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

Help on the rental process
In the Philippines, you will often see large-scale events and promotions, aimed at making both drivers and pedestrians respect traffic regulations. Many events may seem very original for foreigners. For example, during one of the campaigns it was decided to use wet blankets to teach pedestrians to cross the street in the right place. There were many small trucks plying on the roads of the capital, and people in these trucks stroke all passengers who were crossing the road in the wrong place. Wet blankets served as the main "educational tool".
In spite of the fact that many of these “methods of education” may seem inhumane, local authorities have a strong argument to justify their use. Earlier, they tried to fine pedestrians who were breaking the rules; pedestrians were imprisoned, sent to social works, and were even forced to perform the national anthem publicly - none of these methods gave any positive results.
When traveling on local roads, motorists should pay increased attention to public transport. Bus drivers often think they have a prerogative, so they almost never give way to ordinary cars.
