Start your road trip in Chicago

The ultimate American road trip begins in Chicago. After all, this is where the legendary Route 66 starts. With a rental car via Alamo.nl you start this iconic road in a flexible and comfortable way. You easily pick up your car in the city center and begin your adventure right away. Thanks to our all‑inclusive rates you drive away without worries, with insurance and unlimited miles included.

Discover Route 66 with a rental car

Before you hit the road, of course you first explore vibrant Chicago. In the city itself you do not need a rental car. If you pick up the rental car in the city, you also save on parking costs.

  • Visit the Navy Pier for attractions, museums, and a great view over Lake Michigan

  • Head to the Willis Tower and experience the view from the Skydeck at 412 meters high

  • Get to know the city’s architecture with a boat tour on the Chicago River

  • Walk through the expansive Grant Park and see the famous Buckingham Fountain


    And one of colleague Marjolein’s favorites:
     

  • Discover the Art Institute of Chicago, one of the oldest and largest art museums in the USA. If you cross the street here, you also find the marker of the official starting point of Route 66.

The infrastructure around Chicago is excellent, with wide highways and clear signage. Keep in mind toll roads in and around the city. The Alamo rental location is on Lasalle Street and within walking distance of most downtown hotels.

Well insured on the road

With Alamo.nl you are always well insured. Your rental car is standard inclusive of insurance against damage, theft and liability, plus unlimited miles. So you know exactly what to expect.

During booking you can choose useful extras such as a GPS, child seat or additional insurance for even more peace of mind. In the United States you can also choose the Gold package or the Gold Underage package if you are under 25 years old.

One‑way rentals

If you want to drive the entire Route 66, you will of course need to return your rental car elsewhere, for example in Oklahoma City or in Los Angeles. That is often possible without problems. The possible costs are shown in advance so you are not faced with surprises.
