KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lombard
- Car rentals in Lombard, Illinois, can offer several advantages over relying on public transportation, especially if traveling for leisure or business purposes. A car rental grants you independence from public transport timetables or routes, allowing you to plan your itinerary according to your preferences. In addition, renting a car can save you time, as you won't have to wait for buses or trains to arrive. Additionally, you can travel directly to your destination without multiple transfers, reducing travel time significantly. Most importantly, a car rental allows you to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations like Lilacia Park and The Morton Arboretum, which are not easily accessible via public transport.
- Lombard, Illinois, is served by Chicago O'Hare International (ORD) Airport, about 8.6 miles away. Suppose you intend to hire Lombard car rentals at this facility. In that case, remember that there are no onsite car rental agencies at ORD. However, you can access the off-airport garages via a 24-hour courtesy shuttle run by various car hire companies, including Payless, Thrifty, Avis, Advantage, Alamo, Dollar, and Budget. These shuttles operate outside the baggage claim area at Terminals 1, 2, and 3.
- While driving car rentals in Lombard, Illinois, can be fun and smooth, some motorists may occasionally disregard traffic laws, such as running red lights or stop signs, speeding, or improper lane usage. Similarly, pedestrians may sometimes jaywalk, crossing the street in areas where it is not designated or safe. Jaywalking can increase the risk of accidents, especially if motorists are not expecting pedestrians in those locations. Also, motorists and pedestrians may occasionally fail to yield the right-of-way when required, leading to conflicts and unsafe situations.

Pros:
Ease of booking through Kayak. nothing else.Cons:
When I picked up the car, it was in a seedy location on a lot that was shared with uhaul. my rental was the only budget rental on the lot. The attendant looked like she just woke up in the back, and didn't do a walkthrough to check for damage (and there was a lot!), the car was filthy inside and out and high mileage. There was tobacco and trash inside the car, It smelled horrible inside, and the rental agreement from the previous renter was on the passenger seat. The rental was in chicago area but for some reason the license plate said Florida. It felt like the car was someone's personal car that they just decided to rent out. Also, the price of the rental i found out later was much more than other comparable car rental places in the area. upon returning the car, it was like a cattle call, they didn't say one word just gave me a receipt and walked away. I didn't get a chance to explain how bad the experience was. But I doubt they care.4,0 Mediocre

Jun 2017
Pros:
The car we rented was clean and comfortable.Cons:
We arrived late, they had given away our car and forced us to upgrade at additional cost. They said it was required by the policy to release a reservation if we were over two hours late. However, in all our communications we could not find this policy, nor could the agent. We tried to return the car early but they said there was no early drop-off box at our location, however, four of us saw the drop off box. This forced us to return it to another location far out of our way which also incurred an additional fee. In the fine print, they had hidden multiple excessive fees; a fee to return the car early, a fee if we did not notify them within 24 hours that we were returning it early, a fee to return it to another location, as well as the original increase in price when they gave away our reserved car and forced us to upgrade. When we called to notify them of our early return, using the only customer service number on the papers they gave us, the number sent us to Dollar instead of to Hertz. They tried to transfer us and hung up on us twice. Eventually, we had to dig on the internet to find another number, but the people we talked to at Hertz were no more helpful than those at Dollar. In all the people we talked to in person and on the phone, none of them attempted to resolve our issue or find alternative solutions to our difficulties. They were only interested in using policies to dismiss themselves of responsibility for the issue. If customer service is about trying to help the customer, we received none, only fees, upcharges, inconvenience, and dismissal.2,0 Poor

Cons:
The radio was fuzzy, which sucked because I rented the car for a short road trip and was unable to listen to music. The inside of the car was dirty. Worst of all, the outlet for my car-phone charger was broken. I was worried that my phone would die while i had my GPS running. If I had known the charger port was not working, I would not have rented this car.Car hire locations in or near Lombard
