If you are flying to Chicago and need to rent a car, did you know that you can rent one directly from the O’Hare airport? That’s right; instead of taking a bus or taxi and searching for a rental car company, you can pickup a rental car from a company located inside of the airport. When your trip is over and you are getting ready to fly back home, all you have to do is drive your rental car to the airport and drop it off again.

Although there are multiple companies that offer in-terminal car rentals, because I have always had a good experience with them, I almost always use Thrifty. Since they have an easy to use website that allows you to make a rental car reservation, I am able to reserve a rental car before my trip begins, and then when I arrive at O’Hare, Thrifty has my car ready for me to pickup.

Also, because I travel quite frequently, I decided to join their Blue Chip Express Rental program. This is Thrifty’s reward program for frequent customers, and not only is it free to join, but it actually helps me earn free car rental days!
