Flat-Rate Airport Taxi — Know Your Price Before You Ride
Your flat rate is a set fare agreed upon before you travel, based on your pickup location, destination, vehicle and selected extras. Review the total and what is included before confirming your reservation.
Choose the Right Vehicle for Your Airport Ride
Choose a vehicle that fits everyone in your group and all of your luggage. Count children and infants as passengers. Tell us about strollers, large or unusual items, and child seats so we can plan the space.
| Vehicle / configuration | Passengers, up to | Checked suitcases, up to | Carry-ons, up to |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | 3 | 2 | 2 |
| Mid-size SUV | 4 | 3 | 4 |
| Minivan | 6 | 4 | 6 |
| XL Minivan | 7 | 4 | 7 |
| Full-size SUV — 6-passenger option | 6 | 4 | 6 |
| Full-size SUV — 7-passenger option | 7 | 4 | 7 |
| Cargo Mode — eligible minivans/full-size SUVs | 4 | 8 | 4 |
These are limits per vehicle, not per person. They describe passengers and luggage together.
Cargo Mode uses reduced seating to make more room for bags; it does not combine the maximum passenger count with the maximum luggage count.
Oversized items and child seats can affect usable space. Contact us in advance for unusual loads or to arrange more than one vehicle.
O’Hare Taxi and Limo has a varied fleet, and your fare is based on the vehicle category needed for your passengers and luggage.
Depending on availability, we may send a larger vehicle at no extra charge, but never one with less capacity than you booked.
If your passengers or luggage exceed your booked allowance, the rate for the category you need applies, even if a larger vehicle arrives.
Extra luggage? Choose Cargo Mode
Cargo Mode reduces seating to accommodate up to four passengers, eight large suitcases and four carry-ons. Larger groups or luggage loads can be accommodated with multiple vehicles arranged in advance.
Car Seats and Boosters for Family Travel
Every passenger must have a suitable seat and seat belt. Children who require a child restraint must use an appropriate one; children may not ride on laps.
You’re welcome to bring an appropriate child seat.
If you need us to provide seats, select rear-facing, forward-facing or booster seats and the quantity when booking online.
Put each child’s age in Notes. Child seats provided by O’Hare Taxi and Limo have an additional fee.
Folding mobility equipment, pets and service animals
Let us know in advance if you’re bringing a folding mobility aid so we can plan safe space for you, your luggage and the equipment. There is no accessibility surcharge.
Our drivers provide ordinary courtesy assistance, not medical care. Please contact our office to discuss any specific assistance needs.
Pets are permitted. Please tell us about your pet when booking so we can prepare appropriately. Service animals travel without a pet fee.

Enter your pickup location and destination online to check the available options and full trip total. Contact our office if the booking form does not cover your journey.
These are prearranged intercity journeys, not a local taxi service for short errands within those destinations.
Downtown Chicago trips
Travel between our service areas and downtown Chicago by advance reservation, with your destination agreed when arranging the ride.
When Should You Leave for the Airport?
Plan to reach your airline’s terminal at least two hours before a domestic flight or three hours before an international flight.
During holidays and peak vacation periods, we recommend three hours for domestic flights and four hours for international flights. Follow any earlier guidance from your airline or airport.
Add driving time and extra time for traffic, construction and unexpected delays to these airport-arrival allowances. For an estimate, check Google Maps using your pickup address, airline’s terminal, travel day and time.
Weather, overnight and early-morning trips
Check the forecast the day before and again on travel day. For long-distance rides, check conditions along the route as well as at your pickup location and airport.
If snow, ice or other disruptive weather is forecast, check road conditions and flight status several hours before pickup. Contact our office early to request an earlier pickup if needed, and confirm the revised time. Severe weather may require substantially more time or a change of plans.
We provide early-morning rides to the airport by advance reservation.
A flight departing at 12:30 a.m. on Friday leaves at the start of Friday, 30 minutes after Thursday night ends. You need to travel to the airport on Thursday evening, not Friday evening.
