KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Algonquin

  • Algonquin offers reliable bus transportation, but the fixed schedules affect your plan to explore the city. Therefore, consider driving Algonquin car rentals for maximum exploration and satisfaction during your stay in the city. You can visit unique attractions near and far from the city, like Anderson Japanese Gardens, about 53 miles away, Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens, about 54 miles away, and Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio, about 41 miles southeast of the city.
  • Several airports serve Algonquin. Milwaukee-Mitchell Airport (MKE) has car rental agencies near the main parking, across the baggage claim area and at Chicago Midway Airport (MDW), car rental agencies are located inside the terminal at the lower level.

The airport offers free shuttle services from the terminal to the car rental offices. These shuttles operate 24/7 for passenger convenience.
  • Most streets in the city are well-paved, marked, and with clear crossroads, but driving car rentals in Algonquin can be tricky because of the busy streets.

Also, the city has some of the most dangerous intersections in the state. Thus, beware when driving on W Algonquin Rd and N Randall Rd and Bunker Hill Dr and Square Bam Rd intersections.
  • The city receives heavy snow during winter. Thus, driving car rentals in Algonquin can be challenging due to the icy roads.

Despite driving a vehicle with quality tires, always maintain a safe distance between vehicles, drive slowly, and keep the headlights on to increase visibility.
