The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Switzerland are: BMW 3 series Cabriolet, Peugeot 206 Cabriolet, Renault Megane Cabriolet, Audi A3 Convertible, Audi A4 Convertible and BMW Z4 Roadster.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Crans-Montana 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 Switzerland is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Crans-Montana 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 Crans-Montana, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Several special rules must be remembered in respect of driving through tunnels. If there is a traffic jam in a tunnel, it is prohibited to stand motionless with the engine running. If special services staff asks you to leave the tunnel quickly, you need to obey their order immediately. The keys should be left inside the car, and you should leave the tunnel through the emergency exit.
In the territory of settlements, the maximum allowed speed (if there are no other signs) is 50 km/h. Outside the settlements, the maximum permitted speed is 80 km/h. In addition to the standard set of documents (the driving license, the vehicle certificate and the insurance), foreign drivers should always carry a passport. The absence of any of these documents is considered a serious violation.
