The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Portugal are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet, Audi A3 Convertible, Audi A4 Convertible and BMW Z4 Roadster.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Cascais 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 Portugal is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Cascais 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 Cascais, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

If there is a motorcyclist near you on a highway, then you can expect him to do virtually any maneuver. He can overtake a car on the right side or continue moving at high speed despite the red traffic signal – drivers should always be ready to such maneuvers.
Even 25 years ago, the quality of roads in Portugal horrified even most experienced drivers. Only roads that were laid in the central parts of settlements were more or less satisfactory. Large-scale road building in the country started in 2004. Currently, all the settlements in the country are connected by a system of high-quality and comfortable roads perfect for long distance rides.
Despite the fact that it is prohibited to use sound signals in settlements without a special need, drivers are used to pressing the honk without any particular need. This “sound” while driving is a vibrant national feature of local drivers, and it is as widespread as active gestures while speaking.
