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 Bangkok 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 Bangkok 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 Bangkok!
Rental process FAQ
You will see numerous fans of fast driving on roads of Thailand. Foreign drivers are recommended to stay away from these speed racers. As a rule, these drivers choose the extreme right lane, so it is safer to keep as close to the extreme left lane as possible.
There is one more reason for staying as far away from the curb as possible. Many drivers park their cars on the side of the road, and they have the habit of opening the car’s door unexpectedly, without paying attention to other cars. The suddenly opened car door has even become a frequent cause of serious accidents.
A large part of local motorbike and scooter drivers are underage teenagers. Of course, this fact also has its significant influence on traffic. According to local traffic regulations, people aged 15 and older are allowed to ride a motorbike.
