Will I face unexpected charges at the Enterprise counter in Chicago when I book through Hola Car Rentals?
No. With Hola Car Rentals, all costs and charges for your Enterprise booking in Chicago are clearly shown at the time of reservation and in your confirmation email, so you know exactly what you are paying before you arrive at the Enterprise counter.
On top of that, every Hola Car Rentals booking includes the No Extra Charges© guarantee. This is a pricing guarantee (not insurance) that protects you if the Enterprise counter in Chicago charges you for something that was not listed on your confirmation and was not an optional add-on you accepted. If that happens, Hola Car Rentals will work with Enterprise to remove or reimburse the charge after verification.
The only costs outside this guarantee are:
- Optional add-ons you choose at the counter (GPS, child seats, prepaid fuel)
- Usage-based charges (tolls, fuel shortfall, traffic fines)
How do I pick up my Enterprise rental car at Chicago O'Hare Airport?
At Chicago O'Hare (ORD), all rental brands including Enterprise operate from the Multi-Modal Facility (MMF) at 10255 W. Zemke Blvd. You do not go to a counter inside the terminal.
- After collecting your baggage, follow signs to the Airport Transit System (ATS).
- Board the ATS train toward MMF / Rental Cars. The ride is free and runs 24/7 with frequent departures.
- The trip from any terminal to the MMF takes approximately 5 to 10 minutes, plus a short walk inside the facility.
- Once inside the MMF, follow the Enterprise signage to the correct counter level.
Bring your booking confirmation, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, your driver's license, and your passport. Enterprise counters at Chicago O'Hare set their own operating hours, so confirm your pickup time against your reservation before arriving.
Where is the Enterprise counter at Chicago Midway Airport?
At Chicago Midway Airport (MDW), the Enterprise rental car facility is located at 5150 W 55th St, Chicago, IL 60638. This is a standard airport setup where you follow signs from the terminal to the rental car pickup area, typically on level two of the parking garage.
Unlike O'Hare, Midway does not use a separate multi-modal transit system, but a shuttle or short transfer from the terminal to the rental area is standard. Allow extra time after baggage claim to reach the Enterprise counter, especially during busy travel periods.
Bring your booking confirmation, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit, your driver's license, and your passport. If your license uses a non-Latin alphabet (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic), an International Driving Permit is required alongside your original license at the Chicago Midway Enterprise counter.
Does Enterprise in Chicago have downtown pickup locations?
Yes, Enterprise operates several downtown Chicago locations in addition to the airports, making it convenient if you are staying in the city center rather than arriving by plane.
- Chicago Magnificent Mile: 10 E Grand, Hilton Garage Floor 2, Chicago, IL 60611.
- Chicago Millennium Park: 20 E Randolph St, 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60601.
These city locations have direct counter access inside garages or buildings, so there is no airport-style shuttle involved. Hours at downtown Chicago Enterprise branches are generally Monday through Friday 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with reduced Saturday hours and limited or no Sunday service depending on the specific branch. Confirm the hours for your chosen location before booking, as they differ from the 24-hour airport facilities.
The same document requirements apply at all Chicago Enterprise locations: a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, a valid driver's license, and a passport for international visitors.
What toll roads will I encounter driving an Enterprise rental car in Chicago?
Chicago and the surrounding Illinois area have several active toll roads that you are likely to use in an Enterprise rental car. Illinois tolls are managed by the Illinois Tollway and are almost entirely cashless.
- Illinois Tri-State Tollway (I-94/I-294/I-80): runs from the Wisconsin border to South Holland, approximately 82 miles. Typical auto cost: US$2.35 to US$4.70.
- Jane Addams Memorial Tollway (I-90): connects Chicago toward Rockford, approximately 76 miles. Typical auto cost: US$2.75 to US$5.50.
- Ronald Reagan Memorial Tollway (I-88): runs from Chicago toward Dixon, approximately 96 miles. Typical auto cost: US$5.10 to US$10.20.
- Chicago Skyway (I-90/I-94): connects Chicago to the Indiana border. Typical auto cost: US$4.80 to US$47.60 depending on vehicle and time.
- Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355): typical auto cost US$3.80 to US$7.60.
