What to check before you book a convertible
- Boot space drops sharply when the roof is folded, so check the figure for open and closed.
- Sun, heat and theft risk mean you should never leave luggage visible when parked.
- Convertibles are usually the most expensive category per day, and the excess is often higher too.
Where we recommend it
- Spain, summer: On the Costa del Sol, Mallorca and the Mediterranean coast, an open top suits summer evenings and coast roads.
- United Arab Emirates, winter: From November to March the weather is pleasant, and a convertible on the coast road is a popular treat.
- United States, summer: Coastal California and Florida are ideal convertible country in the right months.
