Luxury SUV Rental with Driver in Chicago
Why Rent an SUV with a Driver?
Renting a luxury SUV on your own means navigating Chicago traffic, finding parking downtown at $60 a day, and dealing with tolls on the Jane Addams Tollway. Hiring a chauffeured SUV means you sit back, take calls, and arrive relaxed.
Royal Carriage operates Cadillac Escalades and Chevrolet Suburbans with professional drivers for corporate clients, wedding parties, airport pickups, and city tours across Chicagoland.

Corporate: Fortune 500 clients book our Escalades for executive roadshows along the Magnificent Mile and transportation to McCormick Place conferences. We provide meet-and-greet at O'Hare Terminal 2 and Terminal 5 for international arrivals.
Weddings: Our Escalade fits the bride, groom, and wedding planner with room for dress bags. Popular routes include St. James Chapel to The Drake Hotel and Holy Name Cathedral to the Peninsula.

From the Driver's Seat
Chauffeur notes — James, 6 years with Royal Carriage
Evanston to O'Hare via the Edens is the rookie route — I cut across Dempster to the Tri-State (I-294) because the Edens/Kennedy merge at Montrose eats 15 minutes after 4 PM without fail.

Vehicle Selection Guidance
Royal Carriage maintains a late-model fleet of sedans, SUVs, stretch limos, Sprinter vans, and party buses. Every vehicle carries commercial insurance well above the Illinois minimum, undergoes monthly safety inspections, and is detailed between runs. Chauffeurs complete a 40-hour training program covering Chicago geography, defensive driving, and concierge etiquette before their first solo run.
- Business attire standard: Chauffeurs arrive in suit and tie with a printed name placard if you request one.
- Child seats: Available at no charge with 24-hour notice — infant, convertible, and booster.
- Accessibility: Several SUVs are wheelchair-accessible with rear-entry ramps; request at booking.
- Flight tracking: We monitor every pickup against your flight number and adjust automatically for delays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you include stops along the way?
Yes — sightseeing and photo stops are included in hourly bookings. Popular stops: the Bean, Navy Pier, Buckingham Fountain, the Riverwalk, and Willis Tower Skydeck.
Can you handle a full day of sightseeing?
Absolutely. A 6-8 hour charter is our most popular tourism package. We'll design an itinerary based on your interests (architecture, food, museums, neighborhoods) or follow yours.
Is this better than a tour bus?
It's a different experience. Group tours hit fixed stops on a schedule; a private Royal Carriage charter goes where you want, stays as long as you want, and skips anything that doesn't interest you.
Can you combine it with a boat tour or museum tickets?
Yes. We can pre-book Wendella, Shoreline, or Mercury cruise tickets, plus Art Institute and Field Museum fast-track entry, and include it all on one invoice.
What if it rains?
Your vehicle is your mobile shelter. We'll adapt the itinerary toward indoor attractions (Shedd, Field Museum, Art Institute) without changing the rate.
Do chauffeurs double as tour guides?
Our senior chauffeurs know Chicago deeply and are happy to narrate highlights. For a formal licensed tour guide, we can include one for an additional $75/hour.
Why Chicago Riders Choose Royal Carriage
We've been moving Chicagoans since 2009. Unlike rideshare, every Royal Carriage chauffeur is a W-2 employee, not a gig contractor — meaning consistent training, background-checked drivers, and accountability on every ride. Our dispatch runs 24/7 out of a staffed Chicago office (not an overseas call center), and the person who books your ride is the same person who'll answer if your flight gets rerouted to Milwaukee at 2 a.m.
We serve the entire Chicagoland area: downtown Loop, River North, West Loop, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and every North Shore and West Suburban community, plus O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) with full flight tracking.
