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

Fixed-run taxis have become a serious danger to drivers in many cities of the country. In Russia, they are the main type of public transport. These vehicles are more dangerous than large buses and trucks, although the latter are also dangerous. According to statistics, fixed-run taxis violate the speed limit and make illegal maneuvers more often than other road users.
Every year, the number of two-wheeled vehicles increases on Russian roads. Miniature scooters and bicycles can be seen even on the busiest roads in big cities. You will also see motorcyclists from time to time, but they can be classified as most frequent traffic regulations violators.
