Two things — your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental agency to avoid any problems.

Yes, and you'll find your ideal ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip details and we'll show you excellent options from numerous reputable companies.
Where can I find a Chicago car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Chicago rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional fees. It's best to know this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
