Chicago Land Truck Rental

By far the best rental experience I’ve ever had. We made a reservation, and the amazing thing is that when I walked in to pick up the rental, I was driving away 8 minutes later. Staff were professional and easy-​going. Great service. Will definitely use again.

We come here to rent a 15-​passenger van. The price is reasonable but service is great. They are informative and welcome. That’s a good point!

This is a very very late review from back on August 1^st 2015. My roommates and I were having what can only be described as a hellish moving experience. We had to move out of 2 apartments and into 1 all on the same day, and had 3(!!) trucks from Budget, Uhaul, Penske, cancel on us or fail to materialize the night before — even though we’d reserved our truck well in advance. I showed up on one of the busiest moving days in the city, in a total panic. The only truck on the lot was a 20ft open bed truck, and I was ready to take ANYTHING at that point. The guy took one look at me, said «I am not giving you THAT truck. But — trucks have been back and forth all morning and I will find you something that will actually work for you and that you can actually drive.» Everyone was incredibly nice, even though I was incredibly stressed, and they really went out of their way to make a horrible situation work. They found me a cargo van, which was just what I needed, and we got our move done. The guys at Chicago Land Truck Rental were the first ones to treat me like a human being all weekend and I can’t begin to express how much that meant to me – obviously I’m still thinking about it here 6 months later finally writing this review. I’ve recommend them to everyone I can think of who needs a truck since.

We are so thankful to Bruce at Chicaoland Truck Rental, as he was generous in a discount to our rescue. We are a non-​profit and survive because of people like Bruce and animal-​friendly companies. We were able to rent a truck and pick up the cat and dog food to feed all of the animals at Famous Fido Rescue.

I’ve used Chicago Land twice now, I absolutely had to go back the second time after such good service the first time. There is nothing to complain about here — the staff is friendly and helpful, the prices are reasonable and consistent (I brought back a previous receipt, and they price matched me on my next rental).
The second rental, they offered to upgrade me to a nicer van at no charge. We ultimately declined (not because we didn’t want the nicer van, but because we preferred the bench-​style seating in the older van), but I’ll definitely take them up on it next time.
They allow you to drop the van off overnight, gas it up for you, give you an I-​pass for zipping around highways, offer insurance on it… honestly it’s just a great gig. Can’t complain about the fantastic customer service either — prompt phone calls, emails, and courteous members. It’s hands down the best vehicle rental service I’ve ever used.
I will continue doing my van and truck rentals from here until the service stops, which I doubt!

As a Columbia College film student, this is THE place to rent from. They open at 5am, let you drop off any time at night, and even have let some of my classmates park their rentals on the property during productions. They offer a student discount, and I’ve gotten a few dollars knocked off in the past for returning a truck early. I’ve not rented from many other places in the area, but I’ve never felt like I got anything but a fair price here.
I’ve always gotten great service, and checkout is always speedy. They even drove me back to the train once when it was pouring outside! I’ve only used them for film productions so far, but I’d definitely recommend them for any truck rental.

These guys are great. I appreciate the prices & have used them a couple of times. But you get great service from anyone who takes care of you. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I work in the film biz which can be quite demanding and
particular…these guys get it! They have all the gear, furnie
dollies and blankets and rolling shelving racks. Brock and
crew go that extra mile. I recommend them very highly!

I am a film student at Columbia College Chicago and I used Chicagoland Truck Rental for transporting my camera equipment. I couldn’t be more satisfied with them. As a student with a micro budget for my film, the guys at Chicagoland really helped me out. They gave me deals, and discounts and upgrades all because they wanted to help make my movie a reality. They were upfront, professional, helpful and just all around fast and easy to work with!
If you are a student or just anyone, looking to rent from them, I would highly recommend it. Our truck ran great, had no issues, and did everything we needed it to do! I am so happy I went with them and am definitely already recommending people to them! GO WITH CHICAGOLAND!!!

I rent from the superb people about 6 times a year for film projects. Every time they have been acomidating and friendly. They provide a monitored lot if you need a safe place to store the truck overnight and anytime drop off.
Recently they gave me a top of the line 15ft truck with a hydraulic lift gate and side door for the price of a 12ft box truck.
I have rented from these guys at least 15 times in the past couple years and they are easily the best truck rental place in the city. Their rates are competitive too!

I rented a 15 pass from these guys and they were totally professional, friendly, and courteous. I called ahead just the day before to reserve it (they didn’t ask me for a credit card or deposit), it was ready when I got there, and I was out of there in five minutes. When I returned it they even drove me to the train station so I could save some money by not taking a cab to the airport. Quality folks here.

Just a great place to do business with!

Great place. This is how all businesses should conduct themselves. It was really refreshing to work with them.

Top notch group. Brock and crew offer easy in and out service. Great overall experience. Wouldn’t hesitate to rent from again.

Amazing place I do all my rentals from! They are so helpful and always are able to accommodate at the last second. I don’t rent from anywhere else in the city. They only have one location but it’s worth it.

AMAZING!!! I showed up short notice looking for a van and I left minutes later ready to move. The best part was I didn’t have worry about filling it up with gas! They charged me for the gas that was right next door and nothing extra. Their service was quick, efficient, and very courteous. I will be returning there very soon.

After reading the horror stories about Uhaul, especially on the last weekend of the month, I decided to go with Chicagoland Truck Rental. They made the process painless from start to finish. You have to call to make a reservation but there’s something comforting about talking to a real person. They did not send an email confirmation but when I called a few days before the move, they had all of my information.
I picked up the 15-​foot truck early Saturday morning, and was on the road in less than ten minutes. The only problem was they did not have a truck with three seats in the front. Other than that, the truck was in good condition and drove well. They even gave me a break on the price per mile. Returning the truck was just as seamless.
They may cost a little more than the big boys, but I was never worried about my reservation getting delayed or misplaced. That confidence on moving day is worth the price.

I needed to move out our trade show booth at McCormick Place and decided to use the local truck rental spot instead of the big names and I’m glad I did. Super easy process, had keys in my hands within 5 minutes of walking in and the best part was I didn’t need to bring the truck back with full fuel as they would refuel at the cost of the gas stations prices, no up charge. WIN!
Will definitely use them again when I need to rent a truck or van.

These guys are a hoot! I was fully entertained while waiting for my truck. A much more personable experience than Uhaul or any other corporate place. Go local and support these guys!

Great experience. They were helpful, available last minute, economical, and professional. Would definitely use them again!

Great experience. These guys have super competitive pricing, are open at very convenient hours, and their trucks were in great shape.
When I brought the truck back, they refilled the fuel with no up-​charge. I also left one of their dollies at my apartment and they were very flexible/​kind by giving me extra time to return it with no additional charge.
Highly recommend Chicagoland Truck Rental for renting a truck in Chicago!
