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

Help on the rental process
If you plan to travel a lot in the countryside, it is worth remembering one more important rule. Local people are very concerned about their nature and environment, so you can ride on marked roads only.
In winter, as well as in off-season, only experienced drivers are recommended to drive on local roads. In winter, many roads are covered with snow, so mountain roads become very slippery and dangerous. Strong wind is another source of problems for motorists. It is especially noticeable in open areas.
The fact that there are not many vehicles in Iceland significantly eases the situation. Even in capital it will not be difficult to find a free parking place. All cities in the country have a sufficient number of parking sites of different types and sizes.
