Day trips by hire car

If even just to have something to lug all your shopping bags back to the hotel with after you’ve visited some of Chicago’s supreme department stores, having a hire car is handy. Chicago hire cars can be booked online.

If you want to spend a day outside the hustle and bustle of big Chicago, there’s always the option to take a day trip by hire car. Get back to nature at Morton Arboretum located outside of Chicago in Lisle. With almost 2,000 acres of landscaped gardens, Morton Arboretum makes a peaceful retreat. Brookfield Zoo is a favorite for the whole family and is set in the suburbs of the city. Book a hire car in Chicago of your choice online.
