Australia, New Zealand & the South Pacific - Convertible car hire ADL => MEL

I am having great difficuly finding a car hire company that will allow a one way rental from ADL => MEL for a convertible. We're planning on doing the trip in just over a months time and we had no idea that hiring a convertible for the journey would so difficult - any suggestions? :confused:

If renting for over a month a purchase/buyback scheme might be cost-effective. This is available for brand-new cars (presuming you want a Jag convertible or something nice like that) or for used cars at all price points (though more at the high and low end). One way rentals for specialty cars are a problem, and you usually wind up having to pay shipping back to the origin -- hence the high cost.

Doesn't surprise me in the least. Convertibles are a very rare beast in Australia, so your chances of finding any with a rental car outfit would be quite slim.
They are nowhere near as popular in Australia as they would be in Britain or the USA.
