The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Egypt are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet and Ford Mustang Convertible.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Cairo 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 Egypt is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Cairo 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 Cairo, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Help on the rental process
It is extremely difficult to drive on local roads even in the daytime. Foreigners are also recommended to refrain from night trips. In Egypt, drivers rarely use beam lights, so at night it is possible to recognize a car on the road, perhaps, only by its marker lights. On country roads, livestock is also a source of serious danger for cars – it often goes to the road.
Cars are considered “privileged” users of Egyptian roads, so drivers never give way to pedestrians. Sometimes drivers stop at traffic lights. Even zebra crossings are not an obstacle for those who like driving fast.
It should be noted that traffic lights are a true rarity in Egyptian cities. In larger towns, the installation of traffic lights has been started just recently. For example, in Hurghada the first traffic light appeared in 2009. Not surprisingly, people living in remote regions of the country often do not even know the meaning of this strange device.
