      The staff recommended a toll package for $15 a day, but Chicago doesn't have many toll highways. I didn't buy it and just set the GPS to avoid toll roads. I drove for three days and visited most of the popular attractions without encountering any toll fees. Near O'Hare Airport, highways are often congested. If you didn’t purchase the full tank package, it’s better to fill up the tank elsewhere before getting on the highway; otherwise, you'll face half-hour traffic jams entering or exiting the highway. Plan your time accordingly.

      I bought insurance online, but when picking up the car, they insisted I buy insurance again. The customer service told me to pay first and they would handle it later, but they never did. I ended up spending a few hundred more for nothing. Very disappointing. I suggest everyone avoid renting from this platform, it's full of pitfalls.

      This was the worst experience I have had with rental car and I don’t think I will have such an experience again as I will never rent from Fox rent a car. The staff was horrible at the counter. Wanted to charge us $90 extra for dropping the car early even though I had paid for those 2 full days. Wasted almost 2 hours at my pick-up visit. And at the end, charged me $25 for me to pick the car which I was not supposed to pay but I did as I was getting late for the function to attend and I needed a car. This was something one should never experience. I have decided I will never rent from Fox even though they give me for free.

      The car was a Jeep. It had/has an alternator issue in that the alternator did not charge up the battery. So I had to have multiple jump starts in an area that I was unfamiliar with. There was a service phone number on the key fob, however on several occasions there was no response to my calls, which were usually at night in the pouring rain. Luckily I have AAA motor club service. Service tech that responded the first time said the battery had rusted terminal cables. The second tech said that the alternator wasn't putting out the correct voltage to maintain the battery. When I returned the vehicle, I parked it in the entrance drive, and told the clerk that she would have to jump start the vehicle to move it, since it had a bead battery.

      At Chicago airport, I waited over an hour for the shuttle bus. When I called to ask, the attitude was poor. We finally got the car after 9 PM. The rental company is much farther from the airport compared to others. The return process was normal; we filled the tank and washed the car as instructed. Unexpectedly, I received an additional charge six months later. I had purchased the full insurance, the most comprehensive one, and there were no incidents or violations. This company is terrible. Remember the old saying: 'You get what you pay for.' Be cautious when choosing a rental company.
