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

Foreign drivers should note that it is simply not possible to drive fast on the roads of New Zealand – the majority of roads in the country have numerous turns and are laid on mostly hilly terrain. When you start a ride, you shouldn’t expect reaching your place of destination in the shortest time possible. It is simply impossible to do that on the roads of New Zealand.
The police are not frequent guests on the road. However, this does not mean that drivers can ignore the traffic regulations easily. If a car moving in the opposite direction “winks” with high beams, it means that the driver wants to warn others about the road patrol.
The road traffic is mostly controlled by means of cameras and radar, which are present on all the roads. If there is a violation, it will be surely noticed, and soon the driver will receive the receipt for the payment of the fine sent by mail. If the driver receives more than 20 traffic tickets a year, his driving license will be automatically cancelled.
