Orlando Convertible Rentals: Open-Air Driving
Rent a convertible in Orlando and cruise Central Florida with the top down—our fleet of 5 convertibles, including the Ford Mustang and Mazda MX-5 Miata, starts at $85 per day before tax. We deliver your rental car free to anywhere in Greater Orlando, Orlando International Airport (MCO), or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), with no rental counter to vis.
Five Convertible Rental in Orlando Models Compared
Picking the right convertible for Orlando comes down to one question: how many seats do you actually need, and how much power do you want under the throttle. Our fleet holds five open-top models, each with its own character — from the nimble two-seater to the 480-horsepower V-8 — and all of them are delivered free to Orlando International Airport (MCO), Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), or anywhere else in Greater Orlando.
The Two-Seat Choice: Mazda MX-5 Miata RF
The Mazda MX-5 Miata RF is our only two-seat convertible, and it is the lightest, most playful car in the lineup. Its 2.0-liter engine makes 181 horsepower, which sounds modest on paper but feels eager in a car this size — the Miata is about cornering and connection, not straight-line bragging. At $90 per day before tax, it is also the most affordable way to feel the wind on International Drive. This car suits couples who want a pure driving experience and do not need to carry passengers.
The Four-Seat Convertibles: Mustang, Camaro, and BMW
Ford Mustang Convertible: four seats, 2.3-liter turbocharged engine with 315 horsepower, $85 per day before tax — the most budget-friendly open-top in our fleet.
Chevrolet Camaro Convertible: four seats, 2.0-liter engine with 275 horsepower, $90 per day before tax — a bold, aggressive design that stands out on the road.
Ford Mustang GT Convertible: four seats, 5.0-liter V-8 with 480 horsepower, $110 per day before tax — the full muscle-car experience, with a soundtrack that carries across the lakes of Winter Park and down the open stretches of SR 528 toward Port Canaveral.
BMW 4 Series Convertible: four seats, 2.0-liter engine with 255 horsepower, $120 per day before tax — the premium pick, well suited for longer trips to Tampa or St. Augustine.
Comparing the Five Models Side by Side
| Model | Seats | Engine | Horsepower | Price per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Convertible | 4 | 2.3 L | 315 hp | $85 |
| Mazda MX-5 Miata RF | 2 | 2.0 L | 181 hp | $90 |
| Chevrolet Camaro Convertible | 4 | 2.0 L | 275 hp | $90 |
| Ford Mustang GT Convertible | 4 | 5.0 L | 480 hp | $110 |
| BMW 4 Series Convertible | 4 | 2.0 L | 255 hp | $120 |
All five run on gasoline with automatic transmissions and rear-wheel drive, so the character comes from the engine and the chassis, not the gearbox. Rates quoted are before tax — the 6.5% Orange County sales tax and the $2 per day Florida rental car surcharge are added when you pay. For a week, multiply the daily rate by six; for a month, by twenty-one. If your group is four adults with luggage, the two-door back seats in the Mustang, Camaro, and BMW 4 Series fold into a usable trunk opening — but the Miata's trunk is best suited for two soft bags, which is worth remembering before you book a week at a Kissimmee villa.
Daily, Weekly, Monthly Rates for Convertible Rentals in Orlando
Convertible rental in Orlando runs $85–$120 per day before tax across our five open-top models, with weekly rates from $510 and monthly from $1,785. That daily figure is the base before the 6.5% Orange County sales tax and the $2 per day Florida rental car surcharge (charged for the first 30 days) are added when you pay. The rate already includes state-minimum liability coverage, the Loss Damage Waiver, and unlimited mileage within Florida.
| Model | Seats | Engine / Horsepower | Price per day |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ford Mustang Convertible | 4 | 2.3 L / 315 hp | $85 |
| Mazda MX-5 Miata RF | 2 | 2.0 L / 181 hp | $90 |
| Chevrolet Camaro Convertible | 4 | 2.0 L / 275 hp | $90 |
| Ford Mustang GT Convertible | 4 | 5.0 L / 480 hp | $110 |
| BMW 4 Series Convertible | 4 | 2.0 L / 255 hp | $120 |
Weekly and monthly rates work out cheaper per day than the daily price — a week is billed as six times the daily rate, so the Mustang Convertible runs $510 for seven days, and a month is twenty-one times the daily rate, putting the same car at $1,785. The BMW 4 Series Convertible, our top open-top model, comes to $720 weekly and $2,520 monthly. When you book, we confirm which rate applies — daily, weekly, or monthly — and the county where the car is handed over sets the sales tax, so a delivery to Kissimmee in Osceola County carries 7.5% rather than Orange County's 6.5%.
