Standard 24-Hour Window

The standard Chicago limo cancellation window is 24 hours before the trip. Cancellations outside that window are usually free or carry a small admin fee ($25). Inside 24 hours, the deposit (typically 25-50% of the total) is forfeit. Some operators are stricter — wedding-day bookings often have a 14-day window.

The pricing and airport limo service flows show the exact cancellation terms at booking. There are no fine-print surprises.

Airport vs Event Cancellation Rules

Airport bookings are the most flexible — most operators allow free cancellation up to 4-6 hours before pickup. Event bookings (weddings, proms, corporate events) are stricter, with 7-14 day cancellation windows. Holiday bookings (NYE, July 4, Memorial Day) are non-cancellable past a certain date.

The pricing airport bookings run the flexible window. The airport limo service event bookings run the standard window.

Flight Delays and Cancellations

For airport bookings, flight delays don’t trigger a cancellation fee — the booking adjusts to the new arrival time automatically. Flight cancellations that move the trip to a different day also don’t trigger a fee, as long as the new day is notified within a reasonable window. The pricing and airport limo service flight-tracking flow handles this without a phone call needed.

For non-flight cancellations (rider chooses to cancel), the standard 24-hour window applies.

“Royal Carriage tracks my Thursday return flight automatically. When it delays — which happens often — the driver is there when I actually land, not when the original gate said.”

— Dr. M. Reyes, Hinsdale

No-Show Fees

No-show fees apply when the rider doesn’t show at the pickup point and doesn’t contact the driver. For airport runs, the driver waits 30-60 minutes at baggage claim before declaring a no-show. For event pickups, the driver waits 15 minutes. The no-show fee is typically 50-100% of the booking.

The pricing and airport limo service drivers text on arrival. If the rider doesn’t respond within the wait window, the booking goes to no-show.

How to Reschedule Without a Fee

To reschedule without a fee: notify the operator more than 24 hours before the original trip. The new date must be within 90 days of the original. Vehicles transfer between dates 1:1 — the same hourly or flat-rate price applies. Some operators allow 1-2 reschedules per booking; beyond that, a fee may apply.

The O’Hare limo and Midway limo flows allow reschedules via phone ((224) 801-3090) or via the booking-confirmation email.
