Hertz Planning To Offer A Special Edition Corvette Z06 For Rent

This year Hertz Rental Car Service turns 100 years old. For such a monumental milestone, it's only natural that they would make plans to build on their "rent-a-racer" program that stretches back to the 1960's. This year's offering is truly special, as they are planning on shipping out 100 Corvette Z06s for rental at select airports across the U.S. We at Toyota Of North Hollywood in North Hollywood, CA highly recommend springing for the optional insurance.

In 1918 Walter Jacobs founded a rental company in Chicago with a fleet of Ford Model Ts. In 1923, Yellow Cab founder John Hertz purchased the company from Jacobs and changed the name to Hertz. Today, you can find Hertz locations at almost every airport and city in the U.S. They set themselves apart from the competition in the 60's with their rent-a-racer program that allowed consumers to experience the thrill of driving performance cars for at least a little while.

This year's offering is truly impressive. The Corvette Z06 has a 650 HP LT4 engine with an 8-speed automatic transmission pumping all that power to the rear wheels.

You can check with Hertz for availability and with fees the per-day cost appears to be about $275.

If you miss your opportunity to rent one of these beauties, keep in mind that Hertz decommissions their vehicles after about a year so you may be able to pick one up at a great price from a Hertz Car Sales branch!
