The car was great and the host made the process very easy and was super friendly and helpful. Would happily use them again
MJ was a great host - communicative and helpful, the car was easy to find and collect. The car itself was great - includes extra gadgets to enable phone connection to the radio and a rear view camera on the mirror.
Fantastic. Easy, clean, economical, well maintained, host is lovely and helpful. A wonderful first experience with Turo!
Though a little old now, the Subaru Liberty was a pleasure to drive and very easy on fuel. The car was clean and ready to go when I picked it up. MJ was helpful and responsive, and even offered to drive me back home after drop-off. It's great to have a car rental in the inner south of Canberra!
Car was immaculately clean! Very easy pick up and great communication as always!
Loved driving this car around for a few days! Owners were super helping with teething issues with the lockbox. Car was clean and great to drive
Perfect car, clean, ran great, really luxurious, it’s the second time we have rented from noor and every time has been amazing!! Thankyou we will defiantly rent again
I rented MJ’s car for a weekend away and it was perfect—super comfy to drive, and in great condition. Pickup & drop off & communications were also super easy. 100% recommend!
Nice. We enjoyed a lot. Who else can say that they have rode a Lexus convertible. A car was a bit too small for me (near 2metres), with the roof down it was a bit too windy above 80km/h. But dont feel discouraged, the car is great and you will have a lot of fun. Driving wise - everything great
Pleasant to drive, spotlessly clean and as per previous trip fantastic communication from host.
from pickup to drop-off — was easy. Definitely recommend it and would rent again!
Great car, very fuel efficient. Clean and well kept. Very good communication too
Great, MJ went out of his way to meet us at a convenient location for us.
MJ was great and super accommodating! The car was clean and while being a bit dated in some ways it was super convenient and much easier than hiring a car.
Noor once again went above and beyond fir us thanks legend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😊
The car was really good very efficient and 4WD helps a lot to go snowy mountain

Top tips for renting a convertible in Braddon
Book your convertible car rental early on Turo to secure the best vehicle selection, especially during Canberra's peak spring and autumn seasons when weather conditions are ideal for open-top driving. Look for automatic transmission vehicles if you're unfamiliar with manual gearboxes, and consider extras like keyless entry and backup cameras for easier city parking. Choose a convertible with all-wheel drive if you plan exploring beyond the urban area, and check for pet-friendly options if travelling with animals to Canberra's many dog-welcome parks and outdoor spaces.

Frequently asked questions in Braddon
Why choose a convertible for exploring Braddon's outdoor attractions?
Convertible car hire in Braddon offers an unmatched way to experience the Australian Capital Territory's fresh air and scenic beauty while navigating between outdoor destinations. The open-top driving experience enhances visits to nearby parks and nature reserves, allowing you to fully appreciate the ACT's landscape and pleasant climate. A convertible car rental provides the perfect vehicle for discovering Braddon's surroundings with an added sense of freedom and connection to the outdoors.
How do you operate a convertible roof properly?
Most modern convertible cars feature electronic roof controls located near the handbrake or centre console, requiring the vehicle to be stationary before operation. Press and hold the roof button while ensuring no obstacles are above the car, and the automatic system will handle the folding process completely. Always check your convertible car hire manual for specific instructions, as some Toyota models and other manufacturers may have slightly different operating procedures.
What safety tips should convertible drivers follow in Australian Capital Territory?
Always secure loose items before lowering the roof, as wind can easily carry objects from the vehicle during travel through ACT's open roads. Wear sunscreen and protective eyewear when driving with the top down, particularly during Australia's intense UV conditions. Keep the roof closed during adverse weather and ensure all passengers understand how the automatic roof mechanism works before beginning your convertible car rental journey.
Which scenic routes from Braddon suit convertible road trips best?
The routes leading toward the Brindabella Ranges offer stunning mountain vistas perfect for open-top driving experiences from your hired convertible. Drives through the ACT's rural areas showcase rolling hills and native bushland that are best appreciated with the roof down. Consider exploring the paths around Lake Burley Griffin and nearby nature reserves, where a small convertible provides excellent manoeuvrability and panoramic viewing opportunities.
How should you pack efficiently for a convertible journey?
Pack items in soft bags rather than hard cases, as convertible cars typically have limited boot space and irregular storage areas when the roof mechanism is housed. Secure all belongings in closed compartments or use cargo nets to prevent items from being displaced by wind during your convertible car hire adventure. Bring extra layers and weather protection, as convertible driving conditions can change rapidly throughout your Australian Capital Territory exploration.
What weather factors affect convertible driving in ACT?
Strong winds common in the Australian Capital Territory can make convertible driving challenging, particularly for smaller automatic vehicles that may be more susceptible to crosswinds. Sudden temperature changes and afternoon storms typical of ACT weather require quick roof operation capabilities during your rental car experience. UV exposure is significantly higher in open convertibles, making sun protection essential during Australia's peak daylight hours when exploring Braddon and surrounding areas.
