The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in India are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet and Ford Mustang Convertible.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Kolkata 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 India is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Kolkata 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 Kolkata, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Help on the rental process
The majority of cars in the country are very old and worn-out. Many local people use their cars for decades. For the majority of locals the car remains the main, if not the only means of transport available. It is also quite rare to see a person travelling alone. As a rule, the number of passengers in the car greatly exceeds the permitted limit.
Outside large cities locals often use roads not only for their primary purpose, but also for their own needs. They can use roads to dry rice, or simply cover the road surface with washed clothes. Many people deliberately leave coconut shells on the road, so cars passing by can break it. Later, locals use the crushed coconut shell to stuff car seats and mattresses.
Vast majority of vehicles in India are powered by diesel fuel. It is hard to find even the 92 petrol at local petrol stations. As a rule, you can buy it in big cities only.
