Default Vacation to Las Vegas

So, the owner of my dad's company is going to fly us out to Vegas in his private plane. We'll visit the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, and of course the Strip.

I looked into renting a 'Vette or something one day just for fun, but you have to have full coverage insurance. I don't. lol.

Any tips? advice?

Yes. I know. I looked at several websites. They require you to have full coverage insurance to rent a vehicle. I don't have that so I can't rent a car.

We're going to rent a full-size car somewhere. Hertz doesn't have 'Vettes. The 'Vette would just be one day. I've never driven one, so it would be for fun, cruisin', etc.

Yes. That's the per-day rate. If you rent for three days, you get a bit of a discount on your per-day rate.

I think that's a bad-looking car.
