KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Algonquin

  • Algonquin offers reliable bus transportation, but the fixed schedules affect your plan to explore the city. Therefore, consider driving Algonquin car rentals for maximum exploration and satisfaction during your stay in the city. You can visit unique attractions near and far from the city, like Anderson Japanese Gardens, about 53 miles away, Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens, about 54 miles away, and Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio, about 41 miles southeast of the city.
  • Several airports serve Algonquin. Milwaukee-Mitchell Airport (MKE) has car rental agencies near the main parking, across the baggage claim area and at Chicago Midway Airport (MDW), car rental agencies are located inside the terminal at the lower level. These airports offer free shuttle services to car rental offices. Most flights land at Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD), which is the busiest and with more flight demands. Several car rental agencies, including Dollar, Enterprise, National, and Budget, are located in the Multi-Modal Facility (MMF). The airport offers free shuttle services from the terminal to the car rental offices. These shuttles operate 24/7 for passenger convenience.
  • Most streets in the city are well-paved, marked, and with clear crossroads, but driving car rentals in Algonquin can be tricky because of the busy streets. Residents are sometimes busy going to restaurants and shopping. That's why you need to drive slowly to ensure pedestrian safety. Also, the city has some of the most dangerous intersections in the state. Thus, beware when driving on W Algonquin Rd and N Randall Rd and Bunker Hill Dr and Square Bam Rd intersections.
  • The city receives heavy snow during winter. Thus, driving car rentals in Algonquin can be challenging due to the icy roads. The wheels of the vehicle can skid because of the slippery roads, making the vehicle lose control. That's why you need to choose car rentals with winter tires with a better grip on the road. Despite driving a vehicle with quality tires, always maintain a safe distance between vehicles, drive slowly, and keep the headlights on to increase visibility.
  • Compact hire cars in Algonquin are around 80% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Algonquin?

    Most city roads are narrow and have many intersections, and you can find several tight corners. Driving a small car makes maneuvering through these roads easier and ensures a successful journey. The best thing about driving small cars is their stability and ease of overtaking other vehicles. However, ensure your vehicle has a spacious interior to accommodate luggage and items you need during your trip.

  • What’s the speed limit in Algonquin?

    The speed limit on highways, if not posted, is 70 mph. If driving near school zones, the speed limit is 20 mph, especially on active school days, mainly between 7 am and 4 pm. When driving on alleys, the maximum speed limit is 15 mph and 70 mph on rural freeways. On urban freeways, maintain a speed limit of 65 mph. If driving on divided roads, the maximum speed is 65 mph and 55 mph on undivided roads. When driving car rentals in Algonquin, maintain the speed limits on the speed limit signs to promote road safety.

  • Where are the best places to park in Algonquin?

    You can find spacious parking spaces downtown. However, sometimes parking can be difficult because of street congestion. Several parking garages and lots charge cheap rates. Woodscreek Commons and Algonquin Galleria offer free parking for 2 hours on weekdays. If you park at Metra Pingree Road Station, Main St North Lot, and Metra Crystal Lake Station-Elsworth St Lot, charge around $1.50 every 2 hours. Metra Big Timber Station and Metra Fox River Grove Station charge around $1.50 for 2 hours but are restricted to customers. If you find a parking spot outside the city, you can get into the city using buses that offer reliable public transportation on various routes.
