Vehicle Rental Requirements
When picking up a rental vehicle at Chicago O'Hare Airport, drivers must present standard legal documentation:
- Driver's License: A valid, unexpired national driver's license in physical form. If your license is not printed in the Roman alphabet or in English, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required alongside your domestic license.
- Minimum Age: Most major rental companies require drivers to be at least 21 years old. Drivers aged 21 through 24 are typically charged a daily young driver fee and may be restricted from renting select luxury, premium, or specialty vehicles.
- Credit Card: An accepted credit card issued in the primary driver's name is required for the security deposit hold. If renting with a debit card, agencies may require proof of round-trip flight itineraries and place a higher security hold.
- Passport & Travel Documentation: International travelers must show a valid passport and entry verification.
- Insurance Coverage: Check whether third-party liability and Collision Damage Waiver (CDW/LDW) are provided by your policy, credit card, or must be added at the rental counter.
To secure guaranteed availability and preferential pricing during busy periods, consider booking your car rental reservation online well ahead of travel.
