Top Tips for Renting a Van in Champaign
- The best companies to secure Champaign van rentals in central Illinois are Alamo, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and Hertz, which consistently get the best customer reviews in this city. You can find a convenient Enterprise Rent-A-Car location in city center Champaign on Prospect Avenue, just off I-74. There is one Hertz location also in downtown Champaign, which can be easily accessed from I-74, I-57, or I-72, or West Springfield Avenue, which runs east-west through Champaign.
- For those driving Champaign van rentals to the north toward Chicago, you will almost surely run into one of many toll roads in the Chicago area. It is problematic to pay tolls in electronic lanes with your own transponder because the toll often does not register because the name on the transponder account does not correspond to the car's registered owner. In this case, you are assessed a late fee from both the state and the car rental company, which can be quite costly. For this reason, consider investing in your car rental agency’s toll program if you plan to drive your Champaign van rental in the vicinity of Chicago.
- Even though Champaign is rated as one of the best cities to drive in within the state of Illinois, there are still a few things you need to be aware of when driving your van rental through the city. Winter weather can be harsh. So, if you are renting your van anytime from November to March, be prepared to take snow precautions. If it is snowing, add about 15 to 20 extra minutes to your drive time to clear your car of snow and allow all the windows to defrost before you even put the key in the ignition. You also need to drive more slowly because it is harder to break on wet pavement. If it is snowing, listen to local weather reports and try to stick to plowed roads.
- As Champaign is home to the University of Illinois-Champaign, Champaign van rentals are convenient for families traveling to the area in order to visit a son or daughter in the college. A van is also ideal for friends or families taking road trips on one of the many interstates surrounding Champaign. For example, a van makes convenient and comfortable transportation if you're driving to cities such as Peoria to the northwest, Chicago to the northeast, Indianapolis to the east, Louisville to the southeast, or St. Louis to the southwest.

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
Jan 2019
