The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in USA are: Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Ford Mustang Convertible and VW Eos Convertible.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Austin 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 USA is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Austin 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 Austin, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

The territory of each state has the specified speed limit. It is very simple to find it out - just pay attention to the signs installed along the roads. While driving through a residential area, the speed limit is usually 25-30 mph, and the «freeway» limit is 65-70 mph.
Outside the territory of large cities, highways are usually divided into three types - Federal or Interstate Routes (they cross several states), American or US Highways, and State Highways (are located in a certain state only). This division is not formal; as a rule, the higher the status of a highway is, the better its quality is.
As a rule, moving directions are divided on federal highways, and each freeway has at least two lanes. Drivers should not move to the side to prevent a violation – road borders have special notches, because of which wheels make a very loud and obnoxious screeching sound.
