The Corvette C8 Stingray rents for $350 a day at Dud Rents and the Corvette Z06 rents for $475 a day. That extra $125 a day gets you 175 more horsepower, a flat-plane V8 that revs to 8,600 rpm and a wide, track-tuned body. Both cars seat two, both carry a $1,000 refundable deposit, and both can be delivered anywhere in Palm Beach County or Broward for $100.
So the real question is simple. Do you want a mid-engine Corvette, or do you want the loudest, fastest one? Every price and spec below comes straight from the Dud Rents fleet page and every policy from the FAQ.
What is the difference between the Corvette C8 Stingray and the Z06?
The C8 Stingray is the everyday mid-engine Corvette with a 6.2L V8 and 495 horsepower. The Z06 is the track version, with a hand-assembled 5.5L flat-plane V8 making 670 horsepower and a wider body with track-tuned aero and brakes. Same family, very different personality.

How much does it cost to rent a Corvette for a weekend in West Palm Beach or Fort Lauderdale?
A weekend (out Friday, back Sunday) counts as 2 days, so the C8 Stingray comes to $675 and the Z06 comes to $925, with the $25 two-day discount already taken off. Add $100 if you want it delivered in Palm Beach County or Broward.
| Rental length | C8 Stingray | Z06 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | $350 | $475 | $125 |
| 2 days (weekend) | $675 | $925 | $250 |
| 3 days | $975 | $1,350 | $375 |
| 5 days | $1,650 | $2,275 | $625 |
| 7 days | $2,300 | $3,175 | $875 |
Those totals include the automatic length discount: $25 off for 2+ days, $75 off for 3+, $100 off for 5+ and $150 off for 7+. You get the one highest discount you reach, not all of them added together.
Is the Corvette Z06 worth the extra $125 a day?
It is worth it if the drive itself is the reason you are renting. The Z06 is the car you pick when you want the sound and the pull to be the whole experience. If you mainly want to arrive in a mid-engine Corvette, the C8 Stingray already looks the part and saves you $250 over a weekend.
- Pick the C8 Stingray if you want the Corvette look on a smaller budget, a roof panel you can pull off for an open-air cruise up A1A, or a longer rental where the savings add up.
- Pick the Z06 if this is a birthday, a once-a-year trip or a content shoot, and you want the car people hear before they see it.
Which Corvette is better for a Palm Beach or Broward road trip?
For a long, easy cruise, the C8 Stingray is the smarter pick. It costs less per day, and with the roof panel off it turns the drive between Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach into the trip itself. The Z06 is built to be driven hard, and that is more than most people need for Las Olas Boulevard, Clematis Street or Worth Avenue.
Both cars come with 100 to 150 miles a day included, and you can buy extra miles ahead of time. Going over costs $1 to $5 a mile depending on the car, so if you are planning a longer drive, ask about miles when you book.
