Modern convertible cars feature either soft-top fabric roofs or hard-top metal panels that retract automatically with the push of a button. Soft-top convertibles typically fold into a rear compartment, while hard-top models store their panels in the trunk area. Most rental cars require the car to be stationary or moving at very low speeds during roof operation for safety reasons.

Always secure loose items before putting the top down, as wind can easily blow objects out of your convertible car. Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen regularly since convertible driving increases sun exposure significantly. Keep hair tied back and avoid wearing loose clothing that might obstruct your vision while enjoying your San Diego convertible car rental experience.
