Avoid Routes at O'Hare at all costs

I was very pleasantly surprised with Routes. After reading some of the reviews, I confess having had some concerns but I found the whole process to be a very good and easy one. My checkout clerk did an exceptional job and was overbearing with requirements like I had expected. The check-in process was also very easy. The only challenge is that two rental shuttles are necessary to get there- but I was not in a hurry, so this was not a problem.

Easyrent cars found me a great deal in a market that was very expensive otherwise. It almost seemed like the deal was too good to be true ($200 less than the nearest competitor) yet it was very true with no surprises. Glad to have used them and will do so again in the future.

I rented a Dodge Grand Caravan, and they told me they did not have one. That made a problem with 4 adults, 4 golf travel bags, and 4 large suitcases for an 18 day trip. The Dodge Durango was not an even swap, we were squashed the entire time. They did give me the 2nd driver free of charge per my request to them for the obvious inconvenience. I would have appreciated a heads up before arrival so we could make other arrangements and not find out on arriving at 9:30 pm.... The airport shuttle to the Car rental place went smooth, but the Shuttle the rental car center to routes was over an hour wait... there was a young family waiting next to us and with their little kids and the late hour, this was horrible. especially when it is only an eight minute drive from the airport itself!! I could tell this was going to be the same problem when I returned the vehicle, so I just got an Uber and avoided the whole aggravation. Also on return of vehicle, there wasn't any signage on procedure, and it was very different then any other rental care company I have ever used. The price was great, the desk staff were very professional to deal with even with the inconvenience of downgrading the vehicle we needed, but the shuttle service set up is HORRIBLE and needs attention!!

All was good.

Two things, it would have been helpful to know the shuttle to "routes" from the O'hare shuttle terminal said routes. we missed one since it said routes and not easy rents cars. Secondly tell folks to make sure to bring their car insurance info. the turn in sucked, you just want to be done and get to your plane, and we had to wait in line again.. for awhile.

easy

Car had been in prior accident and didn't handle perfectly on curves but was fine overall. 2-shuttle process to get to pick up location. Address given for drop off did not match up with Google maps, so I'm glad we weren't in a hurry to make our flight. Customer service was very good. Office and bathroom were dirty. Nevertheless a very good value for the price.

Routes will charge you less during booking but will recoup their charges by having to book a mandatory liability insurance. When other rental companies will include all necessity mandatory requirement all inclusive during booking.
