Avis Car Rental

- 933 Skokie Blvd, Northbrook, IL 60062

For residents of the North Shore and the greater Chicagoland area in Illinois, having a dependable local car rental agency is essential for everything from weekend road trips to handling temporary vehicle shortages. **Avis Car Rental** at 933 Skokie Blvd in Northbrook, IL, stands as a convenient and well-established option, serving the local community with a dual function as both a premier car rental agency and a van rental agency. This location is particularly valuable as a neighborhood branch, providing a seamless rental experience without the complexities often associated with major airport hubs.

The Northbrook branch offers Illinois users access to the extensive, high-quality Avis fleet. Whether you need a compact sedan for navigating city traffic, an SUV for a family adventure, or a van for moving large items or transporting a group, this location aims to meet your specific travel demands. The goal is to provide reliable, clean vehicles coupled with customer service that simplifies the process, ensuring you can quickly get on the road and focus on your trip, project, or local business needs.

However, like many service businesses, the experience here can vary depending on the local staff and the current availability of vehicles. Reviews from local customers highlight this dichotomy. One customer highly praised an employee named Amir, noting his exceptional customer service, cordial and welcoming attitude, and willingness to go the extra mile—even reopening the store after closing hours to facilitate a necessary vehicle swap. This level of personalized care is what defines a great neighborhood rental experience. Conversely, another customer reported a deeply frustrating experience of arriving on time only to be told no cars were available for several hours, with a staff member being unhelpful and suggesting the customer go elsewhere. For local users relying on a firm reservation, this lack of vehicle availability and inconsistent service can be a significant drawback. It underscores the importance of confirming your reservation details and checking with the local branch ahead of time, especially during peak seasons.
