Car Rental in Venice

Convertible rental in Venice

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

OrangeSmile.com wishes you an exciting journey with an open roof around Italy!

Previous hints
Anti-fog lights can be turned on only when the visibility on the road is less than 50 meters. Otherwise, you can be issued rather a big fine.
Even if you increase speed on those parts of roads that are not equipped with cameras, your violation is not likely to be unnoticed. The majority of roads are equipped with Tutor radars that fix the time, during which cars move from one camera to another. Therefore, calculating their average speed is not difficult.
Foreign visitors should keep in mind that quite often the location of signs is quite unusual on local roads. In many areas they are not installed parallel to the road, but at an angle or even perpendicular to it. Despite this fact drivers should keep moving straight ahead.

Enjoying sights of Venice in cabriolet
If you prefer walking to water-based activities, don’t forget to find the narrowest streets of Venice. Ramo Ca Zusto and Calle Varisco are considered the leaders in this category. The width of the latter one is only 53 centimeters, so if you want to slip between tall old buildings, make sure no one is moving into your direction from the opposite side of the street. Otherwise, you might need to go back in the middle of your way – there’s not enough space for two people to pass each other on the narrowest street in Venice.
If you think that you’re well-aware of all important religious landmarks of Venice, you might be mistaken. Travelers keen on art will find it very interesting to visit the ancient church of San Fantin . It’s incredibly interesting not only because of its old façade, but also because of an installation, Post-vs-Proto-Renaissance, exhibited there. The author of the installation is Oksana Mas, a famous modern artist. Post-vs-Proto-Renaissance consists of 13,000 wooden Easter eggs, each of which is hand painted.

The picturesque Burano quarter is a no less interesting place for walking. It is located on islands, so there has never been a single car there. You will not face endless tourists as well, so it’s possible to enjoy an unhurried walk along canals, observe boats of local people docked nearby, and admire charming small houses with facades painted in all colors of the rainbow. The most attentive travelers will find several homerun restaurants that offer excellent fish dishes at affordable rates.
