Car rental process

International renters must have an International Driving Permit to drive in Illinois and to rent a vehicle from either Enterprise Rent-a-car or National Car Rental.

The changes to the Enterprise process took effect on November 1, 2023.

  • National Car Rental has been added as an option to rent a car along with Enterprise.
  • Renters will have the ability to rent vehicles directly from Chicago O’Hare International Airport. The cost may vary from local branches however, this is now an option.
  • The process for reserving a rental car is the same, but a different corporate ID and billing number will be needed.

Additional information can be found on the FAQ page. If you have further questions, please contact the Fermilab Travel Office at travel@fnal.gov.
