Avis Rent A Car announced the addition of the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible to its 'Cool Car' collection of fun-to-drive vehicles. Renters can choose from the Camaro SS with a 400-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine, or the Camaro LT which features a 312-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine. The new Camaro Convertible, available with automatic transmission, can be rented exclusively at Avis.

"Avis was the first car rental company to offer the award-winning Camaro Coupe and we're even more excited to be the only one to offer the all-new convertible," said Tom Gartland, executive vice president of sales, marketing and customer care for Avis Budget Group, the parent company of Avis. "Avis customers will surely appreciate the thrill of driving one of the coolest cars of all-time -- with the top down."
