Insurance is an essential part of any car hire in Chicago. Beware of cheaper prices for car rental in Chicago - they may not cover you for an accident.
All of the discount Chicago self drive prices here include insurance, with no hidden extras to pay in Chicago. Our rates for car hire in Chicago have the following protection included:
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
LDW is not insurance, it's a supplement you pay so the Chicago car rental company won't claim against you if your Chicago hire car is stolen or damaged during your visit to Chicago.
Supplemental Liability Insurance (SLI)
This increases third party liability insurance on your Chicago car hire package to $1 million. Some Chicago rental packages don't include SLI. Without paying in advance, the Chicago car rental office charge $14.99 per day!
Under or Uninsured Motorist Protection (UMP)
Because it isn't compulsory to have insurance to drive in the USA, the other party mightn't have cover if you have an accident in Chicago. UMP provides up to $1 million against injuries caused by drivers in Chicago without insurance. If you paid UMP in Chicago it would cost £5.99.
Emergency Assistance
All of our rental packages in Chicago include full breakdown assistance. If your hire car from Chicago breaks down, you can call a Chicago recovery company to get you back on road.
Deposit
When you collect your rental car in Chicago, you must provide a credit card as deposit. In Chicago, no money gets charged - details are held as security in case the vehicle is damaged during your Chicago fly-drive. Please note: cash is not acceptable as deposit for Chicago car hire.
