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 Cannes 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 Cannes 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 Cannes, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.
OrangeSmile.com wishes you an exciting journey with an open roof around France!

According to the current rules, car drivers and bikers must always carry a disposable breathalyzer. It is prohibited to refuse to pass the test. This will inevitably lead to a heavy fine and disqualification.
If the content of alcohol in blood is from 0.5 ‰ to 0.8 ‰, the violator will be issued a fine of 135 euro. If the result of the breathalyzer exceeds 0.8 ‰, the violator can be fined up to 4,500 euro and can lose his driving license for a period of up to three years. If a drunk driver became a participant of an accident, he is likely to go to prison.
Starting from November 1, 2012, the absence of a breathalyzer is also the reason for a fine of 11 euro. The new rule applies equally to both local and foreign drivers. Breathalyzers can be bought literally in any specialty store or a gas station.
