Chicago Travel Tips & Suggestions

  1. Book a boat tour to see more of Chicago and learn about its unique history. Several companies offer architectural tours where you’ll travel through the downtown area on the Chicago River. 

  2. There are tolls along many Chicago highways, and not all have cash options. Fortunately, you can pair your cheap car rental in Chicago with our e-Toll Unlimited service to help you save more on tolls. 

  3. Chicago deep-dish pizza is a must-experience food. These pizzas are as thick as pie and equally delicious. You can choose from several pizzerias to try this Chicago delicacy, including Uno, Gino’s, and Giordano’s.

  4. While in Chicago, visit Skokie for amazing attractions away from the much busier Loop. You can find low-cost options like the popular Emily Oaks Nature Center. Check out the Leaning Tower of Niles, a smaller-scale replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Popular Rental Car Types in Chicago

Budget in Chicago has many different types of rental cars to fit every need. If you’re coming to Chicago in the winter, consider renting an SUV. When the storms blow in off Lake Michigan, you’ll be glad you have a warm and reliable rental car.

Likewise, Lake Michigan during the summer is something that shouldn’t be missed. Why not cruise in style in a convertible or other luxury vehicle? There is nothing like enjoying the lakeside from the comfort of a convertible.

After a long day in meetings, get ready to relax and have a little fun in the Windy City. Chicago is full of places to explore. Grab a bite to eat at one of Chicago's favorite eateries before you set out to see the sights.

Chicago Travel FAQs

To park in Chicago, you can park on the street at meter parking or use an open to the public parking garage. It is tough to find an open meter spot when downtown, but most entrances to parking garages display if space is available. 

You'll need to find an open parking meter spot to park on the street in Chicago. Meter fees vary, but most accept coins or major credit cards. Street parking is also free on Sunday unless noted by the meter spot. If you can't find a parking place on the street, look for one of the many available parking garages. 

Like all large metropolitans, Chicago can be a little tricky to drive in, and you'll probably see some reckless and aggressive drivers. However, driving in most Chicago suburbs is easy once you get further from downtown. Don't be deterred from driving in Chicago if that best suits your trip to the Windy City!

Weekday rush hour in Chicago typically lasts from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM, with the evening rush hours being generally more congested than the morning drivetimes. On weekends, traffic times vary, but roads tend to be busiest from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
