The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Malaysia are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet and BMW Z4.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Kota Kinabalu 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 Malaysia is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Kota Kinabalu 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 Kota Kinabalu, 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 petrol stations are self-service ones. First you need to make the payment through the cashier and tell the number of the filling station. After this, you can go back and fill the tank.
For cars all highways are paid, but that does not concern drivers of motorbikes and bicycles who can use them for free. It is possible to pay the toll both in cash or using special cards. Foreign drivers are recommended to stock up on a sufficient number of coins in small denominations and pay in cash. When approaching a checkpoint, you must be very careful when choosing the lane.
There are special recreation areas along major roads, and travellers will see small shops and restaurants literally everywhere.
