I got the other car, I did not opted for it, the breaks were horrible and it was a risk travelling with 2years old kid. As I was struck in Chicago and wanted to earliest leave to Toronto the guys there did not offer me anything g I demanded and I paid huge amount for what j never asked for.

Enterprise always offers better service. On this rental, the guy offered me a choice of SUVs and (when I explained I was picking up my kid from college) said he could substitute a minivan at the same price. That worked better for me so I ended up in a nice, new hybrid minivan for the long ride.

I paid a specific price for the car through Kayak/Priceline. The cost let Hertz select the vehicle. 1. They gave me a small vehicle (despite a lot of inventory) 2. They charged me 30 percent MORE than I paid! I understood the price I pre-paid was paid in full. If I had know it was going to be 30% higher for a compact car, I would have gone elsewhere for price and vehicle certainty! Awful experience, especially as a business traveler!!

Reserved and prepaid for a car more than two weeks in advance the. Was told when I got there that they were out of cars. I waited for over an hour to get a car. When I went to the garage they had double booked that same car. Someone was already in my car. The attendant was able to get me a car but it was a Jeep Wrangler, not exactly the economy car with good gas mileage I had requested. First and last time with Payless. It wasn’t any cheaper than the big guys after they added their counter fee and other service fees to the bill.

The staff were all great. ORD's new system, where the airport provides shuttles to a new building where all the on-airport rental companies are located, gets rid of the "whose shuttles are best" problem. Our Hyundai Sonata only had about 2400 miles on it, and it was in pretty much perfect condition.Nit-pick: When cleaning the cars, go a little easy on the air "freshener".

All in all, rental experience was good. Pick up at O'Hare airport was slow. A very long line at Dollar. It could have been due to the holiday weekend. But surprisingly, there was not long lines at the other rental companies. Everyone seemed to be going to Dollar.

It let me book knowing they didn't have any inventory. Seriously Wtf. There were many people that were affected by this. After booking, traveling to the the dollar counter, and then standing in line for 40 minutes the lady in line told us that if we booked today that they didn't have a car for us. What is terrible is that their site always shows inventory - I checked it after that whole experience.
2.0 MediocreMay 17 2022
Long Wait for pick up, told at the Register that the car booked was unavailable and to have it must wait for additional hours was a night mare. To save the time we had to upgrade and Pay more , was unexpected and unacceptable. A little courtesy to inform the status of the car ,would have been helpful. To pay the Money I paid , any other comapnay would have brought the car to the Terminal ---- The long wait and asked for addtional wait and availability of an upgraded car ---- all seemed a scam.

The car I requested required a 90 minute wait. Not happening after a six hour red eye flight. The only car they had was an exorbitantly priced SUV that, because I needed it for two extra days, end up costing me close to $700. NEVER. DOING. BUSINESS. WITH. KAYAK. AGAIN.

Counter staff were friendly. Car was great and good to drive. The remaining price to pay at pickup was 210. Lady at pickup counter was very friendly but took advantage of our flight tiredness and we never were told or shown the total remaining amount to pay. Later looking at the receipt it was 565. We were told it is not possible to rent without taking the LIS (150). We were told about Chicago toll charges and that she can enable to auto toll device, and I said we probably only need this twice as we were going South to Indiana, so she enabled it and I thought it just added tolls to your bill as you pass toll gates but instead this was a daily addition of 11.49 totalling to 68.89. Luckily on return I got them to remove this fee as I manually created a number plate account with the toll company for the rental period (8 in total for the trip instead). I used the Fuel Purchase Option which they said was 4 dollars per litre, which made it sound like they were only going to charge you for each litre they had to fill the tank but instead this is a flat 77.69, which is about 10 more than the capacity of the tank x 4 per litre. On return they were good to remove the unfair toll charges applied. So in the end I paid 474 instead of the 210 I expected according to Kayak. I think the price at pickup needs to cover everything to avoid all the surprises (and avoid being taken advantage of).

There was a line of 100 people and only two employees working behind the counter at O'HARE location in Chicago ( meanwhile the other car rental companies next to them had 5 or 6 people working behind the counter) .. I waited in line 2 hours and 30 minutes and it was miserable because I already had a reservation at noon because I had to to to a wedding that day like 4 hours away .. A lots of nasty actitud from the people working for "thrifty" .. on top of that they FORCE me to pay an extra 30 dollars a day for my car rental otherwise I'll have to wait for an undisclosed amount of time because according to them they didn't have cars available. But after I paid the extra money the car was available . This was so disrespectful

The one pleasant experience was Shahidah at at the desk when I rented the car. She was very helpful explaining how the toll system had changed in Illinois.She was extremely Professional. Now for the bad. The car stunk. A foul oder was masked by air freshener. After 1.5 hours the air freshener wore off. The car smelled as if someone had changed dirty diapers in the back. In addition, anytime you applied the brakes above 60mph the steering shuttered. I was told I could return the car , but Indianapolis is along way from Chicago. I would spend one day of my vacation driving to Chicago and back. I am afraid this will be the last time I use Fox!

