Convertibles car rental in USA with 5 models from $85 a day
Convertibles with Rent-Trip come down to five cars, two seats or four, and a price band of $85 to $120 a day. This first section lays out the fleet model by model, so you can pick the car before you pick the route.
Five convertibles and what separates them
| Model | Seats | Engine | Power | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Convertible | 4 | 2.3 L | 315 hp | $85 |
| Chevrolet Camaro Convertible | 4 | 2.0 L | 275 hp | $90 |
| Mazda MX-5 Miata RF | 2 | 2.0 L | 181 hp | $90 |
| Ford Mustang GT Convertible | 4 | 5.0 L | 480 hp | $110 |
| BMW 4 Series Convertible | 4 | 2.0 L | 255 hp | $120 |
Every car in this class is a gasoline automatic with rear-wheel drive, so the choice is really about seats, engine size and how much power you want under your right foot.
Two seats or four
The Mazda MX-5 Miata RF seats two; the other four cars in our fleet seat four. The Miata is the lightest here at 181 hp and the only two-seater, which makes it the natural pick for a couple travelling with soft bags and no back-seat passengers. The four-seaters — Mustang, Camaro, Mustang GT and BMW 4 Series — carry two adults up front and two more behind, though rear legroom with the roof down is a compromise by design. Our advice from hand-overs: if you plan to drop the top for most of the trip, pack soft holdalls rather than hard cases, because luggage space shrinks once the roof folds into the deck.
Mustang or Camaro, Mustang or Mustang GT
The Ford Mustang Convertible is $85 a day, the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible $90, and the Ford Mustang GT Convertible $110. The first two sit close on paper — 315 hp against 275 hp, both 2.0–2.3 L four-cylinder turbos, both four seats — so the decision usually comes down to which shape you prefer. The GT is a different animal: a 5.0 L V8 with 480 hp, the largest engine in the class and $25 a day above the base Mustang. That engine changes how often you stop for fuel on a long loop, not which roads you can take. In our experience, most guests who book the GT already know they want the V8 sound; everyone else is happy with the $85 car.
The BMW at the top of the range
The BMW 4 Series Convertible is the most expensive car in this class at $120 a day and the only one with a premium badge. It pairs a 2.0 L engine with 255 hp, four seats and the same rear-wheel automatic layout as the rest of the fleet. What you pay for is the cabin finish and the quieter roof-up drive — useful if part of your trip is highway miles rather than back roads. If the budget is firm, the Mustang at $85 does the same job of getting the roof down; if you want the badge and the refinement, the BMW is the top of our convertible line.
Which convertible car rental in USA fits your trip
Five models, and the difference between them comes down to seats, engine and what you plan to carry. Here is what our fleet actually holds.
Five convertibles and what separates them
| Model | Seats | Engine | Power | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chevrolet Camaro Convertible | 4 | 2.0 L | 275 hp | $90 |
Two seats or four
That single line decides most bookings. A couple touring the Space Coast needs nothing more than the Miata at $90 a day — it is the lightest car in the group and the easiest to park. Families and two couples travelling together run into trouble here, because the MX-5 has no rear bench at all.
Rent-Trip keeps four-seaters across the whole range, so a group of four can still travel roofless. Luggage space shrinks the moment the roof folds, and on the four-seaters the boot loses height rather than floor area. Pack soft bags, not hard cases, and check the boot before you commit to a model for a two-week loop.
Mustang or Camaro, Mustang or Mustang GT
The Mustang Convertible is $85, the Camaro $90, the Mustang GT $110. The first two sit close enough in price and power that the choice is mostly about the cabin you prefer sitting in — 315 hp against 275 hp, both 2.3 L and 2.0 L four-cylinders, both rear-wheel drive.
In our experience the GT gets booked for one specific reason — a coastal run or a milestone trip — and the standard Mustang covers everything else. The GT's 5.0 L engine changes fuel stops, not the route. If you are weighing the Camaro against the Mustang GT, the $20 daily gap buys you 205 hp; the BMW 4 Series at $120 sits above both on trim and ride comfort rather than outright power.
Five convertibles for rent in USA and what separates them
Five open-top cars sit in our fleet, and the gap between them comes down to seats, engine size and output rather than badge. Rent-Trip keeps the whole class between $85 and $120 a day, so what you pick depends on the trip you have planned, not on the budget.
| Model | Seats | Engine | Power | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Convertible | 4 | 2.3 L | 315 hp | $85 |
| Chevrolet Camaro Convertible | 4 | 2.0 L | 275 hp | $90 |
The Mazda MX-5 Miata RF is the only two-seater here; the other four carry four people. That single number decides more trips than any engine figure. A couple touring the Gulf coast wants the Miata's light 181 hp and its small footprint, while two couples travelling together need the four seats of a Mustang or a Camaro. On the two-seater the boot shrinks once the roof folds, so pack soft bags rather than hard cases — in our experience that is the one detail that catches out first-time convertible hirers.
