Chicago is the third most populous city in the US behind New York and Los Angeles. The city is served by two major airports, Chicago O’Hare, and perhaps the lesser known of the two, Chicago Midway. The latter is ideally located if you are planning on staying in the city as it is just eight miles from downtown Chicago.
Car rental in Chicago Midway Airport is available at competitive prices. As you would expect, the majority of the world’s leading rental services operate from inside the main terminal building. Numerous websites will enable you to get the best deal on offer should you pre-book on the internet.
It is also possible to arrange car rental in Chicago Midway Airport upon arrival, although it should be noted that this is likely to be more time consuming and potentially more expensive. If you choose not to rental a car, the CTA Orange Line train operates between Midway and downtown Chicago and arrive regularly at the airport.
The airport also has excellent parking facilities, including the hourly parking area for those meeting others at the airport. However, for those who intend on parking their vehicle for a longer period, long term parking is provided in the remote lot and garage on Cicero Street, where you can also hop on a free shuttle bus to the terminal building.
The airport has all the facilities you would expect from a major airport including a number of restaurants and bars, shops and even an inter-faith chapel.
