Renting a Van in Chicago: Prices, Pickup and What to Expect

Planning a group trip and not sure where to start? Here is what it costs to rent a van in Chicago, what every rental includes, and how pickup and return work. Chicago Van Rentals is a family-owned van rental company with two offices near O'Hare and Midway. Every rental is self-drive: you drive the van yourself.

How much does it cost to rent a van in Chicago?

What you can expect to pay depends on the van and your dates. These are our starting daily rates. Your exact price shows when you pick your dates and book online.

Looking for cheap van rentals in Chicago? The 7-passenger minivan has our lowest daily rate. For bigger groups, the Ford Transit Low Roof is our lowest-priced passenger van. At $120 a day shared by 15 people, that is about $8 per person per day. See every rate on our van rental prices page.

Rental tax depends on where you pick up. Our offices are just outside the City of Chicago, so the tax is 12% in Melrose Park and 11% in Berwyn. Inside the city it is 26% plus $0.50 per rental.

What every rental includes

  • 250 free miles a day. Extra miles are $0.35 each.
  • 3 drivers at no extra charge: you plus 2 more. More drivers are $20 a day each. Every driver must be 25 or older with a valid driver's license.
  • A clean, inspected van. Every van is cleaned and checked before it goes out.
  • Entertainment on every Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: a 32-inch smart TV, Xbox and Blu-ray player.
  • Pets are welcome. Bring the van back clean, or a cleaning fee of up to $500 applies.

How booking and pickup work

  1. Book online, any time. Choose Melrose Park or Berwyn for local pickup, or O'Hare or Midway if you are flying in.
  2. Reserve with a $200 deposit.
  3. Pick up the van. Bring your driver's license and a credit or debit card. We place a $400 hold on a credit card, or $500 or more on a debit card. Prepaid cards are not accepted. Your bank releases the hold after the rental.
  4. Bring it back to the same office. Returning after hours? Both offices have a 24/7 key drop box. There is a 59-minute grace period. After that, another day is charged.

Full details are in our rental policy.

Two offices and 24/7 airport delivery

Melrose Park, at 3217 W Lake St, is our main office, about 13 minutes from O'Hare. Berwyn, at 6825 Ogden Ave on historic Route 66, is our branch about 13 minutes from Midway. Both are open 7 days a week, 8 AM - 5 PM.

Flying in? We deliver the van to your terminal at O'Hare or Midway, 24/7. The fee is $125 each way during standard hours (Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM). An after-hours fee applies at other times.

Tips for driving a big passenger van

  • Watch the height. Every Sprinter is 10.5 ft tall, so skip parking garages and drive-throughs.
  • Check the fuel type before you fill up. Our fleet has both diesel and gas vans.
  • No smoking in any van. A $500 smoke cleaning fee applies.
  • Tolls and tickets during your rental are billed to you, plus a $50 admin fee for each one.
  • Call us first if something seems wrong. Please do not add oil or fluids yourself.
