Red Chevrolet Corvette Convertible on a palm-lined boulevard at golden hour

Torch Red

Red Chevrolet Corvette Convertible

A mid-engined V8 with a roof that folds itself away in sixteen seconds, in the colour Corvette has been painting since 1953.

Rental in Los Angeles · from $349

Torch Red, roof down, V8 in the middle.

The convertible C8 is the same mid-engined 6.2-litre V8 with a hardtop that disappears into the deck behind your head — 495 horsepower, sixty in under three seconds, and Torch Red, which is what people mean when they say Corvette.

Red Chevrolet Corvette Convertible from above and behind with the roof stowed
01Roof in the deck, the buttresses gone, and a rear that is mostly vent. There is a V8 under the glass between them.

The hardtop is the clever part. It is not fabric, it does not spoil the roofline, and it stows itself in about sixteen seconds without eating the luggage space — because the luggage space is under the bonnet, where the engine used to be, and there is a second one behind the engine that survives the roof going down.

What you get for it is the reason people rent convertibles in Los Angeles and nowhere else. A naturally aspirated pushrod V8 a foot behind your shoulders, no roof between it and the canyon walls, and three hundred and fifty dollars a day.

Torch Red, roof down.
The colour is the whole idea.

Is the Corvette Convertible available to rent in Los Angeles?
Yes — this is the convertible, and it is a different car to book from the coupé: the hardtop folds into the deck at the touch of a button, and it will do it while you are moving at city speed.
How much does it cost to rent a Corvette Convertible in Los Angeles?
The red Corvette Convertible is $349 a day. Five days is priced as a block rather than as five separate days, and twenty-one as another; the quote takes whichever combination is cheaper for your dates, and neither has to be asked for. Delivery to our Beverly Hills partner hotels is complimentary.

It is a hardtop that folds itself into the deck in about sixteen seconds, and it will do it at city speed. The boot under the bonnet stays yours either way.

Renting the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible: the short answers

Can I book the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible with a driver?
Yes. A chauffeur is from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum, added to the car at its day rate — $749 for a four-hour evening in this car. No security deposit is taken on a chauffeured booking. The same car can be driven to the event and yours with the keys the morning after; the chauffeur service page has the runs and the hours.
What do I need to rent the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, and can international guests book?
A driver of 21 or over with a licence held at least two years — between 21 and 24 a young-driver fee of $50 a day applies on this car, and under 21 is considered case by case. A major credit card in the primary renter's name for the refundable hold, and cover for the car: your own full-coverage policy if it extends to a rental, or our Protection plan arranged with the booking. International guests rent on a passport and a home-country licence; no International Driving Permit is needed. The hold is released 5–7 business days after a clean return, longer only if there is damage to price. If the age floor or the cover is the thing in the way, the same car goes out with a driver instead — that booking asks neither of you.
How far ahead should I book the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible, and can I change the dates?
There is no notice period: the calendar on this page shows the days it is free, and once a booking is paid a car that is free can be on its way to you in about an hour — same day included. Moving the dates is free, as often as you need, outside the last day before the start; a change inside it keeps one day's rate. What comes back if you cancel is set out in our terms and conditions.
Can the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible be delivered to my hotel, my home or LAX?
Yes. Delivery is complimentary to the Beverly Wilshire, the Four Seasons at Doheny, L’Ermitage and the Maybourne, and collection from our Robertson Boulevard office costs nothing. LAX is $150 both ways with the car in the airport parking structure or $300 both ways to the terminal, half that for one direction. Any other address is priced by distance from the office, $75 one way inside 10 miles, and itemised on the quote before you pay.
How many miles are included, and can I take the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible out of California?
Every car carries its own daily mileage allowance, and yours arrives in writing with the booking confirmation, together with the per-mile rate for anything over it. The car may leave the state — Las Vegas, Arizona, up the coast — as long as you tell us the plan in advance and keep the allowance in mind; it comes home to Los Angeles, since there is no one-way drop in another city.
What does a weekend in the Chevrolet Corvette Convertible cost, and can I rent it by the hour?
$698 for two days and $1,047 for three, before the Protection plan, tax and any delivery — there is no separate weekend rate, and one day is the minimum on a Saturday too. The day is the shortest self-drive booking; by the hour, the car goes out with a driver, from $100 an hour on a two-hour minimum.
