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 Lucerne 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 Lucerne 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 Lucerne!
Rental process FAQ
Pedestrians also have the advantage. It should be noted that not all pedestrian crossings have traffic lights. Even if there is no traffic light, cars are required to stop and wait until the road is free. You can be sure that pedestrians will certainly reward drivers with a friendly smile for their attention.
Older people and children often cross the road in the wrong place, but drivers should treat such behavior with understanding. Pensioners and children are treated with particular attention in the country. You will need to give way to them even if there is no pedestrian crossing.
There is the so-called “30-kilometer zone” in almost every city in the country. As you can guess from the name, the maximum permitted speed in this zone is 30 km/h. As a rule, such areas are located away from the city center. Drivers are always warned about such zones by special road signs.
