Great vehicle. Pricing was more than hoped for but opted as needed for the holiday

First, they told me the wrong info!! Then they sent me to the wrong pick-up location. Then I ended up in another part of town to get my rental!! I enjoyed everything after that but I would recommend that you double check all the info before you proceed! The only reason for the good recommendation is because of the people at Enterprise on Alpine in Rockford, IL.

They were kind and checked up on me to see how I was doing

Frequently asked questions

That depends largely on where you’d like to go. Downtown Rockford, about 5 miles from Rockford, IL Airport (RFD-Greater Rockford), can be a little tricky to drive in. Make things easy for yourself by renting something compact, fuel-efficient, and simple to operate. Keep in mind that Rockford is a popular base to explore some of the prairies around Illinois. If your escape is more about steering down lengthy stretches of road, then you may prefer something with more trunk space and room to move. How about an SUV or a full-size car?

You’ll be glad to know that there’s a huge range of both luxury and economy vehicles to rent in Rockford, IL Airport (RFD-Greater Rockford). What you opt for is largely dependent on how much you want to spend and the activities you’ve got planned. Specialty and prestige vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you want to indulge yourself, why not book a high-end SUV, or perhaps a slick mid-sized vehicle? Otherwise, if you’re just after a car to get from A to B as cheaply as possible, you’re better off going with an economy vehicle (or something else that won’t blow your budget).
