O'Hare Meet & Greet Service
Premium terminal pickup with name sign and baggage assistance. Your chauffeur meets you inside all O'Hare terminals including international arrivals at Terminal 5.
White-Glove Airport Arrival Experience
O'Hare International Airport serves over 80 million passengers annually across four domestic terminals (1, 2, 3, and 5) and one international terminal (Terminal 5). Navigating this massive airport complex after a long flight can be overwhelming, especially for international travelers clearing customs or business executives on tight schedules. Royal Carriage Limousine's premium meet & greet service eliminates the stress of airport pickup by bringing your chauffeur directly to you inside the terminal.
Unlike standard curbside pickup where you must navigate to the commercial vehicle area or cell phone lot, our meet & greet service provides a professional chauffeur waiting at baggage claim with a name sign. This VIP treatment is particularly valuable for international arrivals at Terminal 5, where passengers face immigration, customs, and long walks through the international arrivals hall. Your driver monitors your flight in real-time, adjusts for delays, and assists with luggage from baggage claim to the vehicle.
The meet & greet experience includes personalized name sign, baggage claim assistance, and escort to your luxury sedan, SUV, or stretch limousine parked in premium terminal parking. For international flights, we add extra wait time for customs processing and immigration queues. Business travelers appreciate the seamless transition from aircraft to vehicle, while families value the baggage handling assistance after overseas trips.

Meet & Greet vs. Standard Curbside Pickup
Understanding the difference between standard curbside pickup and premium meet & greet service helps you choose the right option for your arrival. Standard pickup requires passengers to exit the terminal, navigate to the commercial vehicle area or rideshare pickup zone, and locate their driver among many vehicles. This works fine for domestic travelers with light luggage and familiarity with O'Hare's layout.
Meet & greet service, however, brings the chauffeur inside the terminal to baggage claim with a personalized name sign. This eliminates the need to communicate pickup location, search for your vehicle outside, or carry heavy luggage through the terminal. For international arrivals at Terminal 5, this service is particularly valuable because the walk from customs to the commercial vehicle area can be quite long, and rideshare pickup locations change frequently.
The $25 domestic or $35 international add-on provides convenience, baggage handling, and peace of mind. Business travelers appreciate the professional greeting, while families value assistance with multiple bags and children. International passengers benefit from the extended wait time that accounts for unpredictable customs lines and immigration processing at Terminal 5.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the driver come inside the terminal?
Yes, with our meet & greet service, your chauffeur enters the terminal, proceeds to your designated baggage claim area (based on your flight number and airline), and waits with a professional name sign. This premium service eliminates the stress of finding your driver in the cell phone lot or commercial vehicle area outside. The driver monitors your arrival, proceeds through terminal security checkpoints, and meets you as soon as your bags arrive on the carousel.
How does meet & greet work for international arrivals?
For international arrivals at Terminal 5, our chauffeur meets you in the international arrivals hall after you clear customs and immigration. We understand that customs processing can be unpredictable, so the $35 international meet & greet fee covers extended waiting time (60 minutes included versus 30 minutes for domestic). The driver tracks your flight landing time, accounts for typical immigration queues, and waits in the designated meeting area past customs exit. Simply look for your name sign after collecting baggage and clearing customs.
What if customs takes a long time?
Our international meet & greet service includes generous wait time (60 minutes from flight landing) specifically to accommodate customs and immigration processing at Terminal 5. We track typical wait times for various international flights and build in appropriate buffers. There's no rush, no extra charges for normal customs delays, and no need to contact the driver about processing times. If you anticipate unusually long delays (such as agricultural inspections or large group arrivals), simply notify us when booking and we'll adjust accordingly.
Can I request a specific terminal for pickup?
Absolutely. When booking, specify your airline and flight number, and we'll automatically know your arrival terminal and typical baggage claim location. United flights arrive at Terminal 1, American at Terminal 3, Delta at Terminal 2, and international flights at Terminal 5. If you have specific preferences for the exact baggage claim carousel meeting location, or if you know you'll be exiting through a particular terminal exit, just let us know during booking. Our drivers are experienced with all O'Hare terminals and can accommodate special requests.
