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

Help on the rental process
In some cities, public transport routes can be arranged in quite a strange way, so you shouldn’t be surprised if the tram lines are located in the center of the road. In order to unload passengers, the tram is forced to stay right in the middle of the road. According to the current regulations, all cars moving after it also have to stop.
Drivers must always carry the driving license, the vehicle certificate, and the insurance. These documents must be shown to the police at first request. Police checks happen quite frequently, and absolutely every car can be stopped. If a police officer offers to take the blood alcohol content test, you certainly cannot refuse. If you do, you will be brought to the police station.
According to the recently adopted law, the maximum allowed blood alcohol content for drivers is 0.0 ppm. In other words, motorists are not allowed to drink alcohol at all. The violation of this rule will certainly lead to a severe punishment – in addition to a large fine your driving license will be suspended for 1.5 - 2 years.
