Top tips for hiring a car at Chicago O'Hare Airport
- As one of the world’s busiest airports, a car hire at Chicago O’Hare Intl Airport (ORD) will make a great option to avoid the crowds and busy public transport transit systems, especially if you have a lot of luggage to carry, or you are travelling as a group. It could also work out as a more economical option if you consider the relatively inexpensive fuel prices. At just 17 miles from the centre of Chicago city, you can reach the city in just over 20min directly from Interstate 190, which is conveniently located next to the airport, and you can drive in comfort to your chosen destination.
- The road system around Chicago is exceptionally good and you can connect to many major highways directly from the airport with your hire car. From the Interstate 190 on leaving the airport, you can merge with the Rosemont motorway interchange in just a couple of miles, heading east where you can then connect to other routes in all directions to reach other parts of Illinois. The Interstate 294 will take you to both north and south regions and if you take the Interstate 55, you can explore southern Illinois and connect on to neighbouring Missouri this way. Interstates are wide and well-maintained, making for a smooth journey and Chicago city’s grid-style roads are easy to navigate.
- On your return to drop off your car hire at Chicago O’Hare Intl Airport, you can find a unique multi-level refuelling facility for a quick turn-around and 12 electrical charging points if needed. If you are approaching the airport on Interstate 190, take exit 2A, and the Mannheim Road north ramp, which will lead you back onto Zemke Boulevard to access the fuel points and to return your car hire back to the Multi-Modal facility.
- It may be worth bearing in mind, the busiest times at Chicago O’Hare Airport are usually on a Monday, Thursday, and Friday with most of the traffic between 06:00-08:00 in the morning and again in the afternoon between 15:00-17:00.

Pros:
Alamo staffs were very friendly and helpful. My flight arrived a little earlier. Not sure if that's the reason, but their system shows the total price more than doubled comparing to my reservation receipt. The airport Alamo staff were able to get it fixed.Cons:
Because of the price difference, it took quite some time for the airport Alamo staff to get it resolved. Wish the system, especially for the reservation through 3rd parties, can be more seamless and fewer issues.2,0 Poor

May 2021
Pros:
The only positive things I can say about Fox car rental is one, the person who checked me in was friendly and courteous, number two, the person who checked me in upon my return was friendly and courteous. Their customer service took 45 minutes to answer the phone and the representative was discourteous and condescending. They did a bait and switch with the type of vehicle that I had requested. The vehicle smelled of cigarette smoke, the windshield on the interior was not cleaned. I had to buy a bottle of for breeze and Windex and paper towels to make the car suitable for my trip. I would never ever rent from this company.Cons:
They could be honest with their customer, they could train their customer service representatives to be more customer service oriented. And they should give the customer the type of vehicle that they had requested. It goes back I guess to the old saying, You get what you pay for.4,0 Mediocre

Pros:
Only girl at window was sullen, uninterested in her job, and abrupt. I was the only customer at that late hour. She charged me $150.00 deposit on top of the rental charge. I have not yet been reimbursed and don’t know to whom I should demand my deposit back.Cons:

The counter agent was very rude. We waited for 45 minutes in the line. When we finally got to him, he told us we would have to wait 45 to 90 minutes until our car would be ready unless we upgrade by paying additional $18/day. After he rang the charges , it showed $19/ day. It gets worse. After driving for two hours, the car had engine light. We called the emergency roadside service, I was put on hold for 30 minutes. Next day, the car condition got worse, we drove back to the airport to change the car because the car had trouble starting. When we returned to the airport, the counter agent was at the return center. He was rude. He did not apologize.2,0 Poor

Dec 2018
Pros:
Absolutely nothing!Cons:
This location is super shady with their pricing. Why do you, as KAYAK and priceline.com, allow this company to post on your website that unlimited miles are included in their pricing without an asterisk or something to let the consumer know there’s an actual restriction for in-state customers before reserving the vehicle? I was already under pressure to get this vehicle for the holiday trip my family and I were having to NYC. I had to find out at the store that was 30 minutes away from me. Lastly, the staff there was super rude, and had their lines ready to justify their shady practices. Not once did they apologize. They just went to the fine print to clear themselves. I mean, how many people read the fine print on their cellphone contacts, new phone policy, or new credit card policy? I bet not many do. That's why you post that restriction on the front, so people can make the right choice right away and not waste time. I’ve had bad experience renting vehicles, but this takes the cake.2,0 Poor

The staff was happy to see and serve me. Good customer service.Cons:
Even though I called ahead, there were no full-sized trucks on the lot when I arrived. They had to get one from some auxiliary lot and drive it in for me. The truck they grabbed had not been properly cleaned - filthy steering wheels and side windows so dirty that I could not see the side mirrors. National made up for this by giving me a free day of rent (refund), and a deep apology from the management. So I will try them again next time.9,6 Wonderful
