The Avis Car Rental counter at Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) is conveniently located in the baggage claim area, just steps from the Avis RFD car rental lot. The city is about 90 miles from Chicago, and a relatively easy drive along I90, which is why many business travelers to the Windy City choose this airport instead of the busier O’Hare.

Rockford is a city of significance in its own right, though. It boasts a population of around 350,000 and is home to a number of well-known American companies including one of the largest Chrysler plants in America. As such, many business travelers who land here are well-versed in automotive knowledge, which is why the most discerning choose Avis for Chicago Rockford International Airport rental cars, for the quality selection of great vehicles, outstanding service and excellent deals on rental cars ranging from compacts and convertibles for cruising around town, full-size and luxury airport car rentals for showing up to business meetings in style, and comfortable SUVs for those aforementioned drives to Chicago.

If you’re planning on extending your stay in Rockford past the workweek, weekends here can be absolutely beautiful. Plan a visit to one of the many green spaces, including the Anderson Japanese Garden and the Nicholas Conservatory & Gardens. Both are publically accessible and worth a look.

Whatever you have planned for your trip here, if it begins with Rockford airport car rentals from Avis, it’ll begin on the right note. What's more, you can accelerate your travel experience with Avis Preferred, a complimentary membership that allows you to skip the line and go straight to your car.
