O'Hare to McCormick Place

O'Hare to McCormick Place car service, building by building

McCormick Place is four buildings, the North, South and West Buildings and Lakeside Center, with about 2.6 million square feet of exhibit halls. The South Building links to the others by sky bridges, and the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, the Marriott Marquis Chicago and the Hilton hotels on the campus connect to the halls by skyway, so many guests never step outside between their room and their booth.

Show guides have listed Gate 4 on the South Building, Gate 40 on the West Building and Gate 22 on the North Building for taxi and rideshare pickups, and Lakeside Center has its own gate; check the guide for your show and put the gate on the booking. At show close, book the return to O'Hare for the hour the floor shuts, and the chauffeur meets you at that same door.

O'Hare to McCormick Place: 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 McCormick Place?

About 40 minutes without traffic, a little over 20 miles. On a weekday afternoon the Kennedy and the Loop add time, so give a setup-day pickup some slack.

Which McCormick Place building should I give the driver?

The one your show is in: North, South, West or Lakeside Center. Your show's guide lists the building and the taxi gate, and the hotel name works if you are checking in first.

Which hotels connect to McCormick Place?

The Hyatt Regency McCormick Place, the Marriott Marquis Chicago and the Hilton hotels on the campus link to the halls by skyway. We drop you at the hotel entrance with your bags.

Can you take us back to O'Hare when the show closes?

Yes. Book the return with the closing time and the gate, and allow for the crowd leaving at once. Every leg is priced before you confirm.

Can you meet our exhibitors at O'Hare as they land on different flights?

Yes. Send the flight list; Executive Sprinters for 14 meet each wave, and the mini coach and motor coach are quoted for larger arrivals.
