At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in New Orleans 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 New Orleans 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 New Orleans, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.
