KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Downers Grove

  • If there is one way to make the most of your time in Downers Grove, it would be to make sure you book a low-cost rental car. There are several advantages to doing so. Compared to utilizing public transportation or shuttles, renting a car will guarantee that you may go to the destinations of your choice in the comfort and convenience of your choice. The Patriots Park and Hidden Lake Forest Preserve are just two of the lovely locations in Downers Grove where you may go and enjoy yourself. Furthermore, you will be able to extend your vacation so that you may spend more time seeing the city.
  • If you are going to Downers Grove and are considering flying there, the main airport servicing the region is the Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Go to the rental car desks on the Arrivals Lower Level near baggage claim when you arrive at the airport. There are many rental companies in this area, including Thrifty, SIXT, and Alamo. All of these companies provide you with a selection of vehicles, such as compact cars, vans, and SUVs, which you may rent at the airport or anywhere else that is more convenient for you.
  • The majority of the population is made up of families, so bear that in mind while choosing among the cheap car rentals in Downers Grove. Drive very cautiously as a result, both within the town and the outskirts. One way to ensure your safety and the well-being of other commuters is to adhere to speed limits or drive more conservatively than is advised. Additionally, this guarantees the security of children utilizing highways, particularly those in suburban regions. Be aware of the numerous bicycles and riders in the city as well because you share certain traffic entitlements with them.
  • When you book a cheap vehicle in Downers Grove, you should be mindful that sometimes it might be difficult to get about the city, both inside and outside of it. If you want to drive into the city, you should be cautious of the peak hour traffic, which begins around 7:10 and lasts until 9:30. To lessen the stress of becoming caught in traffic, you should drive cautiously between the periods of 3:40 and 6:50 in the evening.
  • Book your car hire in Downers Grove at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini hire cars in Downers Grove are around 6% more expensive than other car types, on average

Lilly was very helpful and friendly at pickup. Ben was great on the phone when I had to extend the rental by 8 days. A great rental experience at a very reasonable price.

Cons:

Arrived at 2 PM to pick up my car. Tendon claims there were no cars on the lot to come back at 4 PM. Pawn my return there were still no cars and had to wait an additional hour and a half. This way time of 3 1/2 hours is inconsiderate and unacceptable. I chose hurts because of the name and their reputation. It was a complete let down of my expectations andShould have chosen another company! This weekend was my sons graduation from medical school and this certainly affected it negatively

Pros:

The pick up and drop off was simple.

Cons:

The staff kept trying to push insurance on us, even though we told them we didn't want it. They told us to bring the car back in the same condition as we got it, but did not document all the scratches and dents that were already on the car. I had to force them to document it so I wouldn't get charged later. Finally, it was evident that the car was not washed, and I had to ask them to wash it for me.

Pros:

Staff at Enterprise was fine

Cons:

Car was dirty inside and out. Not a good situation in a pandemic. Passenger seat would not recline. Stuck in the upright position. I understand we’re in a pandemic everybody is stretched to the limits however I could’ve paid $10 more and gotten a clean car with functioning seats. Would appreciate a partial credit for my trouble. Disappointing.
