Can I rent a car from O'Hare Intl. Airport (ORD)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Evanston car reservation?

Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the first choice for many travelers to Evanston. Offering exceptional mileage and easy handling and parking, they’re perfect for zipping around the city.

Most of the time, all you’ll need is a driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up your car.

Where can I find an Evanston car rental if I am younger than 25?

Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape excessive charges when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Evanston?
Start your road trip the right way by choosing Expedia’s collision damage protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for collision damage, vandalism and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency assistance. Don’t wait until you arrive at the rental counter to insure your ride.
