I learned that Budget offers at the Chicago O`Hare airport a wide range of luxury cars in their fleet. The rental rates seem to be rather low compared to competition. Someone knows more details?

It`s a surprise that the Budget luxury car fleet is rather attractive. Despite rental rates which are rather low at Budget.

Which models can be expected when booking the luxury class at Budget at Chicago?

Some of the models of the Budget luxury fleet are cars like the Chrysler 300 LTD 3.6L, Cadillac CTS, Lincoln MKT, Lincoln MKX, Lincoln MKZ, Lincoln MKC, Lincoln MKS, Cadillac XT5, Infiniti Q50, Volvo V60, Volvo XC60, Hyundai Genesis, Buick LaCrosse, Infiniti Q70 and Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. These cars are of course not only available at Chicago O`Hare.

Rental rates are absolutely reasonable for cars out of the luxury class at Budget. See following example:

Note that on your example @Cowling service fees and taxes must be added on top.

Yes, of course @ESPoff . That`s normal. There is a base rental rate which is the basis for comparison with other rental rates. Service fees and taxes are identical for all car rental provider at the same location.

Of course. Therefore it doesn`t make sense to compare anything else than the rental base rates of individual offers.

I can`t imagine that there are actually too much renters at Chicago O`Hare. This situation normally should result in a heavy decrease of rental rates

A disadvantage of the Budget fleet is from my point of view that it is mainly driven by Ford models. I can`t say to be a real fan of Ford. Therefore I don`t rent too frequently at Budget. My point of view only!