What you are not paying for matters as much as the rate itself. In our fleet, every convertible comes with the Loss Damage Waiver and liability coverage included in the quoted price, and the car is delivered to your hotel or vacation rental anywhere in Greater Orlando, or to Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), free of charge — with no counter and no pickup fee as set out in the rental agreement. The car arrives clean with a full tank of gas and goes back the same way. The LDW deductible, the security hold amount on your bank card, and the young-driver fee for ages 21–24 are set out in the rental agreement, not hidden in the daily price. For a week-long trip, the $85-per-day Mustang Convertible at $510 undercuts what most visitors expect to pay for a drop-top at Orlando International Airport (MCO) — and any airport-related fees, if a hand-over on airport property requires them, are agreed when booking.
How Convertible Rental Delivery Works at MCO or SFB
Every convertible we rent is delivered to you — no rental counter, no office, and no shuttle to catch. We deliver the car to Orlando International Airport (MCO), Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), or anywhere in Greater Orlando at no charge, and the exact meeting point is agreed upon at the time of booking.
No Rental Counter — the Car Comes to You
- Free delivery: The car is delivered to MCO, SFB, or any address in Greater Orlando, with the pickup location.
- Meeting point: The exact pickup location at MCO or SFB is agreed upon at the time of booking.
- Clean and full: The convertible arrives freshly cleaned with a full tank of gas, and you return it the same way.
- Rental agreement: The rental agreement is signed in person at hand-over, as required by Florida law.
Delivering to MCO and SFB
Both airports are covered. At Orlando International Airport (MCO), terminals A and B sit in the north complex and terminal C to the south, about 20–25 minutes from International Drive. At Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), roughly 30 miles north in Seminole County, we meet you at the terminal. Tell us your flight number and arrival time when booking — the delivery time will be set out in the rental agreement.
What the Handover Looks Like
When we meet you, we check your physical driver's license and, for international visitors, your passport. We walk around the convertible with you, note any existing marks, and confirm the fuel level. The security hold is placed on a bank card in the main driver's name — the amount is set out in the rental agreement. The car has E-PASS and SunPass transponders for toll roads, and if you arrive and depart through Orlando International Airport (MCO), you can use the free CFX Visitor Toll Pass. Tolls are re-invoiced as recorded, per the terms set out in the rental agreement.
Documents and Requirements for Your Orlando Convertible Rental
The paperwork for a convertible rental here is straightforward: a physical driver's license from your home country, a passport for international visitors, and a bank card in the main driver's name for the security hold. Florida law does not require an International Driving Permit, so you can book a Mustang or a Miata with the same license you use at home.
Here is what we ask for when you book a convertible with Rent-Trip:
- Driver's license: a valid physical license from your home country is enough to drive in Florida. An International Driving Permit is not required by Florida law (HB 7059, 2013); if your license is not in English, an IDP or a certified translation is recommended as a translation for police and insurers — nothing more.
- Passport: international visitors show it alongside the license. Florida law (FS 322.38) requires us to inspect the physical card and witness your signature, so digital licenses on a phone are not accepted.
- Bank card: a card in the main driver's name is used for the security hold at the start of the rental; the amount is set out in the rental agreement.
- Minimum age: drivers must be 21. Drivers aged 21–24 pay a young-driver fee whose amount is stated in the agreement; some premium classes may require 25+.
We deliver the car to Orlando International Airport (MCO), Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), or anywhere in Greater Orlando, and the rental agreement terms are as set out in the rental agreement, with the physical driver's license inspected and the signature witnessed as required by Florida law. That means you can handle the documents from your hotel lobby or the terminal and be on the road in minutes. One practical note: since the license must be the physical card, make sure you have it with you when the car is delivered — the inspection and signature are done at hand-over.
Roads, Tolls, and Rules for Your Convertible Rental in Orlando
Traffic in Florida keeps to the right, and every convertible in our fleet is a left-hand-drive US-spec car, so if you are used to driving on the left at home, give yourself the first hour to adjust. The roads here are flat and straight, and the speed limits are clearly posted.
The free roads you will use most are the general lanes of I-4, US-192 through Kissimmee, SR 50, and John Young Parkway. The toll roads are SR 528 Beachline (the fastest way from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to International Drive and to Port Canaveral), SR 417, SR 408, and Florida's Turnpike. Every car we deliver is set up for electronic tolling with E-PASS or SunPass, so you can drive straight through the toll gantries and the tolls are re-invoiced as recorded on the terms in your agreement. If you arrive and depart through MCO, pick up a free Visitor Toll Pass at the terminal — it uses transponder rates and saves you the double rate that Pay-By-Plate cameras charge.
