Recent Schaumburg car rental reviews

Mitsubishi Mirage 2017

Carlos was an exceptional leasee. It was my first time renting from a contactless rental agency. Initially, I was somewhat apprehensive and just unfamiliar with the process, but it works quite efficiently. The leasee basically rents his vehicle out to others. The car was incredibly clean and very good with mileage. It was a 2017 Mitsubishi, but since I was only in Chicago for one day, I only needed it from points "A" to "B." The price was quite reasonable, and Carlos' communication was good. There was a slight hiccup regarding my pickup. Although he sent me a text, I didn't receive it until later. I called him and he picked up right away. He had sent the text 30 minutes earlier, but there was a delay (perhaps because I was in the airport's parking garage area and reception wasn't good with my phone). If there's a delay, I strongly suggest that you give him a call instead of texting. It can prevent communication errors. Overall, it was a great experience and I'll certainly try Turo again.

Although, the car was really smaller than I expected, I drive an SUV. I actually adjusted to it very well. There were times while driving that I would forget the size of the car. I was perfectly content with the car. It drove well, the trunk space worked well for my luggage. The price was unbeatable compared to the airport charges. The pickup. location was perfect right in the airport and a minimal charge to exit. Carlos, stayed in contact right up to my pickup. He responded quickly to my drop off. This may very well be my rental prefrence for future rentals.

Schaumburg doesn't have many unusual rules or regulations when it comes to driving in the village or nearby locations. However, there are a handful of roundabouts, so if you don't know the rules for driving through a roundabout, you should familiarize yourself with them.

What is parking like in Schaumburg?


Like many suburbs, parking is no problem in Schaumburg. Nearly every store and restaurant has a large parking lot, hotels offer parking, most residences have driveways, and residential street parking is free and legal, though overnight street parking may be ticketed.

Woodfield Mall, IKEA, Whole Foods Market, and a few other stores and parking garages offer chargers.


Do I need to rent a car in Schaumburg?


Like most suburbs of Chicago, public transportation options are limited, and the distances between most destinations means that travel by car is the only realistic option.
