Car rental in Chicago

Renting a car won't be too much trouble if the three most important conditions are met:

• you are at least 25 years old. Some companies can provide a cheap car rental in Chicago to a tourist who is 21 years old, but it is difficult to find such companies;
• you have a VISA bank card. Unfortunately, it is impossible to rent a car in Chicago without a deposit. The deposit amount is blocked on the bank card and will be returned after you return the car.

Prices for car rental in Chicago start at 35 USD. For that price, you'll get an economy car, such as the Chevrolet Spark. "A mid-range Toyota Corolla or Toyota Rav4 will cost 40 USD, while a luxury car will cost 56 USD. As you can see, car rental in Chicago, as well as in the U.S. as a whole, is one of the most inexpensive in the world.

Where are 24-hour car rentals in Chicago? At the airport buildings. If you book in advance, specify a pickup point at Midway or O'Hare in the online form.

There are plenty of parking lots in Chicago, but all the spaces in the cheap parking lots (3-5 USD per hour) are routinely occupied by locals. So many tourists have to park in 15-20 USD parking lots, where spaces are plentiful.

But watch the signs. If you park in a handicapped spot, you'll have to say goodbye to 250 USD. Fines for traffic violations in the U.S. are very high.
