Great staff.

We wanted a compact vehicle and received a Dodge Durango they told me it was a free upgrade and I told him I wasn’t interested in an upgrade and it’s only an upgrade if you consider it an upgrade they said that there was nothing else available and I told them that I booked this months ago. They said we had the option to cancel which wasn’t an option at the time.

Car pick up was problematic: Firstly, it wasn't at the airport with the other car rental companies which meant it took much longer to get on the road. Secondly, the person dealing with the booking had no idea about my booking, despite me giving the reservation copy to her which she said she didn't need...a booking which I had made 5 months earlier, and she tried to give me a Jeep when I had booked a Nissan Rogue or equivalent. I refused the Jeep and then her colleague said, "Oh we just had a Rogue come in"...magically. This person was also quite rude. Additionally, the car tires were low and within an hour the warning light came on. This is unacceptable since you have to pay for air refills in the States. However, the person handling the return was excellent and efficient and friendly.

We’ve rented from Routes before with no issues, but this trip we had several. The office appeared to be busy and understaffed. The women’s restroom was out of order the entire 2 weeks we had the cars. The first car wasn’t clean and the check engine light was on. The window washer fluid was empty and upon refilling, emptied out immediately. We exchanged the vehicle and the new one was clean but had an annoying loud rattle coming from the dash that we couldn’t quiet. Shuttle was quick and easy.

Smooth process, no issues!

Routes counter service staff were great. At O'Hare, you have to take a shuttle to the new car rental facility and then you have to take another shuttle to Routes. It took them a long time to track down a minivan for us to rent. And, when the car arrived, it was soaking wet like it had just come out of the carwash. It was clean inside other than something was all over the interior ceiling and the antenna was missing on the van so we couldn't pick up very many radio stations. Overall, I would rent from Routes again because it was so much cheaper than the more well known car rental companies.

Yes, easyrentcars.com was great and I would use it again.

The whole third party booking was a bit confusing. Instructions for pickup were not real clear. Routes definitely pushes add ons, insurance, i-pass, etc.
