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

A huge number of free parking spaces is another important feature of Russian roads. They can be found literally everywhere - close to shopping and entertainment centers, tourist attractions, and business centers. Parking lots are also equipped along some streets.
In spite of the fact that it is not difficult to find a free parking space, many local people do not bother to make a long search and leave their cars right on the road surface. Sometimes, the number of cars parked on the road is so big that almost the whole right lane is blocked. Of course, that often becomes the reason for traffic jams.
It is forbidden to park the car closer than 5 meters to intersections and pedestrian crossings, and closer than 15 meters to public transport stops. The latter are often marked with a zigzag line of yellow color. It will be really hard not to notice the public transport stop.
