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

Help on the rental process
The issue of seat adjustment is also solved in a very interesting manner in the country. Local drivers often push the seat all the way back, recline the backrest, and then sit down in a comfortable position. While driving, local motorists often hold the steering wheel with one hand only.
Foreign guests may consider the behavior of local motorists rather careless, but locals really follow mostly unwritten rules rather than established traffic regulations. For example, if there is a car standing on the side of a deserted road, local drivers will surely stop and ask whether someone needs their help.
For many local people the private car remains the main mode of transport. It is safe to say that every local driver feels like a king on the road. This is true for both owners of luxury cars and happy owners of old cars. This self-confidence and egoism often become the main reason for accidents.
