Chicago Airport
O' Hare Airport is the largest of Chicago's two airports, with seven runways and five terminals connected by shuttle buses. More than 800,000 flights take place at O' Hare Airport every year, with almost 80 million passengers departing or arriving at international airports. Regardless of which terminal your flight arrives at, you must first complete the entry formalities and take your baggage off the treadmill before you can pick up your hired car at the pick-up station of your car hire company.
At ORD Airport, every car hire company is accommodated in a car hire center, which can be reached quickly and free of charge by shuttle bus from the arrival terminal. The pick-up point for each hired car provider is located on one of the car parks in the immediate vicinity of Car-Rental-Building.
Car hire at the airport
Both at O' Hare Airport and Midway Airport, the pick-up point is not far from your car hire company. The pick-up points at the airport are located in the car parks around the car hire centers and are within walking distance. Once the formalities have been completed, you will need to check your hired car at the pick-up point. Especially if you have been able to hire a car cheaply, the car has to be checked for functional brakes and lights. In addition, you should have the car hire company include any damage to the body and paintwork that has already been done to the car body and paintwork in a list of defects. The process is extremely important so that the car hire company doesn't hold you responsible when you return the car. It is also important to comply with the US tank regulations. You hire a full tanked vehicle at each of the two airports and your car hire company will be expecting the car with full tank at each airport.
| Petrol station | Distance from Chicago Airport |
|---|---|
| Shell | 2.6 miles |
| BP | 3.1 miles |
| Thornton's | 8.2 miles |
You can reach Chicago by hired car from the airport within minutes on wide highways in good condition. From Midway Airport, drive to city centre Chicago in about 20 minutes via Interstate 55. It takes about 30 minutes by car from ORD Airport to the city center via Interstate 90.
Traffic rules in the US
Cheap car hire always has a positive effect on the holiday funds, and in order to keep it that way, especially in the United States, the traffic rules have to be observed. Ask for the Illinois speed limit at one of the two airports, which is different in each state. Otherwise, the regulations are largely similar to our road traffic regulations. You drive on any lane in America and avoid overtaking if possible. During your stay in Chicago, you must refrain from driving under the influence of alcohol. The police will punish violations rigorously with high fines. For more details on traffic regulations, please contact your hired car provider at O' Hare Airport.
In the city of Chicago, many sightseeing attractions can be easily reached by hired car, but regular traffic jams often spoil the holiday pleasure. One more reason to hire a car at ORD airport and drive it to the surrounding area of the metropolis.
For example, you will have an unforgettable day in the new MB Financial Park Rosemont, which is located near the International Airport O' Hare. Here you can listen to live music by prominent artists, visit a comedy club and enjoy American and international specialties in one of the many restaurants.
A few kilometers outside the metropolis, the small town of Glencoe lies to the north. A visit to the botanical garden is particularly worthwhile. Experience the diversity of nature in a breathtaking landscape with more than 25 theme gardens. With its income, the garden supports veterans of the US Army and their relatives. Therefore, you have to pay a comparatively high parking fee for your hired car, but the visit is worthwhile.
The town is located 90 miles from the metropolis and, due to its numerous sights, is always worth a car trip with a cheaply booked hired car. Enjoy the unique flair of Japanese gardens, visit the Victorian village and visit the world's oldest Harley Davidson workshop.
