Transportation to/from Champaign-Urbana
Willard Airport(CMI) is the local airport. There are many rental car companies operating at Willard, and they tend to offer better rates than the ones in Chicago. A $10-15 taxi ride from the airport is convenient, especially if many people arrive together.
The two main airports in Chicago are O'Hare and Midway. Once in Chicago the three alternatives are:
- Bus: Suburban Express and Peoria Charter pick up passengers at ORD. There are cheaper alternatives such as Greyhound and Megabus but they only go to Union Station in Chicago.
- Amtrak Also leaves from Union Station.
- Car Rentals also let you drop your car at a different location for a penalty
