    Car Hire Chicago

    Chicago is America's third largest city by population and a treat for anyone with the opportunity to visit. This beautifully designed city is both hip and historical. In the summer, relax on Oak Street Beach just across the street from Michigan Avenue, known as "The Magnificent Mile" and home to many of Chicago's hotels, shops and restaurants. Ride the Ferris wheel at Navy Pier and have a cocktail in the Signature Lounge on the 99th floor of the John Hancock Building for jaw-dropping views. Cruise the Chicago River on the city's phenomenal architectural tour or learn about the dark side of Chicago's past on the gangster tour, which covers the hangouts of Al Capone and other notorious mobsters. Chicagoans love their sport, so take in a Bulls game or go ice skating at millennium park in the winter. Everyone will enjoy a comedy show at Second City, the comedy theatre where many famous comedians got their start, including John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Chris Farley, Steve Carrell, Tina Fey and many more. Chicago is a massive city full of pride, culture, food and entertainment - the options for any visitor are endless.

    Just north of the city, you'll find the charming suburb of Evanston, where you can tour the campus of the highly esteemed Northwestern University, especially beautiful on a nice autumn day. If you're visiting in the warmer months, spend a few days in Saugatuck, Michigan or Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, both lovely lake towns just a few hours outside of this bustling city.

There are also plenty of car parks around the city, though rates may vary. Please note that permit parking is common in a number of neighbourhoods, to ensure sufficient parking for residents. If you don't see a meter, check around for signs designating permit parking. If you're travelling outside of the city, you are likely to encounter toll roads.
