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 Side 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 Side 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 Side!
Rental process FAQ
Local drivers are inclined to making violent maneuvers on the road. You can expect virtually anything from them. Sharp turns and sudden stops, passing the red light and speeding – these are the most common traffic violations in Turkey. It is also worth considering that drivers make maneuvers without turning on light signals. This fact makes the situation on the roads of the country really complicated.
The speed limit in settlements is 50 km/h, and on country roads the maximum allowed speed is 90 km/h. On motorways, drivers are allowed to move at a speed of 120 km/h. As it has been noted above, local people rarely pay attention to such little and “insignificant” things like speed limit.
Foreign drivers are recommended to refrain from traveling at night. The fact is, even at night local drivers prefer not to turn the beams on and can stop their cars right in the middle of the road.
