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.

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.Dollar
