West Ridge (Chicago) car hire reviews and directory
Drop off was unfriendly. The car was dirty. I asked for an economy car and got a big suv. The guy told me it would get 40 miles to the gallon and it got about 25 which mattered. The guy who answered the phone was unhelpful and not very nice.
That car takes forever to charge. That was by far the worst experience I have ever had with any rental car. The people I worked with at the front desk at all were also very short and their choice of words. I felt like my decisions were being made out for me without consulting me.

They didn't give me a car because they had more bookings than the number of cars. The money was not returned. Wasted time, nerves and money.

You suggested the wrong location for O’Hare so I mistakenly booked at the wrong location.
Charged us for the toll pass when we didn’t need it. Since they charged us for the toll pass we decided to take the toll. The toll pass was then invalid and we couldn’t use it. We spoke with Charles and Evelyn who confirmed they would reverse the fee and send and email for confirmation and never did. Horrible service.

They didn’t have my reserved car. In fact they had NO CARS. It took me 4 more hours to travel to an airport where they did have cars and then I was charged $60 in airport taxes (plus the cost of a taxi ride to pick up the vehicle). And when I wanted to return the car to the original drop off site, that was another fee. Overall a terrible experience and I cannot recommend Budget/Avis.

As a Fastbreak member I was disappointed that my reservation was canceled this weekend only a few min before I arrived at the location. This is the second time this has happened this year (first time was in LA where I waited 1.5 hours for a car). I should have learned my lesson then.

Our agent at Budget in Evanston was amazing. He was very helpful and provided us with a wonderful van for our rental. Best and easiest rental experience I've had with Budget to date, thank you

I reserved a car at Hertz for the wrong date, so I had none. I turned to Budget and both Dante and Dierdre were enormously helpful getting me on the road. You can be happy you have employees like them.
I was overall not impressed. The car I received had gum stuck to the center console which was gross. After I returned the car, I received a call saying that there’s a “large crack that goes halfway across the windshield.” When I asked again how large the crack was because I didn’t see a crack while driving, the agent said the crack was barely visible. I explained that I did not notice a crack nor did it happen while I was driving. When I dropped the car off at 4:30 PM, the rental place was closed. I truly believe this crack either happened with the last driver and I was not informed about it when I picked the car up. Or it happened after I dropped it off. Despite this, the agent said I’m responsible for it and will need to cover the cost. Very unhappy about that.

This was an amazing experience. People at Enterprise were very knowledgable, helpful and pleasant to deal with. I appreciate this particular office.
