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 Chamonix 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 Chamonix 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 Chamonix, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Help on the rental process
If your car breaks down on a highway, you can always call the emergency service through special telephones, which are installed on every kilometer of the road. Moreover, on toll roads technical assistance services are located every 40 kilometers.
If a breakdown happened on other types of roads, you will have to wait for help for a long time. In this case drivers are recommended to call the police that will say the phone number of the nearest technical assistance service.
In Paris, in addition to usual vehicles, one can often see Autolib and BlueCar electric cars in the streets. They are an ideal solution for people who mostly make short distance rides. Stations for charging such cars are installed every 100 meters in the city.
