  • Grab your wheels from Avis, Alamo or Budget, some of the most reliable providers at University of Illinois Willard Airport.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your University of Illinois Willard Airport car hire policy, whether you go with Avis or a different supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Booking one-way could snag you a cheaper rate on your car hire. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be moved around. Just choose 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in CMI.

  • The real fun starts once you've picked up the keys to your CMI car hire. You'll have the freedom to go wherever you want, but if you're headed to central Champaign, it'll take you around 15 minutes to travel the 11 kilometres or so north.
