Currently, they are $249/day for unlimited mileage. If anyone cares.
The gf finally got around to calling Ches Kromroy at Enterprise Exotic Las Vegas. They must've raised the rates or maybe different prices on the weekends? Sunday to Monday daily rate is $299 coupe and $329 Vert with 150 miles a day. That will put me about $415 out the door if I drive the vert 210 miles or so. Probably still do it, but it's a bit more ($85) than the C6 vert last year. Is the C7 vert worth another $85 to drive ~210 miles in 24 hours?

Rented the C7 at SFO, drove 400 miles in a day. Absolutely best test drive ever! It was a Silver coupe, with comp seats. The wife was sold on us getting one. Worth every penny!

I still have his email quoting me $249.00 so I hope he honors that as I
will be doing my "extended test drive" the week of the 18th.

Meanwhile, I'll check a few of the other rental places
here in Vegas to see if they have any Vettes as well.

You may fare better if you're local? Dunno. I'm renting for 24 hours on the 24th. Can also rent a 13 911 S for $369 or a 14 911 cab for $399 + tax/fees as a comparison. 2013 911 S might be fun too, but I kinda wanted to try the C7 vert since its a car I'd realistically buy...

I rented it because I have serious concerns about the room in the car in relation to my size (6'5"/235). Good news: been a great couple of days, and a great test drive. Bad news: I am too big for the car to consider purchasing it.
"The Stingray Hertz edition, in velocity yellow or blade silver, starts at only $250 per day and comes with a 6.2-liter V8 making 460 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. All get a black hood stripe and a black leather interior. This car gets to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds.

The Hertz Corvette is available in Miami, Orlando, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Houston, Phoenix"

He literally asked for that one. Great comeback!

Really like the yellow though so this will give me a good chance to drive it for a couple of days before purchasing. Money well spent IMO.
Did you rent? I'm doing Spring Mountain in the z06 in March of next year. But want to drive a c7 as a daily for a few days. This will help me decide on what I'm doing for my next fun car purchase.

I checked sixt online and didn't see the c7 as an option.

Give them a call and call the sunrise blvd location specifically and ask for the new vette
Not listed online
Good luck

I got super excited since I've been recently planning on renting one for a day because it'll be a good number of years before I could even think about buying one and I'm aching to drive one even if its only for 24hrs. I thought your next statement was going to be how it was done with a coupon or otherwise....then came the punchline. Lol hoping there's a good aaa discount. Maybe next time my car needs to go into the shop aaa could hook me up with an 80% discount for hertz like they did last time. Although I'm not expecting it to apply to the hertz elite/exotic cars. I see enterprise has one as well (haven't read through the entire post) but they don't list prices online.
