The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Argentina are: Renault Megane Cabriolet, Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Ford Mustang Convertible and VW Eos Convertible.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Mendoza require two credit cards to guarantee issuance of a cabrio or a roadster.
We recommend ordering additional no-excess insurance that covers your risk (franchise), since the franchise amount for cabriolets in Argentina is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Mendoza and compare it with the information indicated in your voucher. Sometimes, rental officers make 'unintentional' mistakes in rental invoices.
In parking garage, examine the vehicle for defects and scratches carefully. If you find any of them, check whether they have been specified in your rental document.
When parking a cabriolet in Mendoza, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Help on the rental process
In order to remind drivers to follow speed limits, roads are often equipped with the so called “speed bumps”. Their presence is not indicated by any additional signs, and because of the shade that trees cast to the road, it is often even impossible to notice them. Only in large cities on busy roads the “speed bumps” can be painted with bright markings.
Local drivers tend to ignore the established traffic regulations. They feel very confident and free on the road. Do not be surprised by the fact how easy they can cross a solid line, even the police can drive in a similar way. Foreign visitors should not follow their example and risk, if the violation is noticed, the driver will have to pay a heavy fine.
If the car is broken down, then local drivers can easily start repairing it right on the road. They are absolutely not confused by the fact that a parked car in the middle of the road is a serious hindrance for other traffic participants.
