Limousines
Limousines are available for City of Chicago and suburban destinations. Contact your company of choice near the ride boards to make reservations, or reference the listing of pre-arranged limousine services, which is posted near the airport information booths, across from Door C, located on the lower-level of each terminal.
Pre-Arragned
Arriving passengers should call their limousine service once they have claimed their luggage. They will then be provided with a license plate number, a description of the car, and/or a door number where they can meet their driver. Liveries can only meet passengers at designated areas on the the lower level center lane (lane 2). Depending on airport traffic it can take between 5 and 20 minutes for the vehicle to get to the designated pickup location.
Driver in Baggage Claim Area
Some limousine services have employees that are available to meet arriving passengers in the baggage claim area of their flight or in any other pre-designated pickup location within the terminals baggage claim area. The driver can then assist with luggage and take the passenger directly to their vehicle. O'Hare International Airport provides designated livery parking directly across from each of the terminals. It is typically a 5- to 7-minute walk to the vehicle.
