Car Rental in San Jose

Family car rental in San Jose

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in USA traditionally include the following vehicles: Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Toyota Avensis, Hyundai Sonata, Oldsmobile Alero, Pontiac G5 and others.

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 San Jose 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 San Jose 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 San Jose!

Each highway also has a unique number. The freeways that lead from north to south have odd numbers, while the freeways, which lead from west to east, have, respectively, even numbers. The number of vertical lines increases in the direction from west to east, and the horizontal - from north to south.
Signs with numbers, which are installed on federal highways, also have additional letter signs: «N», «S», «W» and «E». They mean that on this road traffic goes to the north, south, west, and east respectively.
In addition to highways and freeways there are so-called toll roads. It is very simple to distinguish them on a map – unlike the rest of roads, they are marked with green. Payments for the use of toll roads are made in special locations close to toll roads.
