Terminal 1
Terminal 2
Terminal 3
Terminal 5
Terminal 5 note: International arrivals clear customs on the ground floor and exit through a single set of doors into the arrivals hall. Your chauffeur will be positioned just past the customs exit with a name sign. Plan for 60–90 minutes from wheels-down to clearing customs — we track your flight and build that buffer automatically.
We Know the North Shore
North Shore addresses require local knowledge — gated estates off Sheridan Road, private drives in Winnetka's Indian Hill neighborhood, Ravinia festival traffic on concert nights. Our chauffeurs have been running these routes for years.
Winnetka
Chestnut Street shops, Crow Island School area, Indian Hill estates, and Winnetka Congregational — your chauffeur knows which gate or front drive you need.
Lake Forest
Market Square, Lake Forest College, Conway Farms, and the private drives off Sheridan Road heading toward the bluffs — addresses here aren't always on Google Maps.
Highland Park
Ravinia Festival venue (allow extra time on concert nights), Deerfield Road corridor, and downtown Highland Park on St. Johns Ave.
Glencoe
Chicago Botanic Garden for event dropoffs, North Shore Country Club, and the residential side streets off Park Ave and Hazel Ave.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a black car from O'Hare to Winnetka cost?
A black car sedan from O'Hare to Winnetka is $95 flat rate — that covers the full door-to-door trip via the Tri-State (I-294) and Edens Expressway (I-94), all tolls, meet-and-greet at your terminal's baggage claim, real-time flight tracking, and 30 minutes of complimentary wait time. If you're coming in on an international flight through Terminal 5, we build in 60 minutes for customs. No surge pricing, no fuel surcharges, no tip-baiting — $95 is what you pay.
Which route do you take from O'Hare to Lake Forest?
Most O'Hare to Lake Forest runs go via the Tri-State Tollway (I-294 North) to the Edens Expressway (I-94 North), exiting at either Deerfield Road or Waukegan Road depending on traffic and your exact address. On heavy traffic days — especially weekday evenings between 4 and 7 PM — your chauffeur may run Mannheim Road north to US-41 (Skokie Highway) and come up the lakefront corridor. The Lake Forest-to-O'Hare trip runs about 35 to 55 minutes with typical traffic.
How long does the drive from O'Hare to Highland Park take?
O'Hare to Highland Park runs 30 to 50 minutes on a normal day. During weekday rush hours — particularly the 4 to 7 PM stretch — add 15 to 25 minutes for the Edens corridor backing up around I-90 and the Old Orchard/Skokie stretch. The drive is about 18 miles. Late nights and weekends, your chauffeur can make it in under 30 minutes. We build schedule buffers into every booking based on your flight arrival time.
Do you serve all North Shore suburbs from O'Hare?
Yes — we cover the full North Shore from Evanston north through Wilmette, Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Highwood, Lake Forest, Lake Bluff, and up to Waukegan and Gurnee for events at Six Flags or the Genesee Theatre. Every North Shore route is flat-rate, priced by the specific destination. Call (224) 801-3090 or book online and enter your address for an instant quote.
What if my flight is delayed coming into O'Hare?
Every booking automatically includes live FAA flight tracking. If your flight is running late — whether it's 20 minutes or three hours — your pickup time adjusts automatically and your chauffeur repositions accordingly. You don't need to call, text, or rebook. Your 30-minute complimentary wait period starts from when your flight actually lands, not the original scheduled arrival. We've had clients come in on winter-delayed flights hours behind schedule and still find their driver at baggage claim when they walked out.
Can you handle large groups arriving from O'Hare to the North Shore?
Our Cadillac Escalade ESV seats up to 6 passengers with luggage. For larger groups — family reunions, corporate teams flying in for a retreat at a Lake Forest estate, wedding parties — we can coordinate multiple vehicles or provide a Mercedes Sprinter that handles up to 14 passengers with overhead storage. Call (224) 801-3090 and we'll build a multi-vehicle plan for your group arrival.
