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 St Moritz 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 St Moritz 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 St Moritz!
Rental process FAQ
In Switzerland, there are also toll roads. The fee is also charged for using some tunnels. Tourists, who plan to drive on highways, will need to pay the toll only once. The amount of the toll is approximately 40 francs. After this, you can use highways free of charge.
The toll payment involves the purchase of the special “Vignette” card. It is possible to buy it at customs, at any petrol station or in a post office. The card should be placed under the windshield. Drivers, who do not have the “Vignette” card, are not allowed to use highways. The validity period of the card is 14 months.
The presence of the "Vignette" is strictly monitored. In case of breaking this rule, the driver will have to pay a fine of 200 francs. The punishment also involves the purchase of the card, regardless of the fact whether you plan to use it or no.
