The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Brazil 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 Recife 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 Brazil is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Recife 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 Recife, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

While driving, do not forget to pay attention to road signs that indicate the speed limit. They can be located in most unexpected places. Experienced motorists usually recommend paying attention to local drivers as they never slow down without a serious reason.
If main highways in the country are distinguished by good quality of road surface, secondary roads are not so good. There often many dents and holes on them. Some holes are really big, so it is not recommended to drive fast on them or travel on such roads at night.
Road works in Brazil are fairly organized. There is always a special worker in the uniform who informs drivers about the closed area. If he is holding a red sign that says «PARE», this means that the road is closed. If the worker holds a green sign with the word «SIGA», it is permitted to drive.
