Top tips for renting a car from National in Chicago
- When planning a trip to Chicago, opting for a mid-size SUV for your rental can be a wise choice considering the city's roadways and weather conditions. Chicago boasts a well-maintained network of highways, but it's important to note that the city's streets can be narrower and more congested than in some other metropolitan areas. A mid-size SUV such as the Honda Pilot or similar offers both maneuverability and comfort, as well as versatility for Chicago’s range of weather conditions.
- Visitors to Chicago looking to rent a vehicle for their stay should note that the local traffic conditions can be particularly dense and challenging at times, especially during rush hours. The city experiences heavy congestion on major expressways like the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/I-94), Dan Ryan Expressway (I-90/I-94), and the Eisenhower Expressway (I-290), particularly during weekday mornings from 7 am to 9 am and evenings from 4 pm to 7 pm. Downtown Chicago, especially around the Loop area, can be particularly busy due to its status as a major business and commercial hub.
- Parking is another consideration to be made for those renting a vehicle in Chicago. The city provides a diverse range of parking options from prevalent metered spaces throughout its streets, to a number of parking garages and lots in the bustling downtown district, like the Grant Park North Garage. These facilities offer both hourly and daily rates, providing a secure and hassle-free parking solution. We recommend that visitors download free and convenient parking apps like SpotHero, ParkWhiz, or ParkChicago to ensure that they can find suitable solutions for their specific needs.
- Visitors to Chicago who choose to rent a vehicle through the National agency are offered a roadside assistance plan aimed at providing them with a sense of security during their rental period. This plan operates 24/7, ensuring that help is readily available at all times. It covers a range of potential issues, including towing services. The plan even extends to emergency medical and legal referrals if necessary.
- Book your rental car from National in Chicago at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price.
- Intermediate rental cars from National in Chicago are around 35% cheaper than other car types, on average.
