“Our September wedding needed 3 vehicles — a Rolls Royce for us, a stretch limo for the bridal party, and a Sprinter shuttle for 14 guests. Every driver arrived 20 minutes early to the Drake. The coordinator handled our timeline flawlessly from ceremony through the reception at the Peninsula.”

The Evanston to O'Hare Drive
Evanston to O'Hare is about 18 miles, and the routing depends on which side of town you start. From the lakefront and Northwestern the chauffeur heads west across Skokie to the Edens (I-94), then south to the Kennedy split and onto I-190 for the terminals. From west Evanston it is a more direct shot down McCormick or Dempster to the same expressway. Clear roads put you curb-to-terminal in about 25 minutes; the 7–9 a.m. rush pushes it toward 40–45.
The pinch point is the Edens-to-Kennedy merge near Montrose, which tightens during morning rush and again on Friday afternoons. Our drivers leave the buffer in the pickup time rather than gambling on an open road, and they know when Touhy Avenue is the faster surface alternative if the expressway locks up. For pickups near campus during move-in or a home football Saturday, the chauffeur factors in Sheridan Road congestion before quoting an arrival time.
At O'Hare you are dropped at the departures curb for your airline — United at Terminal 1, Delta and Alaska at Terminal 2, American at Terminal 3, and international departures at Terminal 5. Coming home, the driver tracks your flight, waits out any delay, and meets you at baggage claim with a name sign. The $130 sedan fare is set when you book, so a late landing or a long customs line never moves the price.
Built for Evanston Travelers
Evanston is a university town with a Big Ten campus, a dense downtown around Davis Street, and quiet tree-lined blocks north toward Wilmette. The Purple Line connects to O'Hare only by transferring to the Blue Line in the Loop — close to an hour with bags and a change of trains. A direct flat-fare car removes that detour, and at 5 a.m. when rideshare drivers are scarce and peak pricing kicks in, a reserved chauffeur is the only option you can count on for an early flight.
A large share of this route is Northwestern-related — parents flying in for the weekend, faculty heading to conferences, students going home for break. Trunk space matters for that crowd, so the Escalade SUV at $165 is a common pick when there are several suitcases, and the Sprinter at $340 handles a full team or family.
Booking the return at the same time keeps the rate identical in both directions and has the pickup assigned before you fly out. For a recurring run — a weekly commute or a standing campus pickup — call (224) 801-3090 and dispatch will set up a standing reservation.
