Top tips for hiring a car at Chicago Greater Rockford airport

  • When flying into Chicago Greater Rockford Airport (RFD), hire a car from one of its car rentals. This is because renting a car at the airport is usually much less expensive than public transportation's cumulative cost. Renting a car will also allow you to explore the area at your own pace, choose your route, and make changes to your plans as you go along. Some lovely Chicago destinations you can easily get to with a rental car include The Art Institute of Chicago, Field Museum and Museum of Science and Industry.
  • Picking up your Chicago Greater Rockford Airport car rental is quite easy, as most car rental companies at this airport provide complimentary pickup and drop-off services. If you prefer getting your car rental yourself, visit the Ground Transportation Building, a 5- to 10-minute walk from the baggage claim, where you will find your rental counter. At your rental counter, you will be provided with a rental agreement as well as keys to your vehicle. Upon finalization of your agreement, one of your agency's staff will direct you to your car.
  • Returning your car rental at Chicago Greater Rockford Airport is relatively simple and convenient. This is because most airport car rental agencies require you to return the rental to the same location where you picked it up. After parking, ensure you have all your belongings before returning the key and rental agreement to the agency's offices. Please check for any additional charges that may be applied before you complete the return process.
  • During peak travel season and at the start and end of the week, picking up and returning a car rental at Chicago Greater Rockford Airport car rental tends to be more difficult than usual. This is because, during these times, there are plenty of long lines due to increased traffic in and around the airport. To avoid the wait times brought about by the long lines, it is best to book your car rental in advance.
  • Book your car hire at Chicago Greater Rockford airport at least 4 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Enterprise was a the worst ever. Car was not ready at pick up time. They tried to give me a mini van when I had rented a SUV. Then was told to pick up 2 hours later, and 1 hour later was told that car I had rented out was not rentable because of some exhaust leak. This place is just the worst.

Pros:

Rockford airport Avis personnel don’t care about customers. Allegiant airlines moved my flight to come in at 8pm. Avis employees would not stay or come in so I could pick up a rental car. Unacceptable and unprofessional. Avis doesn’t care !!!!!

Cons:

Had an employee stay allowing Me to rent / pick up a car.
