Camper Van Rental in Illinois
Illinois gives you two very different camper van trips. One heads north out of Chicago along the lake. The other follows the old road southwest toward the Mississippi. Five rental companies in the state stock camper vans, and they average 4.4 stars. Expect a mix of big outfits and small ones. I have rented four RVs, and the small ones often try harder.

What to check before you book
Ask about mileage first. One company here advertises unlimited miles, which is worth a lot on a long haul. Others cap it, so get the per-mile rate in writing. Generator hours are the fee that caught me once, on a van that looked cheap. Confirm how many hours are included and what each extra hour costs. Then look at the security deposit and what insurance covers, because your personal auto policy usually will not. If you plan to cross into another state, ask about one-way drop fees. Kitchen and linen kits are often add-ons, so price them in before you compare totals.
Where to point the van
Chicago is the obvious start, and the airport pickup options make it easy to fly in and drive out. From there, the lake towns to the north make a natural first night. Route 66 runs southwest out of the city, and with a name like Route66 RV Rental in the mix, the old road is clearly part of the local draw. Summer weekends and holidays fill up, so book several weeks ahead if you want a specific van. Only one company here allows pets, so bring that up early if the dog is coming.