Between the three Mustang-and-Camaro options, the numbers run close: the Ford Mustang Convertible at $85, the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible at $90, and the Ford Mustang GT Convertible at $110. The first two differ mainly in feel — 315 hp against 275 hp from a 2.3 L and a 2.0 L engine, both automatic and rear-wheel drive. The GT is a different proposition altogether, a 5.0 L unit pushing 480 hp.
The BMW 4 Series Convertible sits at the top of the class at $120 a day, with a 2.0 L engine and 255 hp. For a first convertible trip, the $85 Mustang gives you four seats and the most power per dollar; the GT and the BMW are for drivers who already know they want the extra.
Two seats or four in your USA convertible rental
The Mazda MX-5 Miata RF seats two; the other four convertibles in the Rent-Trip fleet seat four. That single number decides more about your trip than engine size or badge: a two-seater is a car for two people and two soft bags, while a four-seat convertible carries a family or two couples with luggage for a week. Choose the seat count first, then the model.
Seat count also sets the roof mechanism and the boot you keep once the top is down. The MX-5 Miata RF is a two-seat roadster with a folding hardtop that tucks away without eating the rear deck, so a weekend bag fits behind the seats. The Ford Mustang Convertible, Chevrolet Camaro Convertible, Ford Mustang GT Convertible and BMW 4 Series Convertible all seat four with a soft top, and folding it costs you part of the trunk — pack soft holdalls rather than hard cases, and the roof will still close with the bags in place.
Both layouts run on gasoline with an automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive, which is what makes an American convertible feel the way it does on a straight Florida highway. The MX-5 Miata RF is the lightest of the five at 2.0 L and 181 hp, so it is the easiest to park and the cheapest to run at $90 a day. The four-seaters climb from there: 315 hp in the Mustang Convertible at $85, 275 hp in the Camaro at $90, 255 hp in the BMW 4 Series at $120, and 480 hp in the Mustang GT at $110.
- Two travellers, carry-on only: the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF from $90 a day, two seats and a folding hardtop.
- Four adults, no luggage: any four-seat model works, because the rear bench is the only space you need.
- Four adults plus bags: take a four-seater and pack soft bags, since the folded roof takes a share of the trunk.
- Mixed group of three: a four-seat convertible leaves one seat for bags you would rather not leave in the open.
If your group is two and your route is short, the two-seat MX-5 Miata RF is the honest answer — but if there is any chance of a third passenger, book four seats and keep the option. The rest of the choice comes down to engine, and that is where the Mustang, Camaro and BMW split.
Mustang or Camaro options for Convertibles car rental in USA
Three of our five convertibles are American muscle cars, and the choice between them comes down to two things: how much power you want and how much you want to pay for it. The Ford Mustang Convertible, the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible and the Ford Mustang GT Convertible all seat four, all run on gasoline, all have an automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive, and all come with the roof down at the push of a button.
| Model | Engine | Power | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Convertible | 2.3 L | 315 hp | $85 |
| Chevrolet Camaro Convertible | 2.0 L | 275 hp | $90 |
| Ford Mustang GT Convertible | 5.0 L | 480 hp | $110 |
The Mustang Convertible is the cheapest car in the fleet at $85 a day, and its 2.3 L turbo engine puts out 315 hp — more than the Camaro's 2.0 L, which makes 275 hp at $90 a day. In practice the two drive much the same on Florida's flat, straight roads: both are four-seat drop-tops with enough boot space for two cabin bags once the roof is folded. The difference shows up in the details. The Camaro sits lower and feels tighter through the bends; the Mustang is easier to get in and out of and has a slightly more generous rear seat. If you are splitting the cost between two couples, either works.
The Mustang GT is a different animal. Its 5.0 L V8 makes 480 hp — more than the other two combined — and it is the only car on this page that sounds like a muscle car should. That engine also drinks noticeably more fuel than the 2.3 L and the 2.0 L, so a long loop out to the coast means more stops. At $110 a day it costs $25 more than the base Mustang, and that gap is the real question: if you want the noise and the pull, pay it.
- Ford Mustang Convertible: $85 a day, 2.3 L, 315 hp — the value pick of the three.
- Chevrolet Camaro Convertible: $90 a day, 2.0 L, 275 hp — the sharpest-handling of the trio.
- Ford Mustang GT Convertible: $110 a day, 5.0 L, 480 hp — the one to book for the engine alone.
Book the GT early if you want it. We keep one in the fleet, and in peak season the V8 goes first — the other four convertibles are easier to secure at short notice.
What convertibles car rental in USA costs
Rates depend on the model and how long you keep it. Our five convertibles run from $85 to $120 a day, with weekly and monthly rates that bring the daily figure down.
