  • You'll discover Camp Randall Stadium and loads of other amazing attractions in Madison. From Chicago, it's 193 kilometres away.
  • Next stop? Make it Joliet, which is around 56 kilometres away. Rialto Square Theatre is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chicago?
You have to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related rules to bear in mind before you book your Chicago wheels.

The surcharge amount, and which ages it applies to, differs between suppliers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Chicago?
You'll generally require a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the car. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between suppliers, so it's always wise to check the terms and conditions.
What is the cheapest car rental in Chicago?
CA $52 and CA $62 were the two lowest daily rates picked up by car renters in Chicago within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Chicago car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Chicago outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
