What if the counter is closed when my train gets in?
City branches keep shorter hours than airport counters, and many close early at weekends. A late train can mean arriving to a locked door, and the car isn't always held until the next morning.
- Add your train number and arrival time to the booking, and tell the branch if you'll be late.
- Check the weekend and holiday hours of the exact branch before you travel.
- Arriving after closing? An airport counter is often open later. The nearest one we cover is ORD airport.
- Picking up a car someone else booked? See what the counter needs.