When booking your airport ride, select Thursday as your pickup date and choose a time that allows for the drive and the recommended time at the airport.
For an early-morning pickup on the day of your flight—for example, 3:00 a.m. Friday—select Friday as your pickup date.
A long-distance ride to a Friday-morning flight may instead need to start Thursday evening to allow enough time for the drive and airport arrival. In that case, select Thursday. Book the date your taxi ride begins.
Airport Pickup at O’Hare or Midway
Choosing your pickup time
Use your arriving flight number and the Chicago arrival date and local time shown on your itinerary—not the date you leave the other city. For example, if your flight arrives in Chicago at 1:00 a.m. Tuesday, use Tuesday as the arrival date even if you departed on Monday.
Allow time after landing to leave the aircraft, collect bags and complete any required immigration or customs checks. These planning estimates can help you choose a pickup time.
| Flight arrival type | Carry-on bags only | Checked luggage |
|---|---|---|
| Domestic flight | 15–30 minutes | 30–45 minutes |
| International flight with U.S. preclearance | 15–30 minutes | 30–45 minutes |
| International flight requiring immigration and customs in Chicago | 30–45 minutes | 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes |
U.S. preclearance means completing U.S. immigration and customs before departure. Check with your airline if you are unsure whether it applies.
Allow longer for children, larger groups or assistance needs, and let us know if bags or immigration take longer. These are estimates, not guaranteed airport-exit or pickup times.
Your arrival text and meeting point
After arrival, follow the trip text with your driver details and pickup instructions.
We’ll send trip reminders by text, along with updates when your driver is on the way or has arrived.
Once everyone in your group is together, you have collected your luggage and you are ready to leave the terminal, reply to your trip text to confirm you are ready. Airport pickup rules do not allow drivers to wait at the curb, so your driver will approach the terminal after you confirm.
It usually takes about 8–10 minutes to reach the pickup area, although heavy airport traffic, seasonal congestion or construction can take longer. We will do our best to reach you promptly while following airport pickup rules.
Meet on the lower Arrivals level, outside baggage claim, at the confirmed door and commercial pickup lane.
| Airport and terminal | Door / meeting point | Pickup lane |
|---|---|---|
| O’Hare — Terminal 1 | Door/Vestibule 1E | Middle lane |
| O’Hare — Terminal 2 | Door/Vestibule 2C | Middle lane |
| O’Hare — Terminal 3 | Door/Vestibule 3E | Middle lane |
| O’Hare — Terminal 5 | Door 5D | First lane closest to the terminal |
| Midway | Door 2 | Middle lane |
Before entering a vehicle, match the driver and vehicle to the details provided. If anything does not match, contact our office before entering the vehicle.
If you cannot find your driver, contact them directly using the phone number sent by text. If you cannot reach your driver or need additional assistance, contact our office at (847) 592-4599.
Flight delays or changes
We track arriving flights to help coordinate your airport pickup. Please provide your airline and arriving flight number when booking. If the booking form does not accept your flight information in the designated fields, enter it in the Notes box.
When we have your correct flight information, we’ll track your arrival and adjust your pickup for delays to the same flight. You don’t need to request a new pickup time simply because your flight is delayed.
If no flight information is provided, we cannot track your arrival. Your reservation will remain scheduled for the original pickup time you requested.
If your flight is cancelled, please notify us as soon as you find out, even if you don’t yet have replacement travel plans. If you’re rebooked on another flight or your flight details change, contact us with the new information as soon as it’s available.
If you decide not to travel or no longer need your pickup, please request a cancellation. The applicable refund depends on when we receive your request under our cancellation policy.
There is no additional fee simply because your original flight is delayed or you need to reschedule a missed-flight pickup. Changes to a different flight depend on availability. If you request a different route or destination, we’ll explain any price change before you agree.
Call or text (847) 592-4599.
