The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Mexico are: Renault Megane Cabriolet, Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Ford Mustang Convertible and VW Eos Convertible.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Monterrey 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 Mexico is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Monterrey 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 Monterrey, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

In most cases, police officers offer to pay the fine right “on the spot”. If a driver is sure that he did not break any rules, it is necessary to insist that the payment is to be made through the bank. There is a chance that in this case the policeman will either reduce the amount of the fine or let the driver go, making only a warning.
In no case should policemen be treated in a rude manner. Do not threaten the police or raise your voice. As confirmed by experienced motorists, in Mexico a friendly chat and a kind smile are the main guarantee of successful communication with the law.
Driving in a drunken state is a serious violation. The maximum permissible level of alcohol in blood is 0.8 ppm. The violation of this rule will result in a large fine and suspension of the driving license. The refusal to take the breath test will result in the same punishment.
