The most widespread cabriolet models offered for rent in New Zealand 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 Auckland 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 New Zealand is quite high.
Make sure to inspect the rental invoice issued at the office in Auckland 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 Auckland, it is recommended to unfold the roof and close windows in order to prevent theft or robbery.

Help on the rental process
Left driving is, without a doubt, the most important distinguishing feature of New Zealand's roads. Therefore, foreign drivers may find it quite unusual to drive in the country. However, there are not so many cars on the roads of New Zealand, so it usually takes short time to adapt to the new rules.
Several simple hints can help psychologically adjust to the new traffic conditions within a couple of days. First of all, you should remember that the driver’s right hand should be approximately at the center of the road, and the rear-view mirror is on the left. Cars that move on the right have the advantage on local roads.
The quality of roads in New Zealand remains at a high level, and numerous informational boards will make the ride even more pleasant. Only in remote parts of the country it is possible to see low quality roads, but there are only a few of them.
