Metra Car Rental Deal For Metra Riders

Car Rental Deal For Metra Riders

Now you can still enjoy a relaxing train ride and avoid the stress and hassle of rush hour traffic. In cooperation with Hertz Local Edition, Metra offers its riders more travel flexibility with an attractive "Freedom Flyer" program that provides rental discounts for commuters who need a car for mid-day business. With hourly, half-day discounted and daily rates for compact size cars, the Freedom Flyer Program is perfect for Metra riders who need more travel flexibility.

Metra and Hertz Freedom Flyer Program exclusively for Metra customers.

Hourly Rate Half-Day Daily Rate

$8.00* $24.00* $40.00*

Available at all Hertz Local Edition locations in the Chicago area, this rate includes unlimited mileage in Illinois and neighboring states. This partnership offers convenience to those customers who may not take the train on a given day and drive because they need the car for a midday appointment. The program also will be attractive to customers who "bill out" their hours for the day, such as consultants, certified public accountants and attorneys.

No advance notice is required to take advantage of the Freedom Flyer rate. To qualify for the half day rate, just pick up the vehicle that morning and return it by 1:00p.m. or pick up after 12:00p.m. and return it to any one of the Hertz locations in the Chicago area by end of business**. Renters must display a Metra ticket at rental time along with a valid driver's license and fulfill all standard rental qualifications. Any Metra ticket, from monthly to one-way, can be used.

For added convenience, several downtown locations make it easy for you to get going. Visit Union Station (210 South Canal), West Loop (181 W. Washington), State Street (401 N. State Street), McCormick Place (2300 S. Martin Luther King Drive), North Loop (930 W. North Avenue), or the Lincoln Park office (3151 N. Halsted). In addition, you'll find Hertz in The Hyatt on Michigan Avenue (909 N. Michigan) and The Westin (151 E. Wacker).
