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

If road signs, curbs and other barriers were damaged in case of a road accident, the driver who is guilty in the accident is required to pay for the damage done. For example, we can say that inattentive drivers will have to pay about US$6000 to repair the damaged traffic light.
In Japan, there are quite many toll roads. As a rule, payments are accepted in many different ways - in cash, by credit card or by using a special electronic device.
Local drivers, who often use toll roads, prefer to install special mobile payment gadgets. When cars with such gadgets cross the barrier at the entrance to the toll road, the cars are registered automatically, and at the end of the month the driver receives a separate bill for using the “road” services.
