Ford’s Freestyle model of Sports Utility Vehicle has become a popular vehicle to rent in recent years. After several years of being highly available, the car seemed to just dissapear from many lots. There are a number of reasons why this has happened. If you do a simple search for Ford Freestyle reviews online, you may be shocked to find out that the Ford Freestyle is really not all that reliable of a vehicle. Despite what their commercials for the Freestyle may have claimed when the vehicle was first released, they have incurred numerous problems since their release. A few of the more popular problems that the car has suffered include transmission failures, alternator issues and rapid decline in break pads.

The lack of reliability in the Ford Freestyle has caused many local car rental companies to not even carry the car any longer. While this may be to the dismay of Freestyle fans, there is hope. A few local car rental companies do carry Ford Freestyles in the Chicago area. These companies include;

-Avis Rent A Car

-Enterprise Rent A Car

-Alamo Rent A Car

So if, despite the reliability issues that many have encountered with the Ford Freestyle, you would still like to rent it there are a number of companies who still have it available. Before renting a Ford Freestyle you may want to consult with your car rental company about which models and years they have available, as certain models and years have experienced less problems than others.
