“I switched from rideshare for my O'Hare runs six months ago and haven't looked back. Escalade is always clean, driver is always there, and the price never changes regardless of what time I land. Couldn't ask for more.”

Black Car Service Questions

What is a black car service and how is it different from a limo?

A black car service uses premium, professionally maintained dark-colored vehicles — typically sedans or SUVs — with trained chauffeurs. The term refers to the service level and vehicle type. A limo can be a stretch limousine (different shape) or the same premium black car. Royal Carriage offers both — our black car fleet includes Lincoln Continentals and Cadillac Escalades, while our limo fleet includes the Rolls-Royce Phantom and stretch limousines.

How much does black car service cost in Chicago?

Executive sedans start at $85/hr, Cadillac Escalade SUVs at $110/hr, and Sprinter vans at $150/hr. Airport transfers are flat-rate — typically $75–$120 for most Chicago metro locations to O'Hare. Exact pricing depends on distance and vehicle. Call (224) 801-3090 or book online for an instant quote.

Is black car service better than rideshare for airports?

For airport travel, black car service is more reliable because you're booking a confirmed driver and vehicle in advance, not waiting for an algorithm to match you. Your driver tracks your flight and waits at baggage claim. There's no surge pricing, no last-minute cancellations, and no question about what vehicle will show up.

Do you offer black car service for corporate events in Chicago?

Yes — we handle everything from individual executive pickups to full fleet deployments for conferences at Rosemont, McCormick Place, and Schaumburg. Corporate accounts include priority dispatch, dedicated account managers, and net-30 consolidated invoicing.

What Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs do you serve?

We cover all of Chicago and the greater metro area — River North, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, the Loop, Wrigleyville, Hyde Park, and all major neighborhoods. Suburbs include Palatine, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Naperville, Oak Brook, Evanston, Wilmette, Lake Forest, and 80+ more communities.

How do I book a black car in Chicago?

Book online in two minutes at royalcarriagelimo.com/book-now or call (224) 801-3090 anytime — dispatch answers 24/7, average under two minutes. You'll get a flat-rate quote, confirmed vehicle and chauffeur details by email, and a text 15 minutes before pickup. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the ride.

Which vehicle will I get? Is the specific model guaranteed?

Yes — we confirm the exact vehicle at booking. Our sedan tier is the Lincoln Continental, Cadillac CT6, or Mercedes-Benz S-Class. SUV tier is the Cadillac Escalade ESV, Lincoln Navigator L, or Chevrolet Suburban. Sprinter tier is the executive 14-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. If a mechanical issue requires a swap, you'll receive an identical-tier replacement within 30 minutes at no charge.

Are your chauffeurs licensed and insured? What is the difference vs an Uber Black driver?

Every chauffeur holds a commercial Class C license with passenger endorsement, completes background checks plus annual drug testing, and averages 8+ years of livery experience. We carry $5M commercial liability insurance, are ICC-licensed in Illinois (and authorized in Indiana and Wisconsin), and operate a company-owned fleet. Uber Black drivers are independent contractors using personal vehicles with consumer auto insurance — the platform disclaims liability if anything goes wrong.
