Chevrolet Trax 2024

Impressed with CarRoro. Picked up and dropped off at ORD Terminal 2 by shuttle van to their lot of cars; took 10-15 minutes. Very convenient. Super friendly driver. Car was as described. Higher mileage than the car rental companies, but car worked without problems. Rented for 4 days for work. Price much lower than rental car companies. Great experience. Would rent from again without hesitation.

I had a great experience renting from DMM Group LLC for my trip to Chicago. I had the car for seven days, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The customer service was excellent, and communication was always quick, clear, and professional. The pickup and drop-off process was seamless and easy, with very clear instructions that made everything simple and stress-free. The car was clean, comfortable, and drove great. The price was also very reasonable compared to other options I looked at. I would definitely recommend DMM Group LLC to anyone looking for a reliable, affordable, and hassle-free rental experience. I’ll definitely consider renting from them again on my future trips!

George made this transaction exceptional. He was a pleasure to do business with and accommodating. He was punctual meeting me at the airport in a clean car that was exactly as expected. This was much easier and more pleasant than renting through a car rental company. When I am back in the area I will make a reservation with George again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Car Rental Experience in Chicago! We had an absolutely wonderful experience renting our vehicle while visiting Chicago. Raquel and Ovidiu were both incredibly kind, professional, and accommodating from beginning to end. During our trip, we had to change our drop-off time a few different times, and they were extremely flexible and understanding every step of the way. Communication was excellent—they were responsive, helpful, and made the entire process completely stress-free. The vehicle they provided was clean, comfortable, and very reliable throughout our trip. They were also right on time when we arrived at the airport, which made everything so much easier after traveling. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better rental experience. If we ever return to Chicago and need a rental vehicle, I would absolutely rent from Raquel and Ovidiu again without hesitation. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and exceptional customer service. Thank you both for helping make our trip to Chicago such a great experience!

Great rental experience! The Tesla was fun to drive, and the self driving feature was especially convenient. The car’s color/wrap really stood out from other Teslas and got several compliments. The host was very communicative and even asked which airport terminal I was arriving at so they could leave the car in the closest lot, a small detail I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend and rent again!
