CAR RENTAL REVIEWS ON ROUTES IN CHICAGO

It was fun to drive this car!

Car pick up was problematic: Firstly, it wasn't at the airport with the other car rental companies which meant it took much longer to get on the road. Secondly, the person dealing with the booking had no idea about my booking, despite me giving the reservation copy to her which she said she didn't need...a booking which I had made 5 months earlier, and she tried to give me a Jeep when I had booked a Nissan Rogue or equivalent. I refused the Jeep and then her colleague said, "Oh we just had a Rogue come in"...magically. This person was also quite rude. Additionally, the car tires were low and within an hour the warning light came on. This is unacceptable since you have to pay for air refills in the States. However, the person handling the return was excellent and efficient and friendly.

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.

This is the second time I’ve booked at this location and twice they did t have the car I reserved and paid for. The counter representative was no help.

Easy process. They tried to give me a different type of vehicle saying they did not have any available but then found keys to the type i had requested originally. The vehicle was missing an antenna and the interior roof was dirty. The staff was fast and ready to help.

Cheapest prices around. I've used Easyrentcars several times and have not been disappointed.

The shuttle pick-up location is slightly different from what is stated in the print out. They print out says 'Door 3' when it should be 'Station/Pillar 3'. Otherwise everything was awesome!

Slow going at the desk

Rental fee is way cheaper than others, but car condition is as good as others or better. Accessing pickup location from the airport is a bit tricky. You need to take airport shuttle to Rental hub, and then call Routes office for another shuttle to the pickup location. It takes easily over 30 min. It is still worth taking time for pickup because the deal is so good. Also direct shuttle service from the dropoff location to the airport is provided after returning a car.

The rental company staff were very nice.

The customers are traveling and need the aide of automatic doors when handling luggage.

It's always easy to book on this site. I wish there were more coupons offered.

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.

They were professional and courtesy

The staff were friendly and quick. It’s a 20 minute ride from the airport to get to the pick up. The car we had was damaged on the front bumper, the interior of the car was immaculate

Will use again

Routes did not have the vehicle I ordered. I was forced to take a smaller vehicle than my needs required. I got a very inexperienced counter person who was receiving no help from the other staff. It took a lot longer than It should have. Parking lot was very packed with cars. No room in the lot.

The car that I reserved and called to confirm about was not available. I got a nicely equipped Nissan Rogue, but what I really needed was the fuel efficiency and convenience of a sedan.

Nothing to change. The app was easy to use. Due to a flight delay, I had to use customer service and they were very very helpful.

Nope, very rude staff,took forever.Try to rip you off and lied to you about existing damage to the car.Will never rent from routes again and tell family and friends, never rent because they are cheaters.

staff was slow

The counter staff are very friendly and helpful. The transactions went quick and smoothly. Shuttle van bring us to the location which is nice because outside the craziness of the ORD airport.

Staff was courteous

Car was car wash cleaned but lots of bugs still on vehicle

We’ve rented from Routes before with no issues, but this trip we had several. The office appeared to be busy and understaffed. The women’s restroom was out of order the entire 2 weeks we had the cars. The first car wasn’t clean and the check engine light was on. The window washer fluid was empty and upon refilling, emptied out immediately. We exchanged the vehicle and the new one was clean but had an annoying loud rattle coming from the dash that we couldn’t quiet. Shuttle was quick and easy.

Smooth process, no issues!
