What this means for drivers

Why people rent a car in Joliet

Joliet is a logistics and warehousing hub southwest of Chicago, and that shapes its rental market. Delivery and gig drivers make up much of the demand, renting weekly to work the distribution corridors around the city.

What it costs

Rentals start from $29 a day. Because so much demand here is work-related, weekly rates are the relevant comparison and price considerably better than daily.

Collecting the car

Handover is arranged directly with the owner around Downtown Joliet, the Cathedral Area and toward the Plainfield border. Parking is easy throughout.

Driving here

Illinois uses I-PASS, interoperable with E-ZPass. Charges are tracked through TollSpot and passed to you. Emissions testing applies across the Chicago area. All drivers must be at least 21.

What this means for hosts
