KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Danville

  • There are numerous benefits to using car rentals in Danville over public transportation. Danville car rentals offer you complete control over your trip. You can avoid public transportation's time and route constraints and adapt to spontaneous changes to your itinerary. Furthermore, with a rental car, you can go directly to your destination, enabling you to save time and enjoy your getaway to the fullest. A rental car also provides a personalized travel experience. Personal space, air conditioning, and comfy seats make your vacation more comfortable. Lake Vermilion County Park is a popular site for fishing tournaments and waterfowl hunting that you can best explore with your Danville rental car.
  • Danville is served by the University of Illinois Willard Airport (CMI). Several car rental suppliers have counters at CMI within the terminal across from the baggage claim area. Renters will be asked to present a major credit card, a valid driver's license, and an International Driver's Permit for those whose licenses are in a non-Roman alphabet. Afterward, you will be awarded your rental agreement and keys to your car just outside the baggage claim. Drivers must be at least 21, and a young driver's fee applies to renters ages 21 to 24.
  • Understanding the driving culture and road conditions before using car rentals in Danville is crucial. Drivers are usually polite, and they follow road rules and regulations. However, they can be aggressive during peak traffic hours. Rather than retaliate, stick to defensive driving to avoid causing road rage that may lead to accidents. Danville's roads are in good condition and are regularly maintained, and most of the roads in the urban areas are paved. Danville is in a hilly area, and you may experience many bends and curves, although significant roads like US-150 are straight. In the downtown area, pedestrians are prevalent, but they mostly use sidewalks.
  • Before using car rentals in Danville, you should know that roads are usually packed in the morning from 7 am to 9 am and in the evening from 5 pm to 7 pm. US 150, IL 1, North Vermilion Street, and US 136 are affected during the peak hours, and there is slow vehicle progression. Alternative routes include Gilbert Street, Sycamore Valley Road, Main Street, and Bowman Avenue. Drivers should be particularly cautious when traveling on Danville roads in the winter as they are snow-covered with reduced traction.
  • Book your car hire in Danville at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Danville are around 21% cheaper than other car types, on average

Even though this site "checked to make sure a car was available " when I arrived at the time I chose to rent... no cars were available. I did not get to rent a car that day

My experience using Enterprise was great. The staff was friendly and helpful. They also noticed a screw in the tire during the vehicle pre-inspection. This saved me many troubles on the trip had I experienced the flat during the trip, and it also led to a free upgrade to a nicer vehicle since they didn't have another comparable vehicle on the lot.

They did not have the car we reserved available. We had reserved it for $81. They wanted to rent us an SUV for $450. Said they could not negotiate the price, we canceled the reservation. Did not rent the car, had to find one somewhere else because we could not pay $450.

Everything was fine. It was quite inconvenient that both spouses had to be present for both to be able to drive the vehicle; I’m sure there’s a good reason, but not everywhere has this requirement, so we’ll probably go back to rental services at CMI airport next time. Had to rearrange our whole afternoon last minute and bring our too-young-to-mask-or-vaccinate child in to the building. Drop off would have been better with a prior heads up or better signage regarding leaving the mileage report in the car; I put the keys in the box, then read that I was supposed to put the paperwork in the (locked) car. The car worked out great. Thanks.

The car was about 1/8 below a full tank. And then the car showed that one of the rear tires was very low which I didn’t notice until I was off the lot but it made me a bit nervous while on the highway.

Drop off easy and they ordered a taxi for us

Cons:

I am very unhappy with the insurance I booked on the website as I assumed I would be covered for emergency breakdown but Avis would not accept the emergency breakdown so had to pay again for that. I also already had other travel insurance so just wasted money The policy is misleading

Employee Megan was rude and made comments offensive to my demographic. She forced me to sign for the condition of the car without seeing it. Car was not clean or filled up with gas when I received it. Cleaner was on premises and announced it wasn’t his responsibility and assistant I formed me Megan’s comments and demeanor are « just the way she is. ». I have never been treated like this by a car hire company in any country I’ve rented in. When I called Budget they « made a note » and that was it.

There was no car on the lot for my reservation. They were unable to help me locate a car at another location or with a competitor. I was just on my own to figure it out at the last minute. Reservations should not be allowed to be made or confirmed if they are unable to fulfill them.

The first the Budget rep assigned to me at check-in was a sedan that smelled likecigarette smoke, was beat up looking, and had a warning light up about needing an oil change. The second car the Budget rep assigned to me was an old looking Toyota 4Runner that a worn out break pedal that you had to press down all the way to get it to function, a driver's side passenger door that did not open from the inside of car, and a rear hatchback door that sometimes opened from the outside and sometimes stayed locked no matter how many time you hit unlock on the remote. To add insult to injury, Budget charged about 30-40% more at the Champaign, Illinois location than they charge elsewhere in the U.S. Needless to say, I did foresee that I was going to be visiting rent-a-wreck after paying top dollar to Budget.
