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 Bern 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 Bern 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 Bern!
