Hi, all, needing some input for an upcoming trip.
In the past, we've arrived in Chicago at 8:45 am and sat around until 2 pm waiting for the CZ back to Galesburg (where our car is parked). Wondering if we could rent a car (Enterprise near CUS and also near GBB station?) and just drive to Galesburg, turn in the car, and drive home. It would get us home several hours earlier.
Questions:
1. We would likely NOT cancel the rail portion ahead of time, in case we change our minds, or if weather is bad. So, can we claim our checked luggage at CUS if we are ticketed back to GBB?
2. Do we need to notify Amtrak (once we arrive in Chicago) IF we decide to drive and not board the CZ back to GBB?
3. There IS an Enterprise place near CUS, am I right?
Just trying to think through the logistics of this. Thanks for any help!
