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

The brand of a car does not play any role in the organization of the traffic. All cars have the same rights on Italian roads. Drivers are also not recommended to change lanes very often, ride on the side of a road, and try to overtake cars in a rough way. Such a behavior is not accepted here and will surely cause a lot of frustration.
Super senza Pb (95th unleaded petrol) remains the cheapest type of fuel. The most advantageous way to refuel is to use special self-service petrol stations. Their fuel prices are slightly lower than in large petrol stations. Before driving to a petrol station, make sure you have a sufficient number of money in small denominations.
In Italy, any usage of cans for refueling and fuel storage is prohibited. Therefore, it is impossible to buy petrol to make a "reserve". However, drivers are unlikely to have difficulty finding petrol stations. There are many of them even on roads far from large cities.
