Documents and licence check
Both drivers if you are sharing. Only named drivers may drive.

The pop-top roof, in person
Up and down twice, with you doing it the second time. Roof damage from an incorrect close is the single biggest deposit deduction and it is entirely avoidable.

Keys and away
Emergency number is in the door pocket and on a card in your wallet.

Munich to the Dolomites and back is around 650 km, so the 800 km package fits a normal weekend with room to wander. A run down to Lake Garda and back is closer to 900 and would cost about USD 30 in excess mileage, which is usually cheaper than buying a bigger package up front.
