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

Local drivers are very attentive to speed limits. Foreign guests are also recommended to follow this behavior. There are many radar spots on roads, the presence of which is notified by special signs. Most radar works on the outgoing end.
Fans of travelling to the countryside, should remember that all land in the UK is in a private ownership. Because of this reason, it will be really hard to make a stop, get out of the car and slowly walk through the woods. Almost all the land outside towns is surrounded by fences.
The eastern part of the country has another danger for drivers - heavy rains. All local roads are located in lowlands, so right after rain they turn into fast-flowing rivers. An attempt to drive through a flooded road is always a risk, so, if possible, it is better to skip your plans or choose a different route to reach the desired place.
