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 Portland 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 Portland 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 Portland!
Rental process FAQ
Entering toll roads is recorded – there are special control turnstiles particularly for this purpose. When passing a gate through, you must take a special ticket, which marks the place and the time of your arrival. After that, a turnstile will open and you can continue driving.
When leaving a toll road, drivers are required to show the ticket issued earlier. It will help to determine the price for using the road. In this case, the payment can be made both by credit card and in cash.
One more important factor – exceeding the maximum permitted speed on toll roads is prohibited, even if there are no police. The time of entering and leaving a toll road is clearly recorded. This means that officers will have no difficulty in calculating the average speed of any vehicle.
