KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Oak Lawn

  • The area has very minimal public transportation, so you will find that car rentals in Oak Lawn are typically one of the most convenient ways to move throughout the region. If you choose to have your own Oak Lawn car rentals, you will be able to easily explore the city on your own schedule. You will also be able to visit places that are not located in the city center, such as the Wolfe Wildlife Park, which is around a 20-minute drive away. There is also the Chicago Ridge Mall, which is a little under a 30-minute drive away.
  • If you will be flying, it can be a convenient choice to pick up car rentals in Oak Lawn from Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW). Chicago Midway International Airport’s rental car center can be found at 5150 W. 55th Street. There is a free shuttle service that will take you here 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it picks up travelers from outside of Lower Level Door #2. Some of the rental agencies that you will find here include Alamo, Budget, and Hertz.
  • Before you operate car rentals in Oak Lawn, it is always a good idea to read up on some local driving regulations and rules. For instance, keep in mind that all drivers and passengers are always required to use their seatbelts. If a child is under the age of eight, they are required to be in a proper child’s seat. In the state of Illinois, music coming from a vehicle cannot be heard 75 feet or more from the car.
  • To avoid getting caught in congestion, you will want to make sure that you try not to be on the road during rush hour. In the greater Chicago area, including Oak Lawn, rush hour is generally between 6:00 am and 8:00 am, as well as 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm The area also tends to get quite a bit of rain and snow, so you will want to be particularly careful when driving in these conditions.
  • Book your car hire in Oak Lawn at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size hire cars in Oak Lawn are around 24% more expensive than other car types, on average

there was no car available for rent when we went to pick up the car, and not likely that our selected vehicle (large suv) would be returned. after an hour and a half, we took an uber to our destination and rented from another company.

Pros:

Pickup and dropoff was great

Cons:

The car looked clean but I had cleaning wipes and looks are deceiving. I used a half of container of the cleaning wipes and they was black after cleaning the car after I picked it up. The seats had some stains and brown stuff on them

When I picked up the car, for the first time, I was told that the car had a scratch on it, but that I shouldn't worry because they already know about it. I dropped it off naively thinking everything was OK, but I shortly received a notice in e-mail of a damage claim of a scratch and a dent. I called customer service and found it hard to get a receipt. The representative finally did mention that it may take months to get the bill for the claim. I find it strange that they would rent cars they know are damaged, because it certainly does muddy the waters in case of further damage claims like this.

We have been given a car (Buick Encore) of a lower category than the one booked and paid for. (Mid Suv ex Mazda Cx 5). There was no GPS booked and paid (then discounted from the final price). The explanations at the time of pick up and drop off are too hasty. Bad experience.

I liked that they made it very easy to pick up the vehicle. The cost was great for the vehicle. HOWEVER.......It was DIRTY inside AND outside. The back passenger seat belt was broken behind the front passenger seat. And the hours of operation are horrible to be so close to the airport.

They did not have cars available and wanted to put me in a smaller vehicle than what I paid for then ended up charging me $40 a day for a vehicle that would 5 people. They also included more taxes than what was stated in the agreement. They charged me 2xs at drop off and would not refund me for the 2 charges for $233

The vehicle was very nice plus a low price. Workers at hertz were very hospitable. Only thing could've been better was one tire was low on air and didn't have a cap.

Pros:

The young gentlemen at the front desk counter was very unprofessional and rude. He canceled my reservation and told me that he doesn’t need my business.

Cons:

I honestly think that there is no help for this location. Unless they hire new people who are professional and friendly towards the customers.

The car I wanted was not available although I booked it 2 months in advance. I had to downsize my vehicle and they charged me more money. Not fair at all. I will never rent from a neighborhood rental place again. Especially not an AVIS/BUDGET.
