Even though public transportation serves virtually every area in Chicago, a car rental at Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport (ORD) ticks all the boxes for an ideal transportation option. Rental cars from the airport will save you the hassle of carrying heavy luggage and the delays associated with other transportation options. Moreover, you will enjoy the freedom and flexibility of driving yourself, especially if you are running errands or just touring the city. Also, you may easily extend the rental period to accommodate your entire trip.
When reserving a car rental at Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport, take note that there are no onsite car rental agencies at the airport. Therefore, to get to the off-site rental outlets, you'll have to catch the 24-hour courtesy shuttle bus offered by various car rental agencies. All shuttle buses depart at Terminals 1, 2, and 3, outside the baggage claim area. The airport features courtesy telephones which you can use to contact the car rental agencies if you are arriving at Terminal 5.
When you're done, you can return your car rental right to the car rental at Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport. Returning your rental car doesn't have to be a daunting experience. When you pick up your car rental at Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport, you should make arrangements with the rental provider for a drop-off time and learn about their return policy. It is especially crucial for short-duration rentals to avoid being hit with extra charges when returning the rental car. Furthermore, ask for a receipt from the car rental agency staff once you return the vehicle. Keep the receipt as proof that you have returned the rental car.

What a surprisingly pleasant experience. The agents were thoughtful and helpful, the (upgraded) car was immaculate, and the return was about as easy as it gets. I’ll definitely rent from Fox in Chicago again.

Pros:

The only positive things I can say about Fox car rental is one, the person who checked me in was friendly and courteous, number two, the person who checked me in upon my return was friendly and courteous. Their customer service took 45 minutes to answer the phone and the representative was discourteous and condescending. They did a bait and switch with the type of vehicle that I had requested. The vehicle smelled of cigarette smoke, the windshield on the interior was not cleaned. I had to buy a bottle of for breeze and Windex and paper towels to make the car suitable for my trip. I would never ever rent from this company.

Cons:

They could be honest with their customer, they could train their customer service representatives to be more customer service oriented. And they should give the customer the type of vehicle that they had requested. It goes back I guess to the old saying, You get what you pay for.

The biggest issue was a noise coming from the back of the vehicle when driving over 60 m/ hr. I contacted Dollar, but unfortunately, there were no locations anywhere near where I was. it was bothersome because I was hoping that the car wouldn’t break down in the middle of nowhere.

As an infrequent user, it would have been nice for someone to escort us to the vehicle and explain its features/ operation. How to locat e the vehicle wasn't clear then We had to drive straight into the Chicago rush hour traffic not knowing about the modern safety features and wondering what various warnings meant

Additional charges that I did not agree to were applied at collection. When I realised and tried to get help to correct the errors by phone, email and in person I was repeatedly lied to by different employees. My Dollar experience has been fradulent behaviour from their collection staff compounded by appalling customer service.

Cons:

The counter agent was very rude. We waited for 45 minutes in the line. When we finally got to him, he told us we would have to wait 45 to 90 minutes until our car would be ready unless we upgrade by paying additional $18/day. After he rang the charges , it showed $19/ day. It gets worse. After driving for two hours, the car had engine light. We called the emergency roadside service, I was put on hold for 30 minutes. Next day, the car condition got worse, we drove back to the airport to change the car because the car had trouble starting. When we returned to the airport, the counter agent was at the return center. He was rude. He did not apologize.
