How a rental goes

The car is in a numbered stall. The desk texts the stall number when you are 20 minutes out.

1. Hold the carSend the dates. The desk holds that car for two hours while you confirm.
2. Show the licenseThe name on the license matches the name on the card. Out-of-state licenses are fine.
3. Walk to the stallKeys are in a lockbox on the window. Photos of any marks are already on the rental sheet.
4. Bring it backSame fuel level. After hours, drop the keys in the box by the desk and text the stall number.

Rules on the lot

Written here so the desk does not surprise you. This is a sample company, not a real rental contract.

Who can drive

Age 21 or older, with a license held at least one year. Drivers 21 to 24 pay $25 a day. An extra driver is $12 a day and must be at the desk with a license before the car leaves. The weekend car is 25 and older.

Card, hold, and fuel

A credit card in the driver’s name. Debit cards are not accepted on this sample. The hold is $200, or $500 on the weekend car, and drops off after the car is checked in. Bring it back with the same fuel. A lower tank is billed at the pump price plus a $15 service fee.

Late flights and late returns

Put the flight number on the form. The car is held three hours after the scheduled landing. A return more than 59 minutes late is another day. After midnight, use the key box and text (312) 555-0194 with the stall number.

Winter, tolls, and parking

November through March the SUV has winter tires. City streets are salted, so a car wash is on you if you want one. Tolls on the Kennedy, the Jane Addams, and I-294 bill to the car and show up later on the card. Downtown meters and garages are not included. DuSable Lake Shore Drive is the usual way up the lakefront.

Damage, seats, and tickets

The day rate includes state-minimum liability only. The damage waiver is optional and is not an insurance policy. Illinois wants riders under 8 in a child seat; reserve one at $12 a day. Parking tickets and red-light tickets stay with the driver.

Changes and cancellation

Cancel or move the days until 24 hours before pickup and pay nothing. Inside 24 hours the desk keeps one day. One-way between the four Chicago desks is free. Cars do not go to another city.

Tell us the days

This preview prices the car on the page and does not send the booking. A paid site would email the rental company.

$59 City car, one day, before tax. Extras and the card hold are separate.

Saved on this page only. Nothing was sent.

Before you drive off

Match the stall number to the text. Walk around the car. The sheet already lists chips and scrapes. Add anything new before you leave the lot.

A normal downtown day

Meters downtown run about $2 to $7 an hour. A garage for the evening is often $20 to $50. The river stalls are easier than circling the Loop for a spot.

Call the desk