- Speed limits: 70 mph on interstates and the Turnpike, 65 mph on other four-lane highways, 30 mph in residential areas — school zones drop to 15–20 mph with cameras.
- Right turn on red: allowed after a full stop unless a sign prohibits it, which keeps city driving quicker than in most countries.
- Seat belts: required for everyone in front and everyone under 18; children under 6 must ride in a car seat or booster.
- Hands-free: no texting while driving, and hands-free only in school and work zones — the fine for a camera ticket in a school zone is $100.
Our practical advice for a drop-top in Orlando: the roof comes down most comfortably in the dry season from December through February, when daytime temperatures sit around 70°F. In summer, the afternoon thunderstorm arrives almost daily between 2:00 and 6:00 PM — if the wipers go on, your headlights must go on too.
Enjoy the Sunshine With a Convertible Rental in Orlando
Central Florida's flat, lake-dotted landscape opens up fast once you leave the city limits, and a convertible turns the drive itself into the destination. The paved routes below are all reachable on a full tank, with unlimited mileage within Florida included in every rental from Rent-Trip. Since the car is delivered to you anywhere in Greater Orlando or to Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), you can start a road trip the same day you land.
The Space Coast launch sites and Cocoa Beach — 45–52 Miles via SR 528
Head east on the SR 528 Beachline toll road and you will reach the Atlantic coast in about an hour. The route runs past the NASA complex, then ends at Cocoa Beach, where the top comes down to ocean air — something Orlando itself, 50 miles inland, never offers. The Beachline is fully electronic, so the E-PASS transponder in our cars handles the toll automatically; expect roughly $3–4 from MCO to Port Canaveral. Timing: go early on a weekday to avoid cruise-port traffic and get a parking spot near the beach access. Fuel: fill up before the return leg — stations thin out closer to the cape.
Daytona Beach — 55 Miles via I-4 and I-95
Daytona gives you the rare chance to drive on firm-packed sand, though the rental agreement keeps our convertibles on paved roads only. The beachfront A1A highway is the better bet for top-down cruising, with the Atlantic on your left and the Boardwalk ahead. Take I-4 east to I-95 north — about an hour with light traffic. Unlike the SR 528 route, I-4 and I-95 general lanes are free, so this trip carries no toll cost at all. Parking: the beachside lots are paid, about $35 per day in peak season. Top tip: the wind at highway speed gets loud above 60 mph — drop the windows slightly to cut buffeting.
Tampa — 85 Miles via I-4
The longest of the three classic convertible runs from our fleet, Tampa sits about 1.5 hours west on I-4. The interstate is free in its general lanes, and the flat terrain means you can hold a steady top-down pace the whole way. Tampa's waterfront and the short hop to Clearwater Beach or St. Pete make a solid day loop. Timing: westbound traffic builds from 3:00 PM on weekdays — leave by mid-morning. Weather: summer thunderstorms roll in almost daily between 2:00 and 6:00 PM, so check the radar before committing to an open-top return.
Convertible Rental in Orlando with a Private Driver
If you want the open-top experience without driving yourself, Rent-Trip offers a chauffeured convertible by the hour — from 4 hours, for trips, transfers to Orlando International Airport (MCO) or Orlando Sanford Airport (SFB), and excursions. The driver handles the road so you can take in the scenery, and the hourly rate is quoted when you book. It works the same way as our self-drive option: the car comes to you anywhere in Greater Orlando, clean and with a full tank.
- When it fits: transfers to MCO or SFB, a day at the Space Coast launch sites and Cocoa Beach, or a sunset run to Daytona Beach — you ride, someone else watches the traffic.
- How to book: Send a request on WhatsApp or call; the driver's hourly rate and the exact meeting point are set out in the rental agreement.
- What you get: the same Ford Mustang Convertible, BMW 4 Series Convertible, Mazda MX-5 Miata RF, Chevrolet Camaro Convertible or Ford Mustang GT Convertible from our fleet.
This option suits visitors who land at MCO or SFB after a long flight and want to reach their hotel on International Drive or in Kissimmee without navigating SR 528 or SR 417 right away. It also works for a group that wants to stay together. The car is still set up for electronic tolling with E-PASS or SunPass, and tolls are re-invoiced as recorded.
For a self-drive trip, the same convertibles are available from $85–$120 per day before tax, with free delivery to your hotel or vacation home across Greater Orlando. The driver option simply adds flexibility: you can arrange both on one stay — the terms are agreed when booking.
