KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Gurnee

  • Getting car rentals in Gurnee can go a long way in improving your overall city experience. This is because a car rental can help you visit countless places flexibly and conveniently without too much hassle. For instance, if you want to check out the Six Flags Great America amusement park, you can just drive there. Similarly, if you plan on checking out the Lincoln Park Zoo or the Waukegan Municipal Beach, a car rental could improve the experience. You get to decide the date and time to make your trips, and there is no need to worry about getting to the bus or train station on time to catch your bus or train.
  • When flying to Gurnee, your most likely landing airport will be O’Hare International Airport in Chicago. Being one of the main airports serving the state of Illinois, this airport hosts multiple rental companies, including some of the most popular names like Alamo, Avis, Enterprise, National, Budget, Payless, and Sixt, among others. For that reason, you should consider getting your Gurnee car rental from the airport instead of paying for other means of transport to downtown Gurnee in order to pick up your rental from there. Each agency at the airport provides a free shuttle from the arrivals area to their respective rental shops, so be sure to look out for the shuttle bearing your rental company’s logo.
  • While driving in Gurnee is relatively easy, navigating some of these streets can be difficult. This is why you should consider getting a GPS installed on your car rentals in Gurnee. Such a system will help you quickly navigate these streets, and you will have a good sense of direction when visiting some of the attractions in the city.
  • Traffic is often a challenge in Gurnee, especially during rush hours in the morning and evening. When planning your trips around the city, avoid getting on the road between 4 pm and 6 pm since traffic is usually worst around such times, and you could easily end up stuck on the road for up to an hour. You should also know that none of the toll roads in the city accept cash payments, so prepare accordingly with a pass if you plan to use these toll roads.

Most roads in the urban and residential districts have a limit of 30 mph. It is important to remember that in areas where the speed limit is posted on a sign, that overrules any other statutory limits.

  • Where are the best places to park in Gurnee?

    Finding a parking spot in Gurnee is relatively easy as there are loads of street parking spaces as well as parking lots and garages around the city. For short-term parking, street parking in the business district is a good choice as you only pay for the short duration that your car was parked. However, if you’re looking to park your car for longer than two hours, the parking lots at Gurnee Mills and Grand Hunt Center offer a great choice.

I had rented the vehicle three weeks before I got there and it was confirmed on rental cars.com but when I got to hertz they told me they had no vehicle for me nor did they even care so I called rental cars.com and they told me since I didn’t pay for it upfront there’s really no reason they felt responsible that I should have one. That’s how Hertz and rental cars.com treated me.

Cons:

The pickup we rented, 2020 Chevy Silverado just didn't have the options we were hoping for. 1. Rear seat lighters for cell charges. 2. Electric seat adjustment. 3. Electric windows were not one push up and down. We had to hold the button to make it do that. 4. Blue tooth radio was difficult to operate. (Android Auto) not intuitive. It would take over and cut out in the middle of trying to follow GPS.

Pros:

Yes the drop off was easy. The car that I used surprised me at how well it responded, the model was an Elantra that is good on gas and runs great.

Cons:

What could have been better was having my I pass device in a location that was detectable when going through the tolls, I got dinged 3 times because it was not read. That was my fault.

Thought I was renting a Chrysler Pacifica, but got a Dodge Grand Caravan with 30K miles instead. Disappointing.

May 2021

Cons:

First, it was almost impossible to even find the Avis office, which we eventually learned was located inside a CLOSED shopping mall. After 2 phone calls we were directed to some side door that was barely marked, that let us into a storage room, and then behind the Avis counter. Thank God I did not need the car to get to the airport at this time, I would have been a nervous wreck. Then the vehicles windows were absolutely filthy both inside and out. I had to stop at a service station down the road to clean them myself. When I dropped the car off at your O'Hare facility, I was frantically waved into a line of cars, barely got my suitcase out of the trunk when a receipt was thrust into my face and the young man was off to the cars behind me that were filling in fast. I had to run after him to ask him where I was supposed to go from there because I found myself literally surrounded by vehicles in every direction and no signs of an office. This young man clearly needed a lot more help if he was going to be able to provide even common courtesy let alone assistance. Seriously, the entire experience was very unorganized, unprofessional, and unpleasant. But thank you for asking and allowing me to share my experience with you.
