Car rental in Chicago

Chicago is the largest city in the picturesque state of Illinois, perfect for car rental tourists.

Just 10 miles west of Chicago, car rental is very useful in reaching the suburb of Oak Park. Once home to both famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright and writer Ernest Hemingway, the area offers much of interest. Car rental visitors can look round Lloyd Wright's home and studio, or visit the Hemingway Museum to learn about the respected author's life and work.

We also recommend car rental for a tour of the North Shore. Drive out past the pretty lakeside campus of Northwestern University, stop to look at the Grosse Pointe Lighthouse, then continue on to the Baha'i Temple in Wilmette. The winding roads will eventually take car rental travellers to the Chicago Botanic Garden.

In the neighbouring state of Wisconsin, Milwaukee also makes for a great day out for car rental visitors. The city has reinvented itself and is now the refined and cultured home of the Milwaukee Art Museum and a fascinating local zoo. The city is also the location of the 'House of Harley' - one of the largest Harley Davidson dealerships in the world.

One hour west of Chicago, we advise finishing your car rental tour of the region with a visit to the picturesque town of St Charles. Sitting on the banks of the Fox River, this historic town offers great shopping and sightseeing. Car rental tourists can also take a trip down river on a sleepy Paddlewheel Riverboat Cruise.

Our car rental is Fully Inclusive and your rental price includes all coverage and taxes required for car rental in North America. Or upgrade to Alamo Gold, which includes everything Fully Inclusive car rental does, but you'll also receive a tank of petrol and up to three additional drivers are covered.
