Cheap Routes Car Hire in Chicago

Rest assured knowing that you're in good hands. We partner with reputable car hire providers in Chicago known for their reliability, quality service, and well-maintained vehicles. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Knowing where to park can save you both time and money; check for fees and space.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. For Chicago, we have car hire deals from 21 suppliers. Among them, Routes has a rating of 4.6, ACE has a rating of 4.6, Dollar has a rating of 4.6 and Budget has a rating of 4.5.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to Chicago, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70
