We will be in Tuscany in late October. Would it be worth the extra bucks to rent a convertible for day tripping in Tuscany? Or are the roads too dusty? October too wet?

Thanks!

well, there are dirt roads and it definitely could rain. Too dusty or too wet? Who knows!

Have you priced it--perhaps double.
Late Oct. can be a bit chilly.

Looks to me like a little bitty convertible will be double the price of a high end sedan or coupe.

weather could be great or maybe not ... Don't worry about dusty roads unless you plan to use side roads.

I love top down driving, but on the small mountain/hill roads, I might feel better in a closed car.

Then you should love the below snippet from a news website (I believe in Indiana):

"I was driving with my two grandchildren on a sunny afternoon when a woman in a convertible ahead of us stood up and waved. She was stark naked! As I was reeling from the shock, I heard my oldest grandson shout from the back seat. 'Nana, that lady isn't wearing a seat belt!'"

maitaitom, that's pretty cute. Ah, the lure of the open road.
