A Convertible isn't just for Christmas....or Summer....

You can enjoy them almost any time of year in New Zealand, with most having heated front seats and wind deflectors, well insulated, simple and quick to operate roofs, and very effective heaters and / or aircon.

For all sorts of reasons, convertibles really are the rental car for all seasons.

The weather in Nelson Tasman at the Top of the South Island of New Zealand is pretty darn sunny the vast majority of the year - check out those temperatures above.

Not too hot in Summer, (mainly) plain delightful clear blue skies in Autumn and Spring, and even crisp and bright for fair bit of Winter.

Just to prove it, here's LIVE webcam footage overlooking the magnificent Motueka channel in Tasman and the marina in gorgeous Golden Bay.

Why hire a Convertible?   Why not?!

You get the best of both worlds that you can switch between at your whim in seconds.

Roof down you get a sensational immersive experience for all the senses.

And they're still fantastic sports or luxury cruising cars roof up.

Surely such a multi-faceted, rarely available experience is worth the premium over an ordinary rental car....?

Reticent partner still not sure?
