Are all the corvettes automatic with hertz? I'm looking to get one for my dad in FL on christmas day, but he has not driven in the US for a while and even though he drives manuals with us being in the UK, I think pushing it the other way may be too much especially with the power.
Also is $150 for a days rental seen as a good rate these days?

thats because the DSG and PDK arent autoboxes lol
and if you think that auto unit is slow you should feel the 4 speed unit in the 05s lol

It looks like I can't reserve one of these at TPA later this month
If the car can change gear ratios for you it's an automatic, regardless of technology.

Rented it twice in Honolulu around Christmas as a free upgrade. Could've been 3 times but someone beat me to it.
I think I spotted one in NYC around June/July.
I am planning a trip to Honolulu in November, and would love to rent one of these again. Any information about availability of those beasts around Waikiki are would much appreciated.

damn, how did you manage that? I wanted to rent one, but none of the locations had them. I got to cruise around in the Challenger RT and M37, so can't complain.... but vette... i want to drive one again...

Hertz do have the Corvette convertibles at Honolulu but availability is a joke! and it's priced at 3 times the Mustang Convertible.....

Does anyone know if they have these are SFO? I see the website has a photo of a red Corvette now. I have a Challenger RT booked for this weekend to take to LA, i will ask about Corvette's, but don't expect to get one!
edit... thinking about it, my hardside luggage is probably too big. If i got one, it might have to ride along as my passenger!

I can fit two carry-on size bags and a messenger bag in the back and still put the top down.

I think it's the height more than anything. There only seems to be about 10inches of that, and i'm sure my case is bigger than that.
They should have kept the coupe! That has way more space, and you can still take part of the roof off at least.

If you are doing a one-way rental from SFO->LAX the reservation system might not allow you to book that online. You could always ask when you arrive in SFO, although there might be a really high drop fee on the Corvette if they let you.

I didn't enquire about them in the end, as luggage space would not have worked anyway.
I do have a Challenger R/T though! It is big, and the interior on my previous Ford Focus rental was far superior, but it is fun! and fun is good when you're on Highway 1 in California and it's foggy :/ It makes me giggle like a child when i hit the accelerator I'm from the UK, and we don't have cars like it!
