Ant97GTR Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Hi guys, Was looking at trying to find something a little special to hire in LA - the car variety, not the woman variety . I heard a while ago that Hertz got a special run of corvettes that they hire but I believe that has been discontinued Anyone got any ideas?

JamesK Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I know the special rental company in Beverly Hills is still active (they only rent Vetts) but yea turbovan is right Hertz has a special division where they have upper end cars last I know is the had drop head mustangs I'll ask my bro and some of my friends over there and get back to you Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/306645-car-hire-in-la/#findComment-5068827 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesK Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 I seriously wish hertz had this here. OK the division is named Hertz Rent a Legend where they have 1000 Shelby GT-H(ertz) basically if your going to any US major airport you book in advance and they will have the car waiting for you there. https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/byr/index.js...United%20States EDIT: Lol one of my friends pointed me to this place, http://www.bhrentacar.com/component/option...s/task,listcat/, rent a Veyron....DOOOO ITTT EDIT 2: Ok appears your right, hertz do Vettes, the company I was thinking of actually is Hertz and I just didn't know it at the time, go here >> https://www.hertz.com/rentacar/byr/index.js...ion=globNav_5_2 >> type LAX >> confirm >> Vehicle Guide >> Fun Collection >> VIOLA!!! Have FUN! Here's a little picture I took in Beverly Hills (must be where Hertz store some of the Vetts) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/306645-car-hire-in-la/#findComment-5068837 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant97GTR Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 While the Veyron is tempting the $25k a day charge is a little steep....not that I expected any less . I was actually think more along the lines of an american muscle car (hey while in rome...). The bhrentacar website is easy to use and has the goods. Hertz on the other hand.....it is probably user error but no matter what I click I can't get the vette or the Mustang to come up :rage:. I've gone to the fun section and saved the vette as my choice but when I pick the dates and airport it does not appear in my list. Oh well might have to give them a call.

saff_cossie Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 We went to book the yellow corvette to drive from Vegas to LA and even changed the departure date from Vegas to try and get one on standby as they book out so far in advance. This was July 08. Had to settle for a drop top Mustang that at 80mph coming into LA around the sweeping twisties felt like a barge. Was fun but couldnt get the top down without putting all the luggage in the back seat! Pic here somewhere, will dig it out. When are you heading over? We will be passing through in Aug one way and Sept the other Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/306645-car-hire-in-la/#findComment-5069405 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha "Yea...uh huh...o....HOLY WTF there's a bird and now I'm in the lake!" Apparently he is selling one now but it's NOT the one that went into the lake cause that was the Company car he's selling his "personal" one....yea what ever birdman new Challenger should be pretty easy to hire... best looking of the modern/retro muscle cars IMO...Then again a ZR1 would be toooo much fun:) Unfortunately Hertz cars or Z06's Just don't talk on the phone while driving the Veyron cuz a pelican will come flying in front of you and you'd end up in a lake...laugh.gif Yea giving them a call would be a good way to go, just remember these cars are only at "Selected" places, but given the nature of the cars I wouldn't be surprised if it was by phone call booking ONLY Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/306645-car-hire-in-la/#findComment-5069512 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to hire a different muscle car for each leg if not may buy a camaro and bring it back... We drove LA - San Fran (diverted through Big Sur National Park and the army training camp due to wild fires part way through the journey), flew to NYC and drove from there to Washington and onto Wilmington in NC. Wilmington over to Atlanta, GA. Flew Atlanta to Vegas and drove Vegas to LA. Was over 2500 miles driving in 4 hire cars but 3 Hyundais and 1 mustang so nothing to write about vehicle wise really! This year, looking at driving LA to NYC, few things to do in upstate New York and over the border to Canada. Around New England area and fly back via San Fran again. There are a few exotic hire car companies in Vegas but sounds similar to the Veyron someone has already mentioned.

We will be passing through in Aug one way and Sept the other Yeah like I said in my post above, I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong on the website, Hertiz don't offer the vette from LA or whether they are all booked out. Can someone else try the Hertz website to see if they can book a Vette through it - as per the original post the pick up is LAX and the dates are pickup 30/05/2010 and drop off 02/06/2010. I love the look of the new mustangs but most (if not all) of the Stangs they hire are 6's and that just wouldn't sit right with me Thanks Ash, will drop Matt a PM Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/306645-car-hire-in-la/#findComment-5070601 Share on other sites More sharing options...
