Top tips for renting a car at Champaign University-Willard airport
- A great feature of traveling to a smaller airport such as this is that the customer service counters and the rental cars available for rent are all on-site and easy to access. To find the customer service counters for the rental car companies that operate at this airport, you can proceed right from the baggage claim area to their location inside the terminal building. Once you have picked up your contract and your keys, you will find your car rental at Champaign University-Willard Airport (CMI) just outside the exit for baggage claim in the adjacent parking lots.
- Returning a car rental at Champaign University-Willard Airport is as easy as renting the car in the first place. As you approach the airport on Highway 45 there will be ample signage showing you where the airport complex is. Once you are there, head to the same parking lot where you picked up your rental car and then park the car, note your mileage and gas level, lock the car, and then drop your contract and your keys in the provided lock box for your rental car provider.
- Even though this is a smaller airport serving a relatively small town, there are still a couple of transportation options to get you from the airport to the center of the city. This includes public bus service as well as taxi service from the airport. The problem with the public bus is that it's not set up for a large group of travelers that may be carrying a lot of luggage. A taxi is a good option unless you need to make several trips during your stay, at which point the cost is going to get exorbitant. When you take all that into account, you will see that a car rental at Champaign University-Willard Airport is a great choice for transportation.
- Because this is a smaller airport, the airport is generally not overly busy, making getting a Champaign University-Willard Airport car rental an easy procedure. That said, you will find busier times during the morning and evening rush-hour periods, especially on a Friday afternoon when people may be traveling into the city for a weekend. That makes the idea of making a reservation with one of the on-site rental car companies a great idea, so you know that there will be a car waiting for you upon your arrival at this airport.
- Book your rental car at Champaign University-Willard airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

May 2019
Pros:
Fast and efficient service. Friendly staff. Excellent choice and condition of vehicles. The pick up location had a choice of vehicles we could take and when we indicated we have lots of luggage, the staff correctly suggested the Ford Explorer. Kudos to the staff.Cons:
Perhaps there could be a small map with arrows indicating the exact drop-off location. Sometimes Google maps will not bring you to the exact location but somewhere there and in a city like Chicago, you have to figure out the exact spot by going around in circles4.0 Mediocre
