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

Help on the rental process
It should be noted that all kinds of mopeds and motorbikes are incredibly popular in Thailand, so the number of scooters on the road exceeds the number of cars. While driving, car drivers should often look around, because there are many traffic accidents when scooter drivers get in the "blind zone" of car drivers.
The amount of fines on the islands is significantly different from the fines issued to drivers in the capital. For example, on the island of Phuket the maximum fine is approximately US$30, so local drivers are not worried about such a trifle as following the traffic regulations.
In Bangkok, the road fines are much higher, and driving under the influence of alcohol is considered the most serious traffic violation. The maximum allowed blood alcohol content is 0.5 ppm. In addition to a large fine, the offender is likely to spend two days in jail. His/her driving license will be also suspended.
