This way has more tollbooths but either way, the tolls are small. After a while, 80 and 94 split and you want to stay on 94 towards Detroit and that will take you into Michigan. When you get to Indiana, the road no longer has a name. The other option is to take the Kennedy (190 at that point) out of the airport to the Tri-State Tollway (294 at that point but eventually becoming 80/94) follow signs South towards Indiana. If you go in rush hour, traffic through Chicago can be bad. If you go that way, the Skyway and Indiana Tollroad have tolls, but if you get the iPass transponder in your rental car, when you get to a tollbooth, just follow the the signs for iPass and the toll will be automatically charged. Once in Michigan, I'm not sure and would follow google maps. From the airport it's the Kennedy to the Dan Ryan to the Skyway to the Indiana Tollroad to I94 East. With numbers, it's confusing, but by names, it's easy. Once on the Skyway, after a few miles that road changes names to the Indiana Tollroad (at that point it is I-90) Follow the Indiana Tollroad to I94, which at that point has no other name. I think the signs say to 90 and the Indiana Toll Road). Take the Dan Ryan Expressway to the Chicago Skyway (this one has no number at all. Right in downtown, the Kennedy becomes the Dan Ryan Expressway (which is also 90/94). From the airport, just follow the signs to Chicago. The easiest way to get from Chicago to Michigan as long as you avoid traffic is to take the Kennedy Expressway (it starts at the airport as I-190, becomes I-90, then I-90/94) into Chicago. I almost find it easiest to completely forget the numbers when you're in the Chicago area and just use the road names. 80, 90, and 94, weave in and out of the area and sometimes you switch from one to the other without really realizing you did it. Part of the problem is the road numbers in Chicago can be very confusing.
