Hi everyone.
Everyone and their moms are Avis First members. Company policy is that we can rent an intermediate, standard or full size vehicle. I get a one class upgrade with my company coupon and Avis First typically upgrades another class.
That's still well below the "cool car" - Corvette.
Sans President / Chairman club members, has anyone been able to get upgraded to a corvette or do you have to actually book it.

The Corvette is by far the most expensive rental in the Avis fleet. A quick check for LAX showed the Corvette available for $197/day + fees/taxes which brings it to $255/day 
. There is also a 100/day mileage cap on that rate. I don't think you corporate discount would apply. 
It would be easier to test drive one at your local dealer.

Chairmans members aren't eligible for upgrades into a Corvette. It's possible someone ehre has gotten such an upgrade, but by policy Avis does not upgrade to a Corvette.

Which Covette models (okay, engines) are available or potentially available?
How about the 427ci Z06?
Might interest a few Aussies, given we will have a 427-engined sedan in the works here, soon.
Too bad about the no one-way restriction... I could see lots of LAX-SFO or SNA-SFO. I guess the 427 is exclusive to Corvette (aside from trucks?).
