Many people visit Chicago all year round for a number of reasons. Some people come to seek out a vacation filled with big city excitement while others come for business or conferences. Whatever your reason for heading to Chicago, all visitors have one thing in common – the need to get around town!
Public transit is a great option for a lot of people. The city is very well-
connected by buses and subway trains (which, by the way, are called “El Trains” here – short for “Elevated Trains!”). Walking is another option that’s great for a lot of people. There aren’t any daunting hills and the city is set up on a grid system so it’s fairly easy to navigate!
However, you can’t walk or take a train/bus everywhere, especially if it’s one of those subzero Chicago winter days and you have a long way to go!
There are a lot of different neighborhoods in Chicago to explore and if you want to get around near and far, taking cabs can get expensive!
Renting a car is an excellent idea for any visitors who don’t want to be tied down to one area and like a little more flexibility in their travel plans.

Before you decide to rent a car, make sure to think about your options. If you’re traveling for business, you might not even have time to zip around town in a car so it might make more sense to stick to walking and cheap public transit options. But if you have extra time or want to explore more of the city, a rental car is the best option, and All Star Travel is your best choice!
