The short answer
Where to start
Choose the convertible for your passenger and luggage needs first; treat roof-down time as a benefit when conditions suit, not a requirement for enjoying the car.

Begin after the airport bags are settled
If you are traveling with more than light luggage, discuss hotel delivery after check-in. Roof mechanisms and usable luggage space vary between cars. Ask about your actual bags and the space available with the roof in each position instead of transferring assumptions from a different convertible.

Give Saturday a flexible shape
Plan a few stops and leave space to enjoy the car between them. A covered parking option and a roof-up alternative keep the day useful if conditions change. Learn the roof controls during the handover, including the conditions under which operation is permitted. Never experiment with unfamiliar controls while moving.

Make Sunday uncomplicated
Confirm the return location and timing before committing to a late meal or departure. A weekend quote should state how the rental period is calculated, not simply label the booking Friday to Sunday. Mention your onward travel when asking about delivery and collection so the final window leaves a sensible margin.
