Elmhurst has some narrow roads and tight parking spaces, so a compact Elmhurst car rental would be the most recommended type of car to rent. These cars are easier to maneuver in these conditions and can make navigating through busy streets and parking in tight spots a lot easier. Compact cars also tend to have better fuel efficiency than larger vehicles.

Cons:
They told us our appointment was at 12, but the store closed at 12. When we got there a couple minutes late (thinking we wouldn’t even be allowed to pick up the car early) they were closed and we had to go somewhere else to rent a car. Very stressful and disappointing.One location in Elmhurst
