sry Tran, didn't read all the posts before complaining, IMO still a waste since most of those rentals will be abused.

I rented one from Avis two weeks ago from the Ft Lauderdale/Hollywood airport. The service agent even helped me out with the price and everything was good. I had a Yellow SS/RS with 2200 miles on her. It was a great experience for my wife and I. She likes it soo much that she is pushing for me to order one. I hope that GM fills all the orders quickly so that everyone can have to same experience I had.............

Dont do it. I got a corvette for $100 (all prices are negotiable) +$30 insurance at the Hertz here in Jacksonville. I think you would have more fun in that then a Camaro. I still love the Camaro, but a vette is a better toy!

2 day rental over last weekend $306 (includes tax)

I think I might grab a rental next weekend, only thing I can find "near" me is an auto 1LT (looking to buy 6M SS2) but the overall feel of the car should be similar I'd expect. Next weekend should be fun

I just rented the SS Camaro with IOM over the weekend for my 27th birthday and I was told majority of the AVIS camaros were getting taken over the budget lot to rent instead.

As a side note, I was told that budget was giving out one day free coupons to rent any car on their lot..but I cant say 100% that the camaros are on the list of qualified vehicles but it doesnt hurt to try to ask.

I gotta say that it was hard trying to return the camaro I rented back to the rental place @ LAX in the morning. I thought it was funny how the guys at the rental were surprised the model I was driving was even available because they rarely had seen any IOM SS models with sunroof at their lot.

Yeah I rented a 2SS on August 20 from there when I went to Blizzcon. I had gone on a business trip to El Segundo in June and they had rentals as early as then.

Banshee · 09-15-2009, 11:59 AM

How much are the 2SS's going for a day rental?

See that's the problem..especially at the LAX office.. The rates are constantly going up daily due to the high usage of the vehicles as I was told by the rep at the rental.

I had placed a reserve a week in advance for a 3 day rental from Friday-Sun 6am to 6am and with my airline corp discount and multiple $25 vouchers the woman gave me, I paid a total of $500. But the daily rate as of now is $167.19 but that can change with a matter of 24 hrs..

I'll elaborate on this thread appropriately then. I found this funny by zooming in on the stats they were showing for the rental cars. I thought I was seeing things, but MPG on the SS shows 19-28.
That's 1 mpg more in the city for the SS over the V6 and 1 mpg less on the highway for the SS compared to the V6.
That's very funny advertisment!!!

I need to find a way to buy a Budget SS cause dude, I could save a good 3 mpg in the city and 7 on the highway compared to the one I have ordered!

LOL I noticed that as well

It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?
