Cheap Dollar Car Hire Deals at Chicago Union Station, Chicago

If you don’t find what you need at Chicago Union Station with Dollar, you might discover more car hire options in Chicago, which can occasionally be cheaper. However, keep in mind that the additional cost of transferring from Airport to Chicago might result in higher overall expenses compared to picking up your rental car directly at the airport.

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.

Pick a time that aligns with your flight arrival to avoid any complications from delays.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

Bring along your driver's license, ID, and credit card, as these are required for the rental.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

To save on refueling costs when departing from Chicago Union Station, look for deals with a 'full to full' tank fuel policy, or even better, a free tank fuel policy, as opposed to a 'half-full to full' one.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.
