Airport Transportation in O'Hare

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Chicago O'Hare International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

From O'Hare we take you to the Loop, River North and the Magnificent Mile, McCormick Place, the hotels around Rosemont, and suburbs from Schaumburg to Evanston and Naperville, with O'Hare airport transportation booked before your flight.

O'Hare Airport Transfers

Your driver meets you at the terminal you arrive at, at the pickup point in your confirmation. We track your flight, so a delay moves the pickup instead of canceling it, and the price for the whole vehicle is fixed before you fly.

O'Hare airport transfers run door to door in sedans, SUVs and vans for groups: to hotels downtown and on Michigan Avenue, conventions at McCormick Place and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, offices in the western and northern suburbs, and homes across Chicagoland.

O'Hare Airport Shuttle

The O'Hare airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, with no stops at other hotels on the way downtown. It has room for luggage and winter gear and suits families, convention teams heading to McCormick Place or Rosemont, and groups traveling for weddings or games.

Landing at O'Hare Airport

O'Hare International Airport (ORD) is on Chicago's northwest side, next to Rosemont and northwest of the Loop. It has four terminals in use: Terminals 1, 2 and 3 in the center of the airport, and Terminal 5 to the east, linked by the free Airport Transit System train.

Most international flights arrive at Terminal 5, where passengers clear US immigration and customs before baggage claim; flights from airports with US preclearance, such as most of Canada, arrive as domestic flights. Winter snow and summer thunderstorms can delay flights. Chicago is on Central time.

Entry requirements and local notes

  • Entry to the US: international travelers need a valid passport and either a visa or an approved ESTA under the Visa Waiver Program. Have your arrival address ready for the immigration officer.
  • Customs: declare food, plants and animal products, and cash over $10,000.
  • Your terminal: give your airline and flight number when you book so the driver meets you at the right terminal.
  • O'Hare, not Midway: Chicago has two airports. Check that your ticket says ORD before you book this page.
  • Pickup: follow the pickup instructions in your confirmation, not the taxi or rideshare signs.
