Top Tips for Renting a Convertible Car in Monterey
- Driving Monterey convertible car rentals is a breathtaking way to see this utterly charming coastal city on the Pacific shores of California. You can drive around in style among the town’s seafood restaurants, bars, boutiques, and gift shops, many of which are located in converted factories. You can soak in the sun and let the wind blow through your hair as you drive through the surrounding area, immortalized by John Steinbeck. Monterey convertible car rentals can add yet another fascinating dimension to your time in this quaint city rich in history and culture.
- For those interested in driving Monterey convertible car rentals south to the Mexican border, be advised that you need the car rental agency’s say so in order to cross into Mexico with the car. Car rental agencies tend to prohibit specialty cars, such as convertibles, from leaving the country. If you do not secure the car rental agency’s permission to cross the border, do not attempt it without their permission. If you do, the rental contract will be null and void, making you fully financially responsible for anything that might happen while you are driving in Mexico.
- Since car rental agencies are unlikely to allow Monterey convertible car rentals off their lot unless they are insured, be prepared to bring proof of your own insurance policy if you intend to opt out of purchasing car rental agency insurance. If you are going to use coverage from your personal car insurance policy or coverage via a credit card, bring either photocopies or screenshots of the pages of the policy that detail rental car coverage.
- Since Monterey is a small town but also a tourist town, those driving Monterey convertible car rentals can expect some congestion on the roads. During peak rush hours of 7 am to 10 am and then 3 pm to 7 pm, Monterey will experience rush hour traffic congestion on US Highway 1, which courses through the city connecting it to much busier California cities such as San Jose and San Francisco. Monterey tends to be a bike-friendly community, so as you are driving, be aware that you are sharing the road with both cyclists and pedestrian tourists.
- Book your convertible car rental in Monterey at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- February is typically the cheapest month to rent a convertible car in Monterey, with prices around $74 per day. The most expensive month is July, with average prices of $155 per day.
FAQs About Renting a Convertible Car in Monterey
Can I find Monterey convertible car rentals at the airport?

Feb 2017
Pros:
Able to reserve the all-wheel drive, large-size SUV the day before I needed it and at a very good rate on kayak.com, far less than I expect to pay (40% less than several direct car rental websites). Vehicle was in excellent condition with only 8,000 miles on it. Ran beautifully from Monterey to Tahoe and back through some pretty rough storm conditions. Easy pick-up and return at the Monterey Regional Airport.Cons:
There was nothing I didn't like about the rental car or the company, or the process of getting it online through kayak.com.Budget

Apr 2021
Pros:
No, I tried to call their office various times the day before, and they put me on hold for a long time twice, then just hung up the 3rd try. After that it just went to corporate.Cons:
The young man I encountered upon arrival was very brusque. Whipped thru the paperwork, and when I asked to confirm the quoted price, he said a price of $40 more. I asked why and he said it was because I was picking it up early (less than an hour difference, the flight was a bit early). He re-did it all to reflect the price I was quoted. Never had anything like that happen before.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Rental was for 08:00 am, but the car was not ready until 09:00. Was told they do not have the staff and he could not tell me when the car would be ready. Once the car was delivered, still had trash in the back from prior rental.8.0 Very good
Oct 2020
Pros:
The staff was great, the service was excellent - easy pick up and drop-off (and the woman staffing the desk remembered me three days later!). I found the entire experience to be easy and understandable (where to go, what to do, etc.) from beginning to end.Cons:
The car wasn't all that great. It was safe, it was functional, and it was most definitely clean. However, I would have preferred something a little more comfortable and modern, even at my small-car/low-level need.9.2 Wonderful

Aug 2019
Pros:
No cars in stock but they still let you make reservation on internet and waste so much time. Horrible. Totally unprofessional.10.0 Wonderful
Jan 2019
Pros:
Learning the art of advanced booking helps. Even with the pressure of the holidays, the staff maintained professionalism and tried to help others when their cars ran out. Glad I reserved earlier. Awesome ride, they suggested an upgrade which really helped because what I initially reserved, would've been a miserable fit for my size. Good team work! BUT it's a small lot and I don't think there are any other rental places nearby other than the airport, so last minute renters might continue to face off with staff there unfortunately.Cons:
Not sure when this started but have rental car places stopped caring about the outside of their cars? The inside was ok but the outside seemed it was wiped with a muddy rag. Other than that, nothing bad about this experience for me.10.0 Wonderful

No exorbitant airport fees and surcharges. This rental agency is about 3 miles from the Monterey Airport. Take a cab to the office and pick-up there.7.2 Good