An awful experience. Apparently there was some fine print with Priceline restricting where I could drive the vehicle. Because I was driving 2 hours to a nearby state they refused to rent the vehicle. I have no idea where this fine print was in the reservation process but there was no transparency. It was 10pm on Friday night of a holiday weekend and I had to go to one of the big 3 rental agencies and pay the walk up rate. Guess what, the walk up rate was exactly the same as what Fox offered through Priceline. I will never book with Fox again (or go through Priceline).

Was a horrible experience. We were renting for a a graduation party out of state. When we came to pick up the vehicle they wouldn't allow us to pick up the vehicle because we live in Chicago but that was all clearly noted in the reservation. Kayak should really make sure that if this is Routes policy that they don't allow the reservation to be made with Routes. They also additionally charged me a days rental for a reservation they didn't allow me to complete. Don't walk away RUN!

The place only rents cars to airline travelers. No mention of this on the website. When you get there they turn you away and don’t refund your money.

The pickup process was really really unfortunate. It took over an hour from when I started walking to figure out where to go to actually getting the car. Probably closer to 90 minutes. I might've been able to go faster if I hadn't taken the train to the car rental terminal, but I didn't really understand where I was supposed to go. 20 minutes'ish on the train + walk. I waited for the shuttle around 30 minutes, despite the "10 minutes" statement on the phone. 10 minute drive + waiting for everyone to get in. Check in was relatively quick but at least 10 minutes until I had keys in my hand. Another 5 minutes waiting in line to get the car scratch document updated to cover the gouges in a couple places. The car was nice, and though it had a cigarette smell it was very clean. I however would never rent from them again, despite potentially saving $10 or whatever it was.

I had to cancel my reservation because they do not rent to locals. It was an inconvenient situation but the cancellation process was easy.

After booking With Routes through Kayak(Rental cars.com), my friend starts sending me reviews. I start really worrying I have made a mistake -_-. I read the rental agreement and call the next day to put my mind at ease and the lady on the phone is super nice and helpful and answers all my questions. We get to the airport and you take the rental car shuttle to where all the rental companies are BUT then you wait for the routes shuttle bus that takes you to their company. You need the same stuff to pick up this rental that I have needed for Enterprise and Avis so I don’t know why people have such a problem. Drivers license, major credit card (not debit), proof of insurance, and flight return info if flying in and out. The guy behind the counter was super nice, gave me an option between two cars. I picked a super cute teal Jeep Wrangler!! Always get the toll pass in Chicago!! Some of their tolls don’t have people OR don’t even accept change so they will bill you later plus a 30-50$ fee I believe. Return was awesome and easy and they drove us straight to our departing flight company’s terminal! Great experience for a third of the price and I will definitely rent from them again!

Absolutely ridiculous you have to show a return flight ticket to get a car.

I really suggest including on Kayak that this particular car agency only provides rentals if they have round trip flights out of O'Hare and this was only after calling the location to verify this. After finding out this information I called customer service where I paid in advance and they said they could not refund me my payment because this was listed on the booking information. This was not. Even on the website I was transferred to, to make payment. So yeah, this could have been way better.

Good price is the only positive about my experience.Pick up and drop off is awful. You must take the rental shuttle to the main rental terminal off site, then call for their own shuttle to take you further off site. I waited an additional 25 minutes for the extra shuttle. Furthermore there was no urgency. Van wasn’t washed until we checked in

The worst car rental experience ever!Absolutely nothing!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.

Horrible experienceNothingMy reservation was cancelled after I moved it from 12pm to 3 pm and the agent was completely rude and the manager’s only response was to let him know who I spoke to in order to change my reservation!

When I arrived at the counter they told me they couldn’t do the one way rental I had booked. They even said they didn’t even have an office at the booked drop off location (MSP). After trying 5 other agencies we went back as I had canceled my family’s flights after securing the booking and I had no way to get to my destination. Then they acquiesced and let us have the booking at a higher price. Turns out they do have a full scale office at MSP. If you don’t want to provide the service don’t allow a third party to book it. Unacceptable.

The staff was happy to see and serve me. Good customer service.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.

Top tips for hiring a car at Chicago O'Hare Intl 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. Try to avoid these hours if possible and take advantage of the late-morning, early-afternoon lull, to ensure a smoother process without the extra congestion.
  • Book your car hire at Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
