Your booking confirmation always includes the exact pick-up address and instructions.

What is the minimum age to rent a car in Champaign?
The lowest minimum age among rental companies in Champaign is 21, and some companies require 23 or 25 for larger or premium cars. Drivers under 25 usually pay a daily young driver fee, and some companies limit younger drivers to smaller car classes. You also need to have held your driving license for at least one year.

Which car rental companies in Champaign offer unlimited mileage?
Alamo, National and Enterprise include unlimited mileage on all cars in Champaign. Avis and Budget offer it on some cars only. The mileage policy is shown in each offer before you book. With limited mileage, every kilometer or mile over the daily allowance is charged extra.

What fuel policy do rental companies use in Champaign?
The fuel policy is shown for each company on this page. The most common ones in Champaign are:
  • Full to full: you get the car with a full tank and return it full. This is usually the cheapest option because you only pay for the fuel you use at pump prices. Refuel near the drop-off point, or the company will charge for the missing fuel plus a service fee. Offered by Alamo, National, Avis and Budget.
  • Same to same: you return the car with the same fuel level as at pick-up.

What extras can I add to a car rental in Champaign?
You can add extras when you book or at the rental desk:
  • Additional driver: another person can share the driving if they meet the same requirements as the main driver (age and a valid driving license). Most companies charge a daily fee, but in Champaign Alamo includes an additional driver for free.
  • GPS navigation, to find your way on unfamiliar roads
  • Child seats, infant seats and booster seats, which are required by law for young children in most countries
  • Extra insurance that lowers or removes the excess you pay if the car is damaged.
Extras are limited, so it's best to reserve them together with the car.
