Located 6 kilometers south of Rockford and 109 kilometers northwest of Chicago, we have Chicago Rockford International Airport. It is a both a commercial and a general aviation airport in Illinois, Winnebago County.

With two runways operating, the airport is very efficient in its methods and work. Moreover, historically Rockford airport also hosts many entertaining events, like the AirFest and Wing Ding.

How to proceed from the airport

It is a known fact that landing in a city is easy, but travelling within a new one isn’t. So for most people it comes as a shock when they deal with high taxi fares, badly congested tour buses, local trains that lead to limited areas, etc. For that matter, the most advisable mode to travel within a city would be a rented car. At the age and time of tourism, and in a city like Bern, the competition between car rental companies is thriving; it gives you the key to cheap rental cars and various deals that include plenty of optional cars for you to choose from; from trucks, to SUV’s to bikes and even luxury cars. All at a distance of one phone call away from you.
