Midway Airport Car Service for the South Suburbs: Orland Park, Tinley, Joliet

Midway Airport Car Service for Chicago's South Suburbs

Why South Suburb Residents Need a Midway Car Service

If you live in Orland Park, Tinley Park, or Joliet, Midway Airport is your closest commercial airport. But getting there at 5 AM for a 7 AM Southwest flight means waking someone up to drive you, paying $20/day for airport parking, or hoping a rideshare driver is available in your suburb at that hour.

Royal Carriage runs scheduled Midway transfers from the south suburbs daily. Your driver arrives on time, loads your bags, and gets you to the terminal with zero stress.

Flat Rates from South Suburbs to Midway

Origin Distance Sedan Rate SUV Rate
Orland Park 14 mi $69 $99
Tinley Park 16 mi $69 $99
Homer Glen 18 mi $79 $109
Mokena 20 mi $79 $109
New Lenox 22 mi $89 $119
Joliet 30 mi $99 $139
Frankfort 24 mi $89 $119

All rates include tolls, parking, and 60 minutes of free wait time for arrivals.

Service Details

Early Morning Departures

Most Midway flights depart between 6 AM and 9 AM. We handle pre-dawn pickups across the south suburbs every day. Your driver confirms the night before, arrives 5 minutes early, and texts when they pull up.

Late Night Arrivals

Southwest flights from the West Coast land at Midway as late as 11:30 PM. We track your inbound flight and have a driver waiting at the arrivals curb the moment you walk out of baggage claim.

Multi-Stop Pickups

Traveling with family from different addresses? We will pick up at two stops within the same suburb for an additional $15. Headed to different suburbs? We can build a custom route.

Why Not Just Park at Midway?

  • Daily parking: $17-35/day at Midway lots
  • 5-day trip: $85-175 in parking alone
  • Risk: Car break-ins in economy lots, battery issues in winter
  • Our sedan: $69-99 each way, door-to-door, no parking stress

For a 5-day trip from Orland Park, two sedan transfers ($138 total) cost less than economy parking and save you the walk from the lot in January.

From the Driver's Seat

Chauffeur notes — Roberto, 5 years with Royal Carriage

For Midway pickups I watch the Southwest B concourse baggage belt on the FlightAware app — belt 4 hits about 12 minutes post-landing, belt 6 closer to 18. I pull to Door 3 on the lower level instead of the standard Door 4 because the curb cops there are more relaxed about a 90-second wait with hazards on.

Vehicle Selection Guidance

Royal Carriage maintains a late-model fleet of sedans, SUVs, stretch limos, Sprinter vans, and party buses. Every vehicle carries commercial insurance well above the Illinois minimum, undergoes monthly safety inspections, and is detailed between runs. Chauffeurs complete a 40-hour training program covering Chicago geography, defensive driving, and concierge etiquette before their first solo run.

  • Business attire standard: Chauffeurs arrive in suit and tie with a printed name placard if you request one.
  • Child seats: Available at no charge with 24-hour notice — infant, convertible, and booster.
  • Accessibility: Several SUVs are wheelchair-accessible with rear-entry ramps; request at booking.
  • Flight tracking: We monitor every pickup against your flight number and adjust automatically for delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you track my flight?

Yes, every airport reservation is tied to your flight number. If your flight is early, delayed, or diverted, our dispatch adjusts the pickup automatically — no call needed.

What's included in your airport rate?

Meet-and-greet with a name placard at baggage claim, 60 minutes of free wait on domestic arrivals (90 on international), help with luggage, bottled water, and tolls. No hidden fees.

Where does the chauffeur meet me at O'Hare and Midway?

At O'Hare, we meet at baggage claim for your specific airline. At Midway, we meet at the exit doors near baggage claim 1. Your chauffeur will text you their location before you land.

What if my flight is delayed overnight?

We hold your reservation at no additional charge until you land. If you're rebooked on a different flight, just reply to the confirmation text and dispatch handles the rest.

Can you do multiple stops en route?

Yes — drop luggage at a hotel, stop for a meal, or grab a colleague on the way. Multi-stops are billed hourly if the total time exceeds the point-to-point rate.

Do you service private jet FBOs at ORD, MDW, and PWK?

Yes. We regularly serve Signature, Atlantic, and Signature PWK. Our chauffeurs know which gates to use and can coordinate with your flight crew for ramp-side pickup when authorized.

Why Chicago Riders Choose Royal Carriage

We've been moving Chicagoans since 2009. Unlike rideshare, every Royal Carriage chauffeur is a W-2 employee, not a gig contractor — meaning consistent training, background-checked drivers, and accountability on every ride. Our dispatch runs 24/7 out of a staffed Chicago office (not an overseas call center), and the person who books your ride is the same person who'll answer if your flight gets rerouted to Milwaukee at 2 a.m.

We serve the entire Chicagoland area: downtown Loop, River North, West Loop, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and every North Shore and West Suburban community, plus O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) with full flight tracking.
