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 Turin 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 Turin 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 Turin, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Do not forget to move carefully on unfamiliar roads. If you pass a turn accidentally, turning back can be very difficult. Many narrow streets simply have no space for a turn, and many roads have only one-way traffic.
The maximum permitted level of alcohol in blood is 0.5 ppm (a bottle of beer or a glass of wine). Drivers, who exceed the abovementioned limit, will be issued a large monetary fine and a temporary suspension of the driving license. In particularly severe cases violators can be imprisoned.
While driving on a highway, you will see big electronic scoreboards that indicate petrol prices at the nearest gas stations. Experienced drivers prefer filling the tank on small self-service petrol stations (Fai da ate). In this case, there’s a chance to save considerably.
