KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Oak Park

  • Booking a rental car at one of the car rentals in Oak Park is the best decision you can make if you are looking to make the most of your time in the city. With a car, you'll have more time to plan your trip and the freedom to visit whatever attractions you want, whether in the city or the surrounding areas. Within the city, you can drive a short distance to the famed Prairie-style architect's home, Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, or the famous Unity Temple designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. You can visit the Oak Park Conservatory, an exotic plant and wildlife showroom, or the Oak Park River Forest Museum a few miles outside of town.
  • Renting a car at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the primary airport serving Oak Park, is easy as the airport has car rental desks for major car rental agencies like Avis, Enterprise, Thrifty, and Budget. A shuttle bus connects the airport's three terminals to the car rental facility, where these car rental companies have their lots. O'Hare International Airport is 9 miles from Oak Park, and the drive will take between 10 and 15 minutes, depending on traffic.
  • Driving your rental car in Oak Park is not difficult if you follow all the traffic laws. Children under eight years must be restrained in an approved child seat, such as a booster seat or front and rear-positioned harness seat. Children under twelve can ride in a booster seat with a shoulder and lap belt. Due to Oak Park's proximity to Chicago, roads can become extremely congested when the Cubs, White Sox, or Bulls play at Wrigley Field or the United Center, so be aware and plan an alternate route if these teams are playing.
  • The roadways in Oak Park will be congested during rush hour, much like other small towns near Chicago. On weekdays, rush hour peaks between 7 am to 9 am when people are going to work and 5 am to 7 pm when people are rushing back home. Avoid all major highways coming into the city at the specified time, and use the GPS navigation devices in your car to locate alternate routes to avoid being stuck in traffic. It's important to pay attention to the growing number of vehicles and bicyclists on the road. Remember that turning right at a red light is permitted unless otherwise stated.

  • What is the speed limit in Oak Park?

    In Oak Park, various roads have various posted speed limits. In the heart of the city and typical residential areas, the posted speed limit is 30 mph. On urban roadways, the maximum speed allowed for motor vehicles is 55 mph. The posted speed limit on rural interstates outside Oak Park is 70 mph.

Pros:

The individuals at the location were very helpful and thorough throughout the pickup and dropoffs, with clear details about the rental. They were even nice enough to let me leave again to fill up the cars tank after I had forgotten to do so prior to dropoff. Nice individuals!

Cons:

It would have been nice to know how much the additional insurance would be instead of being hit with the price on the spot, adding to the overall total.

Drop off was fast and cheaper than expected.

Pros:

I request I truck they just have one to rent and even I ordered in advance they give to the person who was right before me. So frustrating since I have to be waiting outside for 40 minutes which is understandable but I was so frustrated that they don’t say nothing until that moment of the ranting and also no more options of that type of vehicle nowhere else.

Cons:

Have more vehicles to rent or have alternative options in other branches.

Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

On the pickup date they had me waiting for the car and wen they finally had it the told me it needed an oil change and if I wanted the car right away I would have to take the car myself to do the oil change, otherwise I had to wait longer. The car was not even vacuumed or washed wen i got it. Also wen i got to my destination I noticed that the plate sticker was expired. When I told them about it they told me I could have driven it like that and if I have gotten a ticket they would have paid for it.

Pros:

Cons:

Line of people waiting. Then they asked for a major credit card for my second driver which she does not have and has not had this request before when signing up as a second driver. Didn't have time to deal with it. Took my own car. Also - We learned that there is no night drop-off. Will not be using this location again.

KAYAK

Pros:

The patience the team displayed with me was awesome and heart warming! Due to a mistake with the call center I wasn't fully prepared for my rental as far as full documentation- Stacey was extremely patient as I scrambled to find someone to help me out with my rental, all in all I was at the office from about 8 am - 4 pm on CHRISTMAS EVE! Thanks guys it's hard to find patience and good customer service nowadays- you gave me hope this Christmas Season!

Cons:

The stipulations with renting, another form needs to be added; or more forms of credit/debit accepted. My wait was only so long because I was using a pre-paid AMEX. I'm not one to really wholeheartedly trust banks so I use third party pre-paid. Cash should be used and accepted too!

Pros:

The counter clerk was helpful in getting us a car when there were no compact car on the lot but we had to pay more because it was an SUV. Woman who cleans the cars was also very friendly.

Cons:

When we arrived to pick up the car there was no compact cars available and they could not promise when one would come in. They also said there were a lot of other compact reservations ahead of us so they may never have one available. We had to get up to Wisconsin for a show so we could not wait all day. I booked this thinking I was going to have to only pay the $216.44 and ended up having to pay $276.38. Our original transportation for our trip fell through so we had to rent a car last minute. I often use Kayak for airline tickets and thought I would try you for a rental car. I searched for the best price and convenient location and was happy until this fiasco...

Although I did attempt to rent a car from Budget with more than one week ahead of time when I tried to cancel my reservation one day later I was surprised with a charge to my credit card for $50 cancelation fee. I left this was poor customer service and pure spite. I will never attempt to rent from Budget again. What you could have done better is return the $50 cancelation fee. No one else charged a fee.
