KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Addison

  • Addison is a bustling city that is home to a range of cultural, historical, and outdoor attractions. Contrary to popular belief, renting cheap car rentals in Addison can actually be more cost-effective than alternative transportation options in the long run, such as taking taxis or public transportation. You can find excellent deals on Addison car rentals that are tailored to your budget and needs. Additionally, the city is surrounded by several popular attractions, including the Morton Arboretum, Northwestern Medicine Field, and the Medieval Times Dinner Theater. Having a car makes it easier to visit these places, especially if you're traveling with a group or have a tight schedule.
  • Chicago O'Hare Airport (ORD) is approximately 15 miles from Addison. The rental car offices at ORD are located on the lower level of the main terminal building. Some other companies also have their offices off-site and there is an airport shuttle called the "ATS" (Airport Transit System) which runs between the terminals and the rental car center. Chicago Midway Airport (MDW) is approximately 13 miles from Addison. You will likely pick up your car rental on the Lower Level Door #2. Shuttles are scheduled to run between the airport and the rental facilities and are available 24 hours a day.
  • When driving cheap car rentals in Addison, there are a few things that one should keep in mind. Drivers are allowed to make a right turn on the red traffic lights in Addison after coming to a complete stop and checking for oncoming traffic.  While there are bicycles on the road, they typically stick to bike lanes or share the road with vehicles. There are also trucks on the road, particularly around industrial areas and jaywalking is less common than in larger cities. The common vehicles on the road in Addison are sedans, SUVs, crossover vehicles, and pickups.
  • Rush hour traffic in Addison can be experienced during weekday mornings from 7 am to 9 am and afternoons from 4 pm to 6 pm, as commuters travel to and from work. Certain roads that may be affected include the I-290 highway and the IL-83 N/S road. During rush hour, drivers can expect slower-moving traffic, delays, and potential accidents. Driving cheap car rentals in Addison can also present challenges in the winter due to snow and ice on the roads. Drivers are encouraged to drive slowly and cautiously during these times and to make sure their vehicle is equipped with snow tires or tire chains. Drivers should also exercise caution and avoid driving through flooded areas during the rainy season to reduce the risk of accidents and vehicle damage.

The staff was super nice and the car was wonderful. Easy location and great price. It was just difficult to get in touch with them. I had tried to call them multiple times on different days to ask about drop off after hours and it would just rang and go directly to an automatic service that was like a dispatch center. No one could give me an answer if there was a night drop box. There was but I had to drive over there to make sure.

Cons:

They told us our appointment was at 12, but the store closed at 12. When we got there a couple minutes late (thinking we wouldn’t even be allowed to pick up the car early) they were closed and we had to go somewhere else to rent a car. Very stressful and disappointing.
