KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Urbana

  • Renting a car from car rentals in Urbana has several advantages over relying on the city's mass transportation options. Unlike public options using pre-determined and fixed routes, a rental car ensures more flexibility. Renting a car lets you plan your trip to your liking, unlike public means having almost fixed departure and arrival schedules. Additionally, renting a car in the city provides you with much-needed privacy for your trip. Getting a ride from Urbana car rentals lets you easily explore top attractions in Urbana, like Anita Purves Nature Center or Busey Woods.
  • You can fly into the University of Illinois Willard Airport (CMI) when going to Urbana, as it is the closest airport to the city. You can conveniently get a rental car at CMI on arrival instead of taking public transportation to the car rentals in Urbana City Center. On arrival at the airport, proceed to the baggage claim area to the rental counters. Walk-up renters can follow airport signs for "Baggage Claim" or "Arrivals". These signs will lead you to the entrance to the baggage claim area and proceed inside to your preferred rental agency.
  • Learn about Urbana’s road conditions and driving culture before driving in the city. While most drivers in Urbana are usually collected and patient, you will likely encounter one or two aggressive drivers on the roads. Learn to stay calm, as aggressive driving in Urbana attracts hefty fines. Driving in Urbana requires a lot of patience as the city has a lot of pedestrians. Don't get frustrated when traffic lights favour their movements. Urbana has numerous one-way streets that can get busy, particularly downtown. Additionally, multiple streets in the city have designated bike lanes, so stay vigilant when driving on these routes.
  • As in most cities, you should expect Urbana traffic to slow down during rush hour. The city's morning rush hour is typically from around 7 am to 9 am, while the evening rush hour is from about 5 pm to 7 pm. However, traffic congestion in Urbana during rush hour is lighter than in other major cities. Although the city usually removes snow from the roads after winter storms, you should be prepared to drive in snowy conditions when visiting during winter.
