Does the inventory only open up nearer the time or is it just a case of trying every week?

Thanks!
I honestly don't think the Corvette convertibles have been added to the Hertz fleet yet after March 30, 2009. When I was looking for availability earlier this year it seemed like March 30th was the last date you could book one. So I rented one the last week in March out of SFO.

I talked to someone at Hertz when I returned and they said they were getting their new fleet in Canada on April 1st. I am not sure when the fleets are being replaced in the USA but suspect it is around the same time.

Hopefully Hertz will add some new Corvette convertibles to the fleet soon so we can start to book them. I have been checking almost every day for my next trip for availability.

Some locations still have the 2008 Corvette ZHZ which is a hardtop in the system. That makes sense as these cars were added to the fleet in June of 2008. Where as some of the 2008 convertibles were added to the fleet in late 2007.
