5 stars all day. Rented the convertible Porsche for our Vegas trip and it was an absolute dream. The car was kept at the airport for us, so pickup was seamless — no waiting, no rental counter, just keys and go. Spotless, perfectly maintained, and a total head-turner with the top down on the Strip. Communication from the host was quick and professional from start to finish. We highly recommend this beautiful ride. Will rent again next trip!
**5 Stars** We had a great experience renting this 2020 Mustang convertible from Macondo. The car was clean, ready on time, and exactly what we were hoping for during our Myrtle Beach trip. It was a perfect day to have the top down and cruise around the area. Pickup and drop-off were simple, communication was clear, and the host was upfront about a minor backup camera issue, which did not affect our trip at all. Overall, the car was fun, sharp-looking, and made for a really memorable day on vacation. I would definitely rent from Macondo again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a fun ride in Myrtle Beach.

I will give a 5 star because the host was nice how ever the address that’s posted on the app for pick up and drop off are not where you will be picking up and dropping off. No clear instructions language barrier may have been the issue. I had to pick up the car at the airport parking structure which was a bit difficult specially if you’re not familiar wasn’t hard after I figure it out but price and everything else was fine. Would be nice to know where you are dropping off and picking up car ahead of reservation

Wow. Just wow. If you’re planning to rent a car while in Oahu, this Ford Mustang convertible is absolutely the way to do it. There’s nothing like dropping the top and cruising along the island coastlines with the Hawaiian sun and ocean views around you. It honestly became one of the highlights of our trip. The car itself was spotless, fun to drive, and perfect for exploring the island. But what really made the experience exceptional was Gabriel. From start to finish, he was incredibly responsive, professional, and accommodating. Pick-up and drop-off were seamless, and he went out of his way to make everything easy and stress-free for our family. If you’re considering renting a vehicle in Oahu, do yourself a favor and rent from Gabriel. You won’t regret it!

Frequently asked questions in Chapel Hill
Why choose a convertible for Chapel Hill adventures?
Chapel Hill's tree-lined streets and scenic countryside create the perfect backdrop for convertible car adventures. The open-air driving experience lets you fully appreciate North Carolina's mild climate and natural beauty, from campus tours around UNC to exploring the rolling hills beyond the city. A convertible car rental transforms ordinary drives into memorable experiences, whether you're cruising through downtown Chapel Hill or venturing into the surrounding Piedmont region.
How do you operate a convertible roof properly?
Most modern convertibles feature automated roof systems that operate with the push of a button, typically requiring the vehicle to be stationary or moving at very low speeds. Always ensure windows are slightly lowered before operating the roof mechanism to prevent pressure buildup. Check that the convertible is parked on level ground and that there are no overhead obstructions before lowering or raising the roof.
What safety tips matter when driving convertibles?
Always secure loose items before lowering the roof, as wind can easily carry objects from the vehicle. Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen, even on cloudy days, since convertible driving increases UV exposure significantly. Keep hair tied back and avoid wearing loose clothing that might obstruct your vision while driving through Chapel Hill's varied terrain.
Which scenic routes suit convertible road trips from Chapel Hill?
The winding roads through Jordan Lake State Recreation Area offer stunning water views perfect for convertible exploration. Highway 86 north provides beautiful countryside vistas as it meanders through rural North Carolina farmland and forests. The route along Old Chapel Hill Road showcases the area's historic charm, while drives through the nearby Eno River State Park reveal North Carolina's natural splendor ideal for open-air touring.
How should you pack for convertible travel?
Pack items in soft-sided bags that can be secured in the trunk or footwells to prevent wind displacement during your Chapel Hill adventures. Bring a light jacket or sweater for temperature changes, especially during evening drives when North Carolina temperatures can drop. Consider packing a hat and hair ties for all passengers, and keep essential items in zippered compartments to prevent loss during convertible drives.
What weather factors affect convertible driving?
North Carolina's sudden afternoon thunderstorms can quickly change driving conditions, so monitor weather forecasts before planning convertible excursions around Chapel Hill. Wind speeds above 25 mph can make open-top driving uncomfortable and affect vehicle handling on area roads. Temperature variations between sunny and shaded areas become more pronounced in a convertible, particularly when driving through Chapel Hill's tree-covered neighborhoods and open countryside.
