The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Germany 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 Karlsruhe 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 Germany is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Karlsruhe 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 Karlsruhe, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

There are also traffic lights that are equipped with radar and several cameras. They register violators and send this data to the police. Once the violation is confirmed, the driver will receive a fine sent by mail.
Do not even get into the car simply to relax after you drink alcohol – this is simply not accepted here. Staying in a car in a state of alcoholic intoxication is already a reason for the police to issue a fine. It will be also almost impossible to prove that the driver was not planning to go anywhere.
In case of a car accident the local police will be involved in the investigation only indirectly. Most of the work is done by employees of insurance companies. Police officers only make a protocol and transfer it to participants of an accident. The record of the accident recorded by DVR should also be given to insurance company officers.
