Why Airport Shuttles Are a Bad Deal in 2026
Chicago airport shuttles sound cheap until you factor in what they actually cost you. A shared van from O’Hare to downtown runs $30 to $40 per person, stops at three or four hotels before yours, and takes 90 minutes for a trip that should take 35.
For a family of three, that is $90 to $120 on a shuttle. A private sedan with Royal Carriage is $89 flat from O’Hare to any downtown address. You do the math.
