Landing at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD)? If you want total freedom on I‑90 and I‑94 a flexible car rental keeps the trip simple. Book close to arrival and choose compact for tight garages or an SUV for winter traction.
Illinois Tollways & I‑PASS
Chicago’s expressways use cashless tolling. Most lanes accept E‑ZPass and I‑PASS and you can pay online after driving if you miss a gantry. The simplest option is to rent with toll handling included and even cashback on tolls. Before you go learn more about accepted passes and deadlines.
City Parking 101
Downtown parking is plentiful yet pricey near the Loop River North and the Mag Mile. Read signage on every block because some streets require residential permits at night. To save time use a parking app and target garages just outside the busiest blocks. You can also learn more for neighborhood rules meters and affordable lots.
Driving Patterns
Expect heavy peaks on the Kennedy and Dan Ryan. Keep right except to pass leave space for merges and watch speed changes when express lanes open. Add buffer time if you are heading to the North Shore or western suburbs where construction can appear quickly.
