Hertz has over the years delivered on some cool rental programs, usually circulating around the Ford Mustang. But not this time. This time it’s about the Chevrolet Performance enthusiasts, as the rental company has announced a special collaboration with Hendrick Motorsports to bring upgraded 2020 Camaro SS and Camaro ZL1 muscle cars to select cities for rent.
Each Camaro will be fashioned in the signature Hertz yellow and black color scheme with custom wheels, interior badging and full performance upgrades outfitted by NASCAR’s most successful team. Because who said rental cars have to be boring?
The 2020 Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro SS is customized with 20-inch satin black wheels, Chevrolet cold air intake and cat-back dual-mode exhaust, custom exterior graphics package, strut tower bar with Hendrick Motorsports branding, custom Hertz lighted door sill plates, embroidered headrests with the No. 24 team logo and NASCAR driver William Byron’s signature, Hertz fender badges, and a Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports plaque denoting the vehicle’s individual production number. Only 200 Chevrolet Camaro SS Hertz-Hendrick rental cars will be made.
The Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports 2020 Camaro ZL1 will be outfitted with a 6.2L V8 engine with 100 extra horsepower, totaling 750 hp, thanks to a larger Callaway Supercharger. And like the Camaro SS mentioned above, the ZL1 will also feature custom Hertz wheels, custom Hertz lighted door sill plates, embroidered headrests with Hertz-sponsored Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron’s signature and the No. 24 team logo, Hertz fender badges, and a Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports plaque denoting the vehicle’s individual number. Only 24 Hertz-Hendrick Camaro ZL1s will be made.
Throughout Fall 2019, Hertz will begin rolling out these special Camaros in airport locations in the following cities. They are: Atlanta, GA, Charlotte, NC, Dallas, TX, Ft. Lauderdale, FL, Ft. Myers, FL, Houston, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Los Angeles, CA, Miami, FL, Nashville, TN, Orlando, FL, Phoenix, AZ, San Diego, CA, San Francisco, CA, and Tampa, FL. Ironically, American muscle car mecca, Detroit, is not on the list. But for those of you in those sunny states, keep a lookout for these special Hertz-Hendrick machines.
Additionally, to celebrate the debut of the limited-edition Camaros, customers can participate in The Hertz Ultimate Ride Sweepstakes, which starts September 18 and runs until November 15, 2019 for a chance to win a Hertz-Hendrick Motorsports 2020 Camaro SS.