Toll rates vary by time of day: daytime rates apply from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM and overnight rates from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. There are no congestion charges or emissions zones in Chicago. Your Enterprise rental vehicle will have an electronic toll device installed, and you can choose a daily toll program at the counter or pay per use via the plate-based billing system.
How do tolls work in an Enterprise rental car in Chicago: transponder or pay by plate?
Illinois toll roads are fully cashless, so your Enterprise rental car in Chicago will handle tolls electronically. You have two main options at the counter.
- Daily toll program: Enterprise offers an unlimited toll service for a fixed daily fee, typically between US$11 and US$25 per rental day. This covers all tolls you incur that day and is the most convenient option if you plan to use toll roads frequently.
- Pay per use (pay by plate): If you decline the daily program, the Illinois Tollway cameras photograph your rental plate and bill the toll at the standard plate rate, which is slightly higher than the discounted I-Pass/E-ZPass rate. Enterprise will then charge the toll amount plus an administrative processing fee to your credit card, sometimes weeks after the rental ends.
I-Pass and E-ZPass are the electronic transponder systems used in Illinois. If you have your own compatible transponder, inform the Enterprise counter representative in Chicago at pickup and ask them to deactivate the vehicle's built-in device to avoid duplicate charges.
Ignoring tolls is not an option: unpaid tolls are linked to the plate and billed to the rental company, which will pass the charge plus fees back to you.
Can I get cashback on tolls paid during my Enterprise rental in Chicago?
Yes, all bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your Enterprise rental in Chicago.
Given that Chicago area toll roads such as the Tri-State Tollway, the Skyway, and the Jane Addams Tollway can add up quickly, this benefit is worth claiming after your trip.
To claim your cashback:
- Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning the vehicle.
- Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation [Your Confirmation Number].
- Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the rental agreement signed at the Enterprise counter in Chicago, and a receipt or statement showing the toll charges paid.
The refund is processed to the same payment method used for your booking and typically takes 7 to 10 business days after approval. Claims submitted after 30 days are not accepted. The cashback covers the lesser of your actual toll costs or 5% of your booking total.
What documents do I need to pick up an Enterprise rental car in Chicago?
To collect your Enterprise rental car in Chicago, you must bring the following physical documents. Digital copies are not accepted at the counter.
- Valid driver's license (original, not a photocopy). If your license uses a non-Latin alphabet such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic, you must also carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) as a translation alongside your original license.
- Passport or valid government-issued photo ID.
- A physical major credit card in the main driver's name, with the driver's name printed on the card, for the security deposit hold.
- Your booking confirmation or printed voucher.
- Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for international visitors).
The IDP is not a standalone document and cannot replace your original license. If you think you may need one, obtain it in your home country before traveling, as U.S. issuers such as AAA do not issue IDPs to non-U.S. license holders.
All named drivers must be present at the Chicago Enterprise counter at pickup, each with their own valid license and ID.
Is a credit card required to rent from Enterprise in Chicago?
Yes, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name is required to rent from Enterprise in Chicago. The card must have the driver's name printed on it and must have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.
At most Chicago Enterprise locations, the typical security hold for a standard vehicle is approximately US$300 to US$400. This is a temporary authorization, not a charge, and is released after you return the vehicle. Your bank controls how quickly the hold disappears from your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days.
- Debit cards and prepaid cards are not accepted for the security deposit hold.
- Virtual or single-use card numbers are not accepted. You must present the physical card.
- Even if you prepaid your booking online, you still need to show a physical credit card at the Enterprise counter in Chicago.
Bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card is declined. Set a travel notice with your bank before arriving in Chicago to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization.
Can I do a one-way rental with Enterprise in Chicago and return the car at a different location?
Yes, one-way rentals are possible with Enterprise in Chicago, allowing you to pick up at one location and return at a different one, such as from O'Hare (ORD) to Midway (MDW), or from an airport to a downtown branch like the Magnificent Mile location.
One-way rentals must be booked in advance. A drop-off fee may apply depending on the specific pickup and return locations, the distance between them, and the vehicle class selected. This fee is set by Enterprise and is not covered by your prepaid rate.
- The drop-off fee, if applicable, will be shown during the booking process under the section listing charges due at the destination.
