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

Parking a car for more than a day can be done in special stalls only. All major cities have special “horodateurs” parking lots that are equipped with special payment machines. This type of parking can be paid only by a special card. These cards are sold only in specialized tobacco shops, which are marked with the “tabacs” sign.
It is possible to park for free during certain hours in specially designated areas. Typically, parking fee will not be charged on holidays and weekends, and during the period from 19:00 to 9:00 on weekdays. In many large cities drivers can enjoy free parking during the period from 12:00 to 13:30.
If the visibility on the road is less than 50 meters, then drivers are obliged to move at a speed of no more than 50 km/h, regardless of the type and characteristics of the road. There is also a speed limit for vehicles equipped with winter tires - no more than 90 km/h.
