Every rate is a from-price, inc VAT. “We can source” cars are confirmed with our partner before anything is agreed.

All prices are "from" prices. What you are quoted can move with availability, which supplier the car comes from, its age and exact specification, and how long you take it for. What binds is your written quote.

Images are representative studio renderings of the model, not photographs of the individual vehicle.

What you are hiring

Convertible hire covers everything with a folding roof, from compact roadsters to full four-seat cabriolets and open-topped supercars. Most modern roofs open and close in under twenty seconds and will operate on the move at low speed. The trade-offs are boot space with the roof stowed, and security when the car is parked.

Nothing photographs like a convertible and nothing else makes a summer weekend feel longer. This is the category that dominates weddings, proms, coast drives and any hire where the car is going to be looked at as much as driven. It is also the category where the British forecast has the loudest vote, so the practical detail below matters more here than anywhere else.

What does convertible leasing cost?

The spread across the cars on this page that carry a confirmed figure, inclusive of VAT, on a twelve-month minimum term with two months up front. Cars we source for you are priced once we have them.

Length Lowest, from Highest, from Cars quoted
Per month 12-month minimum term £5,500 £5,500 1 of 9

Beyond a week, hires are quoted case by case, and periods of a month or more are arranged with limited companies rather than booked from the site. Deposit, insurance excess, mileage allowance and the excess-mileage rate are stated on every car’s own page, before any form.

Does a convertible make sense in the British weather?

With the roof up, a modern convertible is a normal car: fully weatherproof, properly insulated, and quieter than the folklore suggests. With the roof down and the heated seats on, the usable season in this country runs far wider than people expect — a cold, dry March morning with the heater up is one of the better ways to drive. Rain is an inconvenience of about eighteen seconds, not a ruined day.

Can the roof be operated while driving?

On most modern cars, yes, at low speed — manufacturers typically permit roof operation while moving at up to around 30mph, which means a set of traffic lights is enough. The exact limit is set by the car and is in its handbook; we cover it at handover. What no car allows is operating the roof at speed, or leaving it part-way through its cycle.

What do you actually give up with a folding roof?

Three things, all worth knowing before you book. Boot space shrinks, sometimes dramatically, when the roof is stowed — often by a third or more. Rear seats, where they exist, are usually tighter than in the coupe. And a fabric roof is a security consideration: park it roof-up with nothing visible inside, and use secure parking overnight wherever you can. None of these matter for a wedding; all of them matter for a week away.

How does convertible pricing compare with the coupe?

In peak summer the open version usually carries a modest premium over the equivalent coupe, simply because demand concentrates on the same weekends. Out of season the gap narrows or disappears. Monthly figures are shown inclusive of VAT on each car's page, on a twelve-month minimum term and the deposit, excess and mileage allowance stated with them.

The driver criteria, the refundable deposit and the insurance excess differ car by car — see driver requirements for what is checked and how delivery works.

If this is not quite the car

Sports cars

A sports car hire covers the two-seat and 2+2 cars built around handling rather than outright speed — typically 300 to 550bhp, front or mid-engined, and narrow enough to enjoy on a British B-road.

Grand tourers

A grand tourer is a front-engined, two-door car built to cross a country quickly and comfortably: big engine, long gearing, a boot that takes two people's luggage, and usually a pair of occasional rear seats.

Supercars

Supercar hire means a mid-engined, two-seat car of roughly 550 to 800bhp that reaches 62mph in under three and a half seconds.

Convertible hire — common questions

Is it noisy at motorway speed with the roof down?

Above about 60mph, conversation gets hard work in a roadster and stays possible in a bigger four-seat cabriolet with the windows up and the wind deflector fitted. For a long motorway leg most people put the roof up and drop it again when the good road starts.

Which convertible suits a wedding?

A four-seat cabriolet or a grand tourer with a folding roof — upright doors, a proper sill height and room for a gown make far more difference than badge or power. Ribbons, confetti and photography detail are all covered on the wedding page.

Where should I park it overnight?

Somewhere secure and, ideally, under cover — a hotel car park, a private garage or a gated drive. Roof up, nothing left visible inside, and the car locked even on a private drive. This is the one category where overnight parking is worth planning before the hire rather than during it.

How much luggage fits with the roof down?

Less than you think, and it varies enormously by car. Check the roof-down boot figure on the vehicle page rather than the roof-up one, and pack soft bags — the difference between the two figures is frequently the difference between fitting and not.
