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

There are speed limits on all kinds of roads. On the territory of some cities drivers are likely to see roads, on which it is simply impossible to move with the speed of more than 20 km/h. On toll roads the speed limit is usually 110 km/h. Local residents are not distinguished by diligent following speed limits, so speeding remains one of the most common violations in Mexico.
Police officers are on duty on many roads, so drivers can be fined even for a minor speeding. In general, the attitude of local police to foreign visitors is quite soft and loyal. It is likely that the first violation of traffic regulations will not result in a fine, and a driver will be simply warned.
Mexico City remains the leader in terms of heavy traffic jams. In capital, it is recommended to use cars only in case of emergency. There are approximately 8 million vehicles in Mexico, so driving at a high speed is simply impossible on local streets.
