What "Flat-Rate" Means

Most-Booked ORD → Evanston Destinations

Northwestern University Campus

Drop-off at residence halls, the Norris Center, Allen Center for executive-program guests, or the football stadium for game days. We know every campus entrance and which ones have car-friendly drop-off lanes versus pedestrian-only zones.

Downtown Evanston Hotels

Hilton Orrington, Hilton Garden Inn Evanston, Margarita European Inn, and Hyatt House are the most-booked drop-offs. We use Sherman Avenue or Davis Street depending on which hotel and time of day.

Evanston Residential Pickups & Drop-offs

North Evanston, downtown Evanston, the lakefront — all standard pickup territory. We know which streets are one-way and which can be navigated by a Sprinter or stretch.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital - Evanston Campus

Medical-related airport runs include extra patience and quiet rides if needed.

ORD → Evanston Route Logic

Two main routes:

1. I-294 → I-94 → US-41 (most common, fastest in light traffic)
2. I-90 → US-41 (better when 294 is jammed)

Drivers pick the route based on real-time traffic, not the GPS default. ORD-to-Evanston in heavy rush-hour traffic can take 75 minutes — for any flight before 9 AM or between 4-7 PM, plan extra cushion.
