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 Townsville 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 Townsville 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 Townsville, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

In addition to monetary penalties, special points are added for serious violations in Australia. When the number of points reaches the critical level, the driving license of the offender is canceled. So, a driver should not score more than 12 points during three years. Otherwise, he will be able to use his/her driving license only as a proof of identity.
Some types of violations can bring as many as 6 points at a time. For example, you will get that much if you exceed the speed for more than 45 km/h. If the speed has been exceeded for less than 15 km/h, such a violation will bring only 1 point.
It is allowed to perform overtaking and other maneuvers on the road only when turn signals are switched on. Many local drivers do not only use the turn signals, but also make gestures to show their intentions.
