Thanks!
Sorry I missed your first one Hope it all worked out.

Anyway, I found the best rates using the AAA CDP and PC# 168604:
Camaro SS/Challenger/Mustang GT: $576.91
Camaro SS CV: $597.98
Corvette CV: $650.65

These are final rates and include all taxes and fees. Amex Plat rates were much higher; any of the other CDPs you could use (airline/hotels) I imagine would also be higher. FYI, the standard Amex LDW coverage does not extend to Adrenaline Collection vehicles, so you may want to purchase that from Hertz.

This is also a great idea. YMMV of course (i.e., it could backfire), but there are probably good deals on the convertible Adrenaline vehicles at this time of year.
