Airline Discounts and Savings

Consider another airport such as Chicago Midway Airport (MDW) or Milwaukee’s General Mitchell International Airport (MKE). Schaumburg is closest to O’Hare airport but you may find significant savings by using another option. Midway is Chicago’s second airport and is served by Southwest Airlines. It’s approximately one hour between the airport and the Renaissance hotel. Mitchell Airport is approximately 90 minutes away and is served by regional and national carriers.
Car Rental, Shuttle and Taxi Service
Avis Rent-A-Car Discounts Travel between September 17, 2009 and October 1, 2009 and automatically get the lowest available rate. Book online at www.avis.com or call 800-331-1600 and reference Avis Worldwide Discount (AWD) # D086747. Avis will match or beat any other Avis discount available to guarantee you the lowest rate possible.
Take the airport shuttle. Take the O’Hare airport shuttle to the hotel (approximately $20). The airport shuttle desk can be found in baggage claim at O’Hare.
Choose the right taxi! Using a suburban taxi service from O’Hare or Midway Airports will save you time and money. You will receive faster service if you reserve your taxi prior to your flight. O’Hare to the Renaissance Schaumburg Hotel & Convention Center is a flat fare of $35 plus fuel surcharges (subject to change). The cabs in the cab lines at the airports are for the city of Chicago. They will charge a hefty surcharge for taking you to Schaumburg. Save yourself time, headaches and money by calling a suburban cab company such as American Taxi (+1 847-255-9600).
Use the FREE Trolley! The Trolley is a FREE transportation alternative, which allows visitors to travel to any of eight destinations served by the Trolley on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Trolley-style buses will pick up from the Schaumburg Renaissance Hotel & Convention Center directly in front of the hotel and visit the following destinations:
- IKEA
- Roosevelt University
- Costco
- Woodfield Mall (two stops)
- Woodfield Village Green (two stops)
- Streets of Woodfield (three stops)