Reserve Your Airport Ride
Enter your travel date, pickup location, destination, passenger count and luggage details. For an airport pickup, include your airline and arriving flight number.
If you cannot enter your flight information in the designated fields, please include it in the Notes box. Choose a vehicle that meets your needs, review the full trip total, and follow the booking steps.
You’re welcome to request a preferred driver when booking. Please include your preferred driver’s name in the Notes box. If they’re unavailable for your trip, our team will help arrange another qualified driver.
Booking online is the easiest way to check availability, whether you’re planning ahead or need a ride on short notice. For trips requiring an availability check, we’ll review your request and let you know whether we can accommodate it, along with the price.
You can then decide whether to proceed. Your ride is confirmed once your reservation is accepted and you receive confirmation.
For round trips, enter the details for both journeys when booking. Both trips will appear in the same confirmation email, and the total for both trips will be charged together. Please review the details for both journeys.
Can I book and pay for someone else?
Yes. You can reserve and pay for an airport taxi for a family member, employee or visitor, even when you are not traveling with them.
Provide your contact details as the person making the booking, along with the passenger’s name and mobile number. We’ll send relevant trip updates to both of you, with pickup instructions and driver details sent directly to the passenger.
Payment and Gratuity
Your total before payment
Your full trip total is shown before payment and includes tolls, applicable taxes, airport fees and any extras you selected. Any applicable MPEA airport departure tax is included, not added afterward. No hidden fees.
Your agreed fare will not increase unless you request a route change, such as an additional stop or a different pickup location or destination, or need a larger vehicle category because your passengers or luggage exceed your booked allowance.
Online reservations
When you book online, you’ll be prompted for payment at the end of the booking form.
Reservations by phone, email or WhatsApp
For an office-assisted reservation, we’ll send a payment link by text message or email.
Review the payment steps and terms shown for your trip.
Tipping your driver
Gratuity is optional and appreciated. You decide the amount and can tip in cash directly to your driver or by card online.
Thank you for tipping our drivers.
Changes and Cancellations
To request a change or cancellation, use the reservation link in your confirmation or contact our office. We’ll review your request and confirm the next steps.
We understand that travel plans can change. We’ll do our best to accommodate adjustments, including pickup times, locations and other trip details. Changes depend on availability and existing schedules, so please let us know as early as possible. Last-minute changes may not always be possible.
A requested change or cancellation is not confirmed until we accept it. Please check your updated reservation details.
Canceling a pickup from O’Hare or Midway
The refund percentage applies to the full amount paid for the affected trip, including the fare, paid extras and gratuity. The same percentage applies to all of these amounts; we do not calculate separate cancellation refunds for individual extras or tips.
For a round trip or another booking with several trips, each cancelled trip is calculated separately using its original allocation of shared charges and gratuity.
Cancelling one trip does not change the price of a trip you keep. A refund cannot exceed the amount paid for the cancelled trip that has not already been refunded.
The time we receive your original cancellation request determines the applicable cancellation band. We will review the request, your reservation terms and any required flight information, then confirm the cancellation and any refund.
| Cancellation request received | Refund for that airport pickup |
|---|---|
| Before actual takeoff of your final flight into the pickup airport | 100% |
| At or after actual takeoff, but before actual touchdown of that flight | 50% |
| At or after actual touchdown of that flight | No refund |
Rides to the airport and other trips
For other paid trips, refunds depend on how far in advance of your confirmed pickup time we receive your cancellation request:
| Cancellation notice before pickup | Refund |
|---|---|
| 6 hours or more | 100% |
| More than 2 hours, but less than 6 hours | 50% |
| 2 hours or less | No refund |
For a connecting journey, we use the final flight arriving at the airport where we will pick you up. If that flight is cancelled before departure, diverted, or its actual status cannot be verified, contact us so we can review the circumstances.
Cancellation and refund processing are separate. We will confirm any approved refund; your payment provider may take additional time to show it.
If your reservation was accepted under earlier terms, we will review those terms when resolving your request.
