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

Help on the rental process
The country is known by a very strict approach to the use of alcoholic beverages, so in Saudi Arabia drivers should completely stop consuming them. Driving while intoxicated is one of the few violations that have not only a fine as a punishment, but also corporal punishment and imprisonment.
If you have committed a serious violation, you get not only a fine receipt, but also penalty points. The critical threshold is 20 points. If within one year the driver gets 20 penalty points, his driving license will be automatically suspended or cancelled. For the first time the driving license is suspended for three months, for the second – for six months, for the third time – for one year, and, finally, for the fourth time the license is completely cancelled.
Driving without a license will result in a fine that ranges from US$240 to US$1,920, and you may also be imprisoned for a period from 1 to 4 weeks.