Daily, weekly and monthly rates
| Model | Per day | Per week | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Convertible | $85 | $510 | $1,785 |
| Chevrolet Camaro Convertible | $90 | $540 | $1,890 |
| Mazda MX-5 Miata RF | $90 | $540 | $1,890 |
| Ford Mustang GT Convertible | $110 | $660 | $2,310 |
| BMW 4 Series Convertible | $120 | $720 | $2,520 |
What the price includes and what is added
- State-minimum liability: required cover for injury and property damage to others, included in every rate.
- Loss Damage Waiver: a waiver, not insurance — it limits what you owe if the car is damaged, and the deductible and exclusions sit in the rental agreement.
- Sales tax: 6.5% in Orange County, 7.5% in Osceola, 7% in Seminole and Polk — charged by the county where you take the car.
- State surcharge: $2 a day for the first 30 days, added when you pay.
- Unlimited mileage: within the state, so a long loop to the coast costs the same as a short run around Greater Orlando.
- Young-driver fee: for drivers aged 21–24, with the amount set out in the rental agreement.
A week of open-top driving is charged at six times the daily rate and a month at twenty-one times, so the day rate falls the longer the booking. In our experience, travellers who plan a ten-day trip do better booking the full stretch at the weekly rate than extending day by day — the difference on the Mustang GT works out at two free days. Trips to other US states and rental with a driver are quoted separately when booking.
Daily, weekly and monthly convertible rental rates in USA
A single day behind the wheel of an open-top car starts at $85, a full week at $510 and a full month at $1,785. The longer the booking, the lower the effective day works out — that is the whole point of the weekly and monthly structure.
Rates by model
| Model | Per day | Per week | Per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Convertible | $85 | $510 | $1,785 |
| Chevrolet Camaro Convertible | $90 | $540 | $1,890 |
| BMW 4 Series Convertible | $120 | $720 | $2,520 |
How the weekly and monthly rate is built
The weekly figure is the daily figure multiplied by six, and the monthly one by twenty-one — not by seven and not by thirty. A week in the Mazda MX-5 Miata RF at $540 works out at $90 a day, the same as a single day; a month at $1,890 brings the effective day down to $90 as well, but the calendar gives you seven extra days you are not paying for. On a longer trip that gap is what decides the booking: the weekly structure spreads the same days across a lower total than paying day by day, and the monthly figure lowers the effective day further still. In our experience, travellers who plan a loop around Central Florida for ten days or more almost always land on the weekly figure once they see the two side by side.
What is added when you pay
- State rental car surcharge: $2 per day for the first 30 days, added on top of the rate.
- Included in the price: state-minimum liability coverage and a Loss Damage Waiver (LDW), so neither appears as a line on your final bill.
- Security hold: taken on a bank card in the main driver's name; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
Tax and the surcharge are added when you pay, not folded into the daily figure, which is why the rate you see here is not the final total. Longer bookings are also where the weekly and monthly structure does the most work — if your dates are fixed, ask the manager to price the whole period both ways before you commit.
What the USA convertible car rental price includes and what is added
State-minimum liability coverage and a Loss Damage Waiver are already in the rate you see. Tax is not. On a convertible booked through Rent-Trip, the figure we quote per day is the hire figure itself: coverage, the car, unlimited mileage across the state. The 6.5% sales tax and the $2-per-day rental car surcharge are added when you pay, and the sales-tax line moves with the county where the car is handed over — Orange County charges 6.5%, Osceola 7.5%, Seminole and Polk 7%. That difference is why the same week can land a few dollars apart depending on whether the keys change hands near International Drive or out toward Kissimmee.
- State-minimum liability: covers injury and property damage you cause to others, at the level the law requires every driver to carry.
- Loss Damage Waiver: a waiver, not insurance — it limits what you owe if the car is damaged or stolen, with the deductible and exclusions set out in the rental agreement.
- Unlimited mileage: drive to Key West and back or loop the state twice; the odometer does not change the bill.
- Full-to-full fuel: the car leaves clean with a full tank and comes back the same way, so you buy no fuel from us.
- Electronic tolling: the car is set up for E-PASS/SunPass, and tolls are re-invoiced as recorded on the terms in the agreement.
- Young-driver fee: applies to drivers aged 21–24, with the amount set out in the rental agreement.
- Security hold: taken on a bank card in the main driver's name, at an amount set out in the agreement.
Two things surprise people at the counter. The first is the surcharge: $2 a day sounds trivial until a three-week booking turns it into $42 on top of the weekly rate. If the budget matters, ask the manager which county your delivery address falls in before you confirm; the answer is a straight calculation, not a guess. Our weekly rate starts at $510, and that figure is the car itself, before tax and the surcharge are added.
