profoster Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 We are thinking of taking the Amtrak into Chicago this summer for a weekend instead of driving to make the trip more relaxing. Once we get there we might need a car to get to a wedding we are attending Friday night and then over to the Horse Track on Saturday. Haven't bid for a car in Chicago before, there are three location choices. I know MDW is about 10 miles from the train station. I am just wondering where the car rental locations downtown are located. Are they easily accessible, we may choose to just cab it in the end, but we are exploring our options.
AaronJB Posted May 17, 2011 Report Posted May 17, 2011 A couple thoughts/questions:1. Where did you plan on staying? If downtown, parking rates at hotels is $40-55 commonly, and $25 at city lots. Suburban hotels (generally) offer free parking.2. I don't believe any rental wins have been reported in the city yet, as almost all rentals have been airport/people coming in at the airport. However, if you were coming into the city and staying in the city, it would be most convenient to rent in the city rather than having to go all the way out to one of the two airports, which are a trek.Thank you for using the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.
