Never rented one. Just come out of your terminal and go to the area where the rental car buses pick you up. There are signs. The Hertz buses run by about every 2 minutes. They will take you right to the Hertz place. Piece of cake.

Good luck in LA! The freeways are kind of rough from all of the repairs, and the traffic sucks, of course. But the weather is usually nice!

It looks like the Hertz Corvettes are well equipped:

Hertz has done it again. Exclusively built for Hertz, the Corvette ZHZ brings the mighty Corvette to even higher standards. Sporting a six-speed paddle shift transmission, the ZHZ makes the most of the dual mode exhaust delivering 436 horsepower. And, these impressive features are wrapped inside a uniquely packaged Corvette that features Hertz’s iconic yellow and black, colors that have a storied past in sports car history.

Production of the ZHZ Convertible will be limited making it an instant classic. It’s another one of the many exciting cars that you can reserve from the Hertz Fun Collection®. And like all Fun Collection vehicles it comes equipped with SIRIUS XM Radio. Now is your chance to get in the driver's seat of sports car history.

For the car enthusiast:
• Special limited edition built by GM
• LS3 6.2L V8 aluminum-block engine with dual-mode performance exhaust and 436 horsepower
• Magnetic Selective Ride Control - Tour or Sport Mode
• Goodyear Eagle F1 EMT Supercar tires
• Larger brakes with cross-drilled brake rotors
• EPA estimated 25 MPG highway
• The Coupe models are the most aerodynamic Corvettes ever

The Corvette ZHZ are available for reservations at select major market locations in the U.S.

The ZHZ referenced above was a 2008 coupe, then a 2009 convertible, neither of which is available now. Today's model is a 2013 C6 base convertible, with a power top, and has on board the Hertz navigation, along with Sirius XM. Nice cars, but not much luggage space with the top down (11 cubic feet?). Good luck!

It will be a BASE C6 model, but will have 60th Anniversary markings on the door kickboards and on hood and rear Corvette logos. It will NOT be a Wide Body.

I typically will reserve a full size model ahead of time, then upgrade to a Corvette upon arrival. By doing that, you can save a sizeable amount of money. The risk is that they won't have any in stock when you arrive. I'll be out there in a couple of weeks, and will take a photo of one if you'd like.

This is off of the Hertz website. I've seen the entire collection at Hertz LAX.

Get ready for the ultimate car rental experience. Inject some exhilaration into your trip with the aggressive new Adrenaline Collection® from Hertz. Head-turning, heart-pumping specialty performance versions of five of the most popular muscle cars on the road today:

Our cars include:
• Chevy Camaro SS
• Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible
• Chevrolet Corvette Convertible
• Ford Mustang 5.0 GT Premium
• Dodge Challenger R/T

Relive the 60’s and 70’s muscle era with the aggressive new Adrenaline Collection®. Each model has new modern body lines and colors & designs that are reminiscent of those famous classic hot rods. Hold on tight to that three-spoke racing wheel and enjoy the ride. Your vacation just got a lot more exciting.

Each Adrenaline Collection® rental comes with complimentary SiriusXM Satellite
Radio. Listen to over 130 channels, including commercial-free music, plus all your
favorite sports, exclusive entertainment, news, talk, comedy and more.

It would be really nice of you if you could take a photo! Appreciate it! Actually we have already reserved a exact model on Hertz. We got a good price! Rent a corvette in Sweden would cost a fortune!

All Hertz ZHZ coupes('08) and convertibles ('09) were Yellow w/Black stripes running down the middle of the car. Today Hertz rentals are the garden variety colors. I've rented a millennium yellow(no stripes, they are not ZHZ), artic white, silver, and black. I've also seen torch red. All convertible tops were black.

Hope this helps. Has anyone else seen other colors on the Hertz fleet?

Hertz is currently adding some even more exclusive rides to it's fleet. I was recently in Las Vegas and scored a brand new Mercedes C63 AMG sedan. Others they had on site, Porsche 911 Cayman and Boxster, Mercedes SL, as well as a few Ferrari models, can't say for sure which ones though. The Vettes are base convertibles, some with Hertz NeverLost, some without, and they also had Camaro SS in both coupe and convertible, Mustang GT coupe only, the Mustang convertibles were V6 models, and Challenger RT's.
