    Collect your luggage at the carousel. The first hour of waiting costs nothing.

  4. Curb or claim

  5. Into the city

    East on the Kennedy toward the skyline, and out at your front door about 18 miles later.

Where the ride downtown ends

  • A chauffeur loads a traveler’s luggage into a black SUV at an airport terminal curb

    Off the plane, into the car

    Your suitcase goes into the back at the terminal curb while you settle into the rear seat.

  • A chauffeur shakes hands with an arriving traveler in a bright, busy airport baggage claim hall

    A face at baggage claim

    After a long flight, meet & greet means someone is waiting by the carousel with your name and a free hand for the luggage.

    Straight to a Loop meeting

24/7FAQ

O'Hare to Downtown Chicago: questions

Still deciding? Call (331) 356-3856 any hour, or start a booking to see your options.

How long is the drive from O'Hare to downtown Chicago?

About 35 minutes to the Loop, River North or the Gold Coast without traffic, and about 40 to McCormick Place. At weekday rush hour, allow longer; your chauffeur plans the route on the day.

Can you drop me at my downtown hotel's front entrance?

Yes. Give us the hotel name when you book, and the car pulls up at its entrance or drive while the chauffeur brings your bags to the door.

Do I need to call when I land at O'Hare?

No. Your chauffeur already has the flight and sees when it lands. You receive their details before the pickup, so a quick message once you have your bags is all it takes.

Can I book the ride back to O'Hare at the same time?

Yes. Book both legs together and each shows its price before you confirm. For the ride out, the pickup time allows for the traffic on the Kennedy at that hour.

Why book a car instead of a taxi from O'Hare to downtown?

The fare is fixed before you book, with no surge pricing, the car is already waiting when you walk out, and nobody stands in a taxi line after a long flight.
