave the tunnel quickly, you need to obey their order immediately. The keys should be left inside the car, and you should leave the tunnel through the emergency exit.
