ORD has its own shuttle to the car rental center, no need to use rideshare for it unless you want to. Save your money for something else.

… I expect to visit Chicago 2-3 times per year. Approximate specific $$ savings with going FROM the rental car center? Would a rideshare TO the rental car center save any $$? …

Would a rideshare TO the rental car center from downtown save any $$ compared to from downtown to the terminal?

Rideshare pricing is very dynamic, I would say that it could save at least $10. I just did a dummy pricing from my home to ORD, and to the car rental center and it was $8 cheaper to the rental center. I guess its one of those things you need to check when pricing the ride. You also need to add the time from the rental center to the airport, as you lug around your luggage.
