OK. But if you -- or someone else going on the trip -- is/are an alum of a U.S. college or university, you might find that you can get a very good deal on a one-way rental.
Would you necessarily need to overnight at ORD if you just did a one-way car rental on the outbound, and booked a separate ORD-DTW flight on the return? It's about a five-hour drive (without stops), but, of course, you gain an hour going West. I guess it depends how early in the morning you would be able to start the drive, having picked up a rental car the preceding afternoon.
