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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles 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 Los Angeles!
Rental process FAQ
The local road signs are very easy to understand. Almost all of them have an accompanying description that fully reflects the meaning of the sign. Thus, a speed limit sign can have an inscription “SPEED LIMIT 50”, and a sign with the requirement to stop will surely contain the “STOP” inscription.
Curbs along local roads are often painted in different colors. It is strictly prohibited to stop and parking cars on a road with a red curb. Roads with yellow curbs signify that it is possible to pick up and put off passengers, but this should be done very quickly.
It is allowed to stop and park a car for a short time next to the green curb, but in no case should one park a car near the blue curb - these are special parking spaces for the disabled. It is also possible to pick up and put off passengers near the white curb.
