This is an off-site location on Mannheim Road south of ORD. The pick-up involves taking the airport shuttle to the rental car center, then calling Routes for a pick-up. (Two shuttles altogether on pick-up.) Getting back to the airport after returning the car was easier, though: The Routes shuttle dropped returning passengers directly at their terminals rather than at the rental car center -- a nice touch.

Reasonable rental price.

Routes is rather remote from the airport, apart from the rental center where other vendors are. They are a bare bones operation and the first rental company I've encountered that required my insurance policy number in order to rent the car. Service at the counter was incredibly substandard compared to competitors. Fortunately, the car was in ok condition and I didn't run into any problems.

Great price! Car was not as clean as it should have been on the inside and was released to me on pick up with 1/4 tank of fuel. Easy to dismiss this as price was great.

The car size I reserved was not available and I had no choice but to be "upgraded " to a much larger vehicle. It was extremely difficult for my 86 year old mother to get in and out of the larger vehicle that I didn't want in the first place. Also the vehicle only had 1/2 a tank of gas. And when I called to determine if I should bring it back with 1/2 a tank I was told to look at the contract which showed a full tank, so I was cheated out of 40 dollars in gas. I told the drop off employee who tried but couldn't refund the 40 dollars because the rental was prepaid. I pretty irritated about that. Also was told that every toll booth I paid cash had to be documented with time an date and amount paid so I could prove I paid the tolls in case the rental company tried to charge me for skipping tolls because I didn't buy their over priced Eazy pass.

Beautiful
