Cheap car rentals at Champaign University-Willard airport
Top tips for renting a car at Champaign University-Willard airport
- A great feature of traveling to a smaller airport such as this is that the customer service counters and the rental cars available for rent are all on-site and easy to access. To find the customer service counters for the rental car companies that operate at this airport, you can proceed right from the baggage claim area to their location inside the terminal building. Once you have picked up your contract and your keys, you will find your car rental at Champaign University-Willard Airport (CMI) just outside the exit for baggage claim in the adjacent parking lots.
- Returning a car rental at Champaign University-Willard Airport is as easy as renting the car in the first place. As you approach the airport on Highway 45 there will be ample signage showing you where the airport complex is. Once you are there, head to the same parking lot where you picked up your rental car and then park the car, note your mileage and gas level, lock the car, and then drop your contract and your keys in the provided lock box for your rental car provider.
- Even though this is a smaller airport serving a relatively small town, there are still a couple of transportation options to get you from the airport to the center of the city. This includes public bus service as well as taxi service from the airport. The problem with the public bus is that it's not set up for a large group of travelers that may be carrying a lot of luggage. A taxi is a good option unless you need to make several trips during your stay, at which point the cost is going to get exorbitant. When you take all that into account, you will see that a car rental at Champaign University-Willard Airport is a great choice for transportation.
- Because this is a smaller airport, the airport is generally not overly busy, making getting a Champaign University-Willard Airport car rental an easy procedure. That said, you will find busier times during the morning and evening rush-hour periods, especially on a Friday afternoon when people may be traveling into the city for a weekend. That makes the idea of making a reservation with one of the on-site rental car companies a great idea, so you know that there will be a car waiting for you upon your arrival at this airport.

Drop off easy and they ordered a taxi for usCons:
I am very unhappy with the insurance I booked on the website as I assumed I would be covered for emergency breakdown but Avis would not accept the emergency breakdown so had to pay again for that. I also already had other travel insurance so just wasted money The policy is misleadingBudget
