- Corporate event — black sedan or SUV for a polished look

Royal Carriage offers four main vehicle types:
- Black Sedan — Cadillac or Lincoln, seats 3 passengers, from $89

Chauffeur notes — Roberto, 11 years with Royal Carriage
Chicago weather is the variable most chauffeurs underestimate. I add 15 minutes to any winter route between November and March, and I carry a windshield scraper and a microfiber for the interior windows because heater fog at a stoplight looks unprofessional in the mirror.
