Default Looking to rent a Corvette

Hello everyone,

Going to visit the fiance again in February and would like to rent a corvette for my birthday. Anyone got friends or know of a place to contact? I emailed Hertz already but looking to find some competition. When I was in Phoenix last, I was quoted at 110 a day. I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Shuluke

Hey I actually checked that location but the cheapest place is $299 a day plus $1 for each additional mile after 50... Ouch! But thanks for the link!

Do you know how much they paid by chance?



I am considering purchasing a vette but I would like to drive one for a weekend first before purchasing. I would purchase in May or June so asking for a weekend test drive at a dealership will not work out.

why not? Couldn't hurt to ask.

Mac, the GM for John Eagle Honda, let me borrow his suzuka blue S2k back in 2002 for a whole day. John Goodson Honda let me test drive a Honda Ridgeline for 2 days.

Just make sure to rent it over a weekend there is an HPDE at MSRH, that way you can really get a "feel" for the car.