- Same-city routes (for example, O'Hare to a downtown Chicago Enterprise branch) sometimes carry no drop-off fee, but this depends on the specific route.
- Longer routes between different cities or states will typically incur a one-way fee.
Review your booking confirmation carefully to confirm whether a drop-off fee applies to your Chicago Enterprise itinerary before finalizing the reservation.
What is the minimum age to rent a car from Enterprise in Chicago?
The minimum age to rent from Enterprise in Chicago without a young-renter surcharge is 25. Drivers aged 21 to 24 can rent but will be charged a daily underage fee on top of the base rental rate.
Enterprise in Chicago charges US$15 per day plus taxes for drivers under 25. This fee applies at both airport locations (O'Hare and Midway) and downtown Chicago branches.
- Drivers under 25 are also restricted from renting certain vehicle classes. Categories such as full-size, premium, luxury, minivans, and large SUVs are typically reserved for renters aged 25 and older.
- Economy, compact, intermediate, and compact SUV classes are generally available to renters aged 21 to 24.
- Illinois does not have a state law requiring rentals to drivers under 21, so the minimum age at Chicago Enterprise locations is 21.
All standard requirements still apply regardless of age: a valid driver's license, a physical major credit card in the main driver's name, and the required documents at the Chicago Enterprise counter.
How much does it cost to add an additional driver to an Enterprise rental in Chicago?
Adding an additional driver to an Enterprise rental in Chicago costs US$15 per day plus applicable taxes when the fee is not already included in your rate. Some Hola Car Rentals rate plans include one additional driver at no extra cost, so check your booking confirmation before arriving at the counter.
The additional driver must be present at the Chicago Enterprise counter at pickup. They must bring:
- A valid driver's license (and an IDP if their license uses a non-Latin alphabet).
- A valid passport or government-issued photo ID.
Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement. Anyone who drives the vehicle without being listed on the agreement is not covered by the rental protections, including CDW/LDW and liability coverage.
For Enterprise in Chicago, additional drivers must also meet the minimum age requirements. Drivers aged 21 to 24 added as additional drivers will be subject to the young-renter surcharge and vehicle class restrictions.
What fuel policy applies to Enterprise rentals in Chicago?
Enterprise rentals in Chicago follow a Full-to-Full fuel policy by default. You receive the vehicle with a full tank and must return it full to avoid additional charges.
- At pickup, check the fuel gauge with the Enterprise agent and confirm the starting level is recorded on the rental agreement.
- Take a photo of the dashboard showing the odometer and fuel gauge before leaving the Chicago location.
- Refuel within approximately 10 miles of the return location so the gauge does not drop below full before you arrive.
- Keep your final fuel receipt showing the date, time, and station address.
If you return the vehicle below the recorded starting level, Enterprise will charge you for the fuel shortfall at their own refueling rate, which is typically higher than retail pump prices, plus a service fee.
For after-hours returns at Chicago Enterprise locations, leave the fuel receipt in the key drop envelope and keep a photo of the full gauge on your phone as evidence. Use the correct fuel type for your vehicle, as wrong-fuel incidents are not covered by the fuel policy and may generate additional charges.
Does travel assistance cover me if something goes wrong during my Enterprise rental in Chicago?
Yes, most bookings made through Hola Car Rentals include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, which can help if an unexpected situation arises during your Enterprise rental in Chicago, such as a medical emergency or a flight cancellation on your way to or from the city.
Core benefits typically include:
- Travel insurance with medical coverage for up to 5 passengers.
- Legal assistance in the event of a road accident.
- Compensation for baggage lost by the airline.
- Flight cancellation insurance.
This coverage is designed for non-North American customers. If you are a U.S. or Canadian resident, this benefit does not apply to your booking.
To get help 24/7, call +1 888 980 9992 (toll-free) or contact WhatsApp at +1 208 910 1001. Have your Hola Car Rentals confirmation number ready when you call.
Note that this travel assistance does not cover damage to the Enterprise rental vehicle itself (that is handled by CDW/LDW) or third-party liability (covered by LIS/SLI). Always check your specific booking confirmation for the exact terms and coverage limits that apply to your Chicago rental.
