What to expect on your trip
- Ford Mustang convertible and similar open-top rentals at CONRac are theft/vandalism targets in summer tourist season.
- CDW alone may not cover theft — LDW or credit-card coverage that includes theft is essential.
- Park in lit hotel garages; never leave luggage visible — break-in claims may fall under comprehensive deductible on your coverage card.
- Some credit cards exclude convertibles — read exclusions before declining agency LDW on a Mustang rental.
- Counter LDW for sports/convertible class often hits the top of the $35/day band — compare vs Amex Premium flat fee.
