We have good news! You should be given a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours ahead of pickup time. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through the rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Northwest Chicago?
Dart around in a mini, splash out on a premium ride or go for something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact vehicle — the top pick in Northwest Chicago. They're a cinch to park and handle, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're road-tripping around big cities. A step up from economy, you can expect slightly more comfort and room while still getting a wonderful deal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Northwest Chicago?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Northwest Chicago is 21. A surcharge for young drivers usually applies, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules vary between suppliers, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Northwest Chicago?
While booking conditions may differ between car rental outlets, the two main things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Northwest Chicago?

Where can I find a Northwest Chicago car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Managed to find a Northwest Chicago supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Northwest Chicago?
It's a good idea to have collision protection to safeguard your Northwest Chicago car rental against accident damage, theft and vandalism.
