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

Help on the rental process
Foreign guests should drive confidently and calmly, and so not follow the example of local drivers who exceed speed and make other traffic violations. The behavior of local drivers should not be interpreted as aggression. If they honk persistently and ask you to increase speed, you simply need to give way to the drivers and continue driving in accordance with the speed limit.
It is worth noting that Portuguese drivers are somewhat stubborn. Even if they do not have the right to make a certain maneuver (for example, to overtake), they will still not give way to other cars until they make it. If a driver is moving at low speed, other cars can pursue him for more than one kilometer, honking constantly, until the driver doesn’t move to the right lane, so other cars can overtake him.
For Portugal residents, car is the main means of transportation. They use cars not only to go to work and on business, but also to make a family holiday or to visit relatives.
