The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in Australia are: Renault Megane Cabriolet, Audi A5 Cabriolet and Ford Mustang Convertible.
At the booking time, please check the rental conditions carefully. Quite often, rental offices in Canberra 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 Australia is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Canberra 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 Canberra, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

If you had driven to a toll road accidently, you should leave it as soon as possible. Such an action will certainly be considered a violation, however, the fine for it will be relatively small (a few minutes of driving will cost you approximately 10 - 15 dollars instead of 77 – the fine for driving on the entire toll road section without paying).
If there is no urgent need to go to the center of the city by car, it is better to use public transport. This way you will save not only money (parking in the center is always quite expensive), but also your time that you would certainly have wasted searching for a free parking space.
Drivers, who plan to use car parking areas equipped with ticket machines, should get enough coins in small denominations in advance - ticket machines do not give change. It is also worth considering that the maximum parking time in many parking areas is limited, so it is important to keep track of time.
