Hi
In August son went to swap his Tin Top Mustang at DCC ( Alamo). As was his honeymoon he layed it on a bit thick they offered him the corvette which he was about to take till they found out his drop off was in Miami. The swop would have been free however I think that was because of story rather than like for like swap. But Alamo do have corvette on books how many is another matter if you want a higher end sports car may well be better to contact your provider and book. NB. The 2 at DCC were dayglo yellow. Enjoy.

Nice one PPM,
And of course since its inception the corvette has been the American answer to the Porsche 911 in numbers only its plastic body and unruly power make it a poor comparison but it does go like you know what off a shovel. I'm not a charger fan as iconic 68 mustang think Bullitt is a dream for me. However in early September drove both the Mustang 2016 tin top and Camero 2016 soft top without a doubt the Camero is best drivers car hands down the Mustang is however best car to live with. So Camero for me and yes I did abuse them. Sorry OP petrolhead bit done with.

Hi, we were offered a free upgrade from a Mustang to a Corvette when we were in Orlando in October. It was white and looked lush but unfortunately it only has 2 seats and we had our 2 kids with us (they were not up for the suggestion that they spend their holiday at the Car Care Centre! what kind of selfish children have we raised? ) so, alas, we had to turn it down

Hi, We only had our car for part of the holiday last year so that's why we picked it up at the CCC, I'm not sure if there is a difference in the price between pick up at MCO and CCC.
I'm not one to condone bribery (well actually I am, I bribe my kids all the time) but I had taken a box of UK Cadbury sweets (read somewhere that US Cadbury is not as nice and some Americans prefer the UK stuff) for the car hire staff because my DH was really hoping to get a Mustang rather than 'or similar' and I thought this might help. Whether this helped with the free upgrade to a Corvette offer, I don't know but it couldn't have done any harm |
