I managed to reserve and rent a Corvette through my favorite Hertz Local Edition with #1 points a couple weeks ago. Corvettes are so very nice!
And they are crazy expensive to rent, if you were using $$$. For that reason, I think renters generally treat these rental cars nicer than they would the average Ford Taurus. And of course you will need to go over the car very carefully to look for scratches or dings before you leave the lot. My car was pretty much in perfect shape, despite having between 10 & 20 K miles on it.
One last thing to note: my own Corvette rental had a mileage limit (which I believe most prestige rentals come with?) I remember seeing "200 miles" on the "daily rate" on the contract and almost had a heart attack 'cause I had gone over it by about 150 miles.... but turns out my rental was 200 miles per day, so that was a relief. I've seen other rates quoted that came out at 50 or 100 miles per day. The overage rates aren't too bad either... 30 cents a mile X 100 miles = $30.
