KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Des Plaines

  • Getting about is made much easier with a car rental in Des Plaines. There are gaps in service in public transit, like the Metro bus system, and several routes do not operate on holidays, weekends, or weekends. Indeed, this is most evident in the case of the Metro buses. A further argument for automobile rental is that certain bus lines only run during rush hour. If you want to see more of Sioux City and the surrounding area than you could on foot or with public transit, renting a vehicle is your best bet.
  • The Orlando (MCO) Airport desk is your best bet when reserving a car rental in Des Plaines. Rental car giants, including Avis, Budget, Thrifty, and Hertz, are represented. This makes car rental at this airport a sensible option. Vehicle rental firms often mandate a minimum age of 18. A credit card in good standing and a driver's license are also necessities. You will also require an International Driver's Permit if you are not a U.S. or U.K. citizen.
  • Because of the city's excellent road maintenance and the typically courteous behavior of those who drive on those roads, navigating with car rentals in Des Plaines is a breeze. Since the main roads in the city all travel through densely populated regions, drivers must exercise extreme caution. When driving in Sioux City, leave at least three seconds of space between your car and the one in front of you, signal your turns early and loudly, and remain in your lane. Doing these things will help lessen the anxiety you feel while driving.
  • Drivers of Des Plaines car rentals must be conscious that pedestrians often cross intersections without first checking both directions for oncoming traffic. When navigating around Des Plaines, there are certain periods of the day during which the likelihood of encountering heavy traffic congestion on a number of the city's highways is higher. The central business district is often the location of the worst traffic bottlenecks. Most people who travel by car like to go on the road between seven and nine in the morning or between four and six in the evening.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Des Plaines are around 44% cheaper than other car types, on average

If you want to travel entirely by yourself, you may want to think about renting a vehicle rather than purchasing one so that you can save money on the expenses associated with transportation. However, if you are going on a vacation with more than two people, it is imperative that you hire a minivan. The places that you want to go to throughout your trip need to play a role in determining the kind of rental automobile that you choose. It is to your best advantage to hire a mid-size SUV if you have plans to go to locations that can only be accessible utilizing transportation designed for use off-road.

  • What's the speed limit in Des Plaines?

    Due to the ubiquity of high-tech video cameras placed along several of the city's roads, motorists in Des Plaines should exercise extreme caution and drive safely. In Des Plaines, Illinois, you may find various speed restrictions posted. In most metropolitan areas, the speed limit is 50 mph, whereas outside urban areas, it drops to 40 mph.

Travis and the rest of the Hertz staff were excellent. Very attentive, kind, resourceful, and able to address anything that came up, even when a bad winter storm had hit the area.
