Top tips for renting a car from Hertz in Chicago

  • When you book Hertz car rentals in Chicago, there are a few different kinds of vehicles that may come in handy for the region. For example, economy models are particularly convenient for drivers that will mainly be staying in the city center, as they will help you to squeeze into small parking spaces and can make it easier to navigate through the congested Chicago streets. If you will be traveling with a lot of luggage or will need space to store recreational or sports equipment, an SUV may be a more convenient option instead.
  • Those that choose to book Hertz car rentals in Chicago can benefit from the Gold Plus Rewards program. This rental loyalty program is completely free to join and allows for you to earn points each time that you rent with Hertz. These points can then be redeemed for free rental days and upgrades. Being a member will also allow you to skip the line at the counter when picking up or returning your car.
  • Opting to book Hertz car rentals in Chicago means that you will have access to some of the best customer service around. In fact, Hertz has won numerous awards over the years for this very reason, including Best Car Hire Company, Best Domestic and International Car Rental, and Traveler’s Favorite. No matter what you need during your rental experience, you can rest assured that a customer service agent will be there to help you.
  • If you would like to take a road trip to Canada, you’re in luck, as Hertz allows its customers to cross the border. Before doing this, however, you will want to make sure that you let the branch that you will be renting from know of your plans, as you will likely need to fill out some additional paperwork and maybe even pay for extra coverage for the duration of your rental.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars from Hertz in Chicago for $81 or less.
  • Book your rental car from Hertz in Chicago at least 7 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price.
  • Intermediate rental cars from Hertz in Chicago are around 49% cheaper than other car types, on average.

FAQs about renting a car from Hertz in Chicago

  • Where are the best pick-up locations for Hertz car rentals in Chicago?

    Hertz has several pick-up locations that are particularly convenient for customers. For example, the locations on West Belmont Avenue and North Clark Street are both centrally located within the city, making them nice options. There is also a pick-up location at O'Hare International Airport (ORD), which is handy for anyone that will be flying into this transportation hub.

  • Am I able to pick my own Hertz car rentals in Chicago, or will I be assigned a vehicle by the company?

    When you first make your reservation with Hertz in Chicago, the company will ask you to select the vehicle model that you would like to rent. However, Hertz does not guarantee that you will receive this specific model, as this entirely depends on what is available at the time in the fleet of the branch that you will be renting from. If the model that you have requested is not available, you will instead be given a similar car, either from the same auto manufacturer you asked for, or a different one.

  • Is it possible for me to have Hertz car rentals in Chicago delivered directly to me?

    Hertz offers a service known as Hertz Neighborhood Delivery, which allows individuals to have their car rental delivered directly to their personal residence, office building, or hotel. This is particularly convenient for those that do not have access to transportation to travel to a branch themselves, or who are short on time. To benefit from this service, you will want to make sure that you notify the branch you will be renting from well in advance, as the availability of this perk depends on the availability of Hertz employees at the time of your requested delivery.

    On average a rental car from Hertz in Chicago costs $126 per day.

I wasn’t able to rent! They call me and send a message that they don’t have a car for me . It was stressful considering that happened just on the night before. I needed the car in the mid morning to travel from Chicago to Detroit because I had an appointment that day. I had to find another agency to rent a car and considering I needed for the next day and I was complicated.Reviewed Aug 11 2025

We rented from chicago airport agreeing to return at Milwaukee. I explicitly asked the staff to confirm the return location at Milwaukee will be open at 4-5pm. Then I was surprised, the location was closed and no instructions for overnight return, no one answering calls at Hertz. I ended up returning at the next closest location which is the Milwaukee airport. Then I get a surprise bill of $450 instead of the negotiated rate of $160 on July 6. I am working to charge back that transaction with the credit card company. Hertz doesn't answer customer service calls anyway.Reviewed Jul 26 2025

They added hidden fees and charged me for gas even though I had returned the tank with more than I left it with. You expect to pay a premium with Hertz so that you don’t have to deal with chasing their customer service. It is truly useless to have a smooth pickup process if it means that you’ll have to track them down later because they charged you the price you paid ahead of time over in fees. Very disappointing.Reviewed Mar 24 2025

We reserved a car at the airport after our flight home was canceled and we chose to drive instead of wait 2 days for the next available flight. Hertz refused to honor the reservation because it wasn’t made at least 24 hours in advance. Thankfully Alamo was more understanding of the situation and rented us a car so we could drive home.Reviewed Aug 8 2024
