KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Pekin

  • You can never go wrong with Pekin car rentals when you visit Illinois, USA. This small city in the suburbs of Illinois features a wide selection of attractions and unique adventures. You are better off exploring these bustling destinations with car rentals in Pekin. While the city boasts incredible public transportation, it relies on preset plans and gets crowded and uncomfortable. But with your car rentals in Pekin, getting to your destinations on time is guaranteed because everything depends on you. You can stop at Powerton Fish and Wildlife Area, Aranti’s Dome, Pekin Riverfront Park, Mineral Springs Park, and Dragonlad.
  • Greater Peoria Airport (PIA) is the nearest airport to Pekin, about 11 miles from the city center. If you fly into the city, you will likely land here. The airport has several car rental agencies operating car rental desks on-site. The popular agencies include Easirent, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, and National. The counters are to the west of the lower level of the airport. Renting a car at the airport lets you begin adventuring the city immediately after landing.
  • Generally, driving your car rentals at Pekin is an easy and enjoyable experience, thanks to well-established and maintained roads. The drivers are generally patient, and bikers adhere to all traffic regulations strictly. But pay attention to jaywalkers, especially around populated areas like business and residential zones, as pedestrians occasionally overlook crosswalk rules. Approach roundabouts and intersections carefully by slowing down. Also, pay attention when driving at night, especially on poorly lit roads.
  • Like other cities in Illinois, Pekin experiences dense traffic during rush hours due to brimming streets with vehicles. Several residents access the city with private vehicles, causing bumper-to-bumper traffic during rush hours. Usually, the city experiences rush hours from 6:30 am to 10 am and from 4 pm to 7 pm. Driving during peak travel hours is not recommended to avoid bumping into traffic snarl-ups.
  • Economy hire cars in Pekin are around 55% cheaper than other car types, on average
