Car rental companies

[striktlyaccord]

So without getting into too much detail, does anyone have frequent experience with major car rental chains?  Namely, places that rent sportier cars like Mustang, Camaro, Challenger and actually have them in their fleet on a regular basis?

I've got some cool stuff at Hertz but not locally They had 6 or 10 Vettes in Jacksonville.

I was just offered a mustang convertible at hertz in Vancouver.  I opted for a jeep compass instead. I didn't want to pay for anything else.

I recommend hertz. Sign up for the gold membership it helps out a lot in the long run.

I travel for work and almost exclusively rent from Hertz...best selection, best rewards program.  Not the cheapest by far, but definitely the best.

I'm willing to splurge.  I've called a bunch of places, including Hertz, and I'd really like to have access to a newer American muscle vehicle (Mustang, Camaro, Challenger), but these "Adrenaline Series" cars are pretty hard to come by in all of the locations I've looked into.  At most places, the most comparable car they seem to have easier access to are Dodge Chargers.  Is this even a sport / muscle car, or just a boat?  I need something to make my long travels next week a little more fun on some open road.

If it is the v6 Charger I wouldn't recommend it.  My mom has one and it is a bore to drive.

Unfortunately unless you are in Florida or Texas, the Adrenaline series can be hard to come by.  Sometimes they will have one, but if you reserve you they are supposed to make sure there is one there for you.

I randomly got into a HEMI V8 Challenger on a trip to Omaha, NE once, got a V8 Mustang GT convertible in Chicago, and a few other randoms here and there.

Carrentalsavers site is pretty good. I used it for enterprise to get 15% off weekly rate

Had a fun road trip across the country.  At first, Hertz graced me with this:



And then this happened:



Because a teenage girl flew across the highway and did this:



So, after some paperwork, Hertz replaced the car with this:



Fun was had by all.
