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 Ulm 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 Ulm 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 Ulm, 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 Germany!
Help on the rental process
Drivers from other countries will find it difficult to get used to the local road signs that indicate the speed limit. For example, if the sign has a mark of 130 km/h, it is intuitively clear that one cannot exceed the mentioned speed. However, the speed lower than the indicated one is also considered unacceptable, because slow drivers cause troubles for cars that follow it.
If you plan to make a long trip, make sure you fill the tank with a reserve. Drivers should take into account the fact that there is a risk to get into a big traffic jam and consume a lot more fuel than expected. If a driver suddenly runs out of fuel and this causes road congestion, this driver will be issued a large fine.
It is strictly prohibited to stop on autobahn and park a car on the roadside. Only serious breakdowns or sudden problems with the driver’s health can be sufficient reasons for a stop. Do not try to simulate poor health - the police will surely suspect fraud and will call the ambulance to confirm the diagnosis.
