The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in France are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet, Audi A3 Convertible, Audi A4 Convertible and BMW Z4 Roadster.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Bordeaux 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 France is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Bordeaux 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 Bordeaux, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Help on the rental process
There are many roundabout crossings at the entrance to big cities. As a rule, these crossings connect several roads. In order to continue moving to the city of your choice, drivers should choose the road, which is labeled as the "main" or "principal" one.
Local drivers are very polite and responsive. If there is a sudden breakdown, then simply turn on the alarm signal, get out of the car and raise your hand. There is no doubt that the first car that passes you by will stop, and there will be a huge number of people willing to help.
Local drivers also help tourists who get lost among numerous interchanges. If a driver goes in the same direction, he will certainly propose an inexperienced driver to follow him, and, thus, will “take” him to the right place.
