Routes counter service staff were great. At O'Hare, you have to take a shuttle to the new car rental facility and then you have to take another shuttle to Routes. It took them a long time to track down a minivan for us to rent. And, when the car arrived, it was soaking wet like it had just come out of the carwash. It was clean inside other than something was all over the interior ceiling and the antenna was missing on the van so we couldn't pick up very many radio stations.
Overall, I would rent from Routes again because it was so much cheaper than the more well known car rental companies.

Yes, easyrentcars.com was great and I would use it again.

About Routes:8.7/10
This is an off-site location on Mannheim Road south of ORD. The pick-up involves taking the airport shuttle to the rental car center, then calling Routes for a pick-up. (Two shuttles altogether on pick-up.) Getting back to the airport after returning the car was easier, though: The Routes shuttle dropped returning passengers directly at their terminals rather than at the rental car center -- a nice touch.
The car size I reserved was not available and I had no choice but to be "upgraded " to a much larger vehicle. It was extremely difficult for my 86 year old mother to get in and out of the larger vehicle that I didn't want in the first place. Also the vehicle only had 1/2 a tank of gas. And when I called to determine if I should bring it back with 1/2 a tank I was told to look at the contract which showed a full tank, so I was cheated out of 40 dollars in gas. I told the drop off employee who tried but couldn't refund the 40 dollars because the rental was prepaid. I pretty irritated about that. Also was told that every toll booth I paid cash had to be documented with time an date and amount paid so I could prove I paid the tolls in case the rental company tried to charge me for skipping tolls because I didn't buy their over priced Eazy pass.
Ended up with a Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Only other choice was a Dodge Durango. We preferred to have a smaller vehicle for better gas mileage. The Jeep was “cool”, but buffeted a lot in the wind on the freeway. And it only got 19 mpg. Routes did compensate us with a half tank of free gas, as we complained and requested such upon accepting the car.
