National had one last year or the year before, it was from the Exotic fleet I was told.. It was the Challenger with the Shaker hood.
I couldn't even get close to it because there was a tow truck in the way but if it's ON plated and a $50 upgrade, that sure would be a sweet car to get up in speed with.

Spotted two brand new ecoboost Mustang convertibles in the Hertz Upgrade Selection early Monday morning.
There were a couple ecoboost Mustang convertibles over at Enterprise as well. I suspect these will mix into the National fleet with the existing Mustang GTs.

I couldn't believe my eyes today. Hertz T1 Upgrade Selection had three brand new black Camaro RS convertibles available for upgrade. As a previous owner of a black Camaro Z28 convertible I was pleasantly surprised.

Any advice appreciated. Booking a 3 week rental end of May into June.
The two rates that seem decent are,
1: Midsize SUV Group Q4 IFAR Toyota RAV4 or similar for $780
or 2: Premium Group G PCAR Chrysler 300 or similar for $660
The premium for less money seems like the better deal but I'm looking for headroom and the Chrysler 300's are pretty tight.
Is it likely that I can end up with a midsize SUV if I book the PCAR and decide I don't like the vehicle. (Gold Member only)
TIA

Interesting
Just look at the AAA rate where PCAR is 617CAD for 3 wks and FCAR is 639CAD for 3 wks (pick up Thursday)
Generally speaking, YYZ Hertz does not have a lot premium cars, currently most cars are Chargers, few 300s (Impala is FCAR in Canada)
Hertz does have more mid size SUV (Rogue, Rav4, chevy etc) and personally I think you can definitely book PCAR and kindly ask for an mid size SUV
If you want an SUV, it's better to have a back up reservation
BTW, Thursday/Friday/Saturday before afternoon possibly are best time to pick up

Asked about upgrading to the Camaro as a Presidents circle member and was told it was $65/day and that was the best they could do. Then I spoke with a manger who said those are normally $100/day and they were new. They just parked it there because they didn't have anywhere else to park it. Mentioned the sign which said $40/day upgrade for PC. He then says oh that's $40 USD. I couldn't believe it. Why is Hertz YYZ always trying to scam their customers and such a headache to deal with. If National or Avis had any Camaro this year I would have walked away and cancelled on the spot.
