The drive from Chicago to Elkhart Lake

Elkhart Lake sits 175 miles north of Chicago, about 2 hours 45 minutes via I-94 into Sheboygan County. Sedan service starts at $349, and the run is built around two big draws: Road America race weekends and stays at The Osthoff Resort. A chauffeur handles the drive while you save your energy for a long day trackside, and a round trip means nobody has to leave a race early to make the drive home. We book early for IMSA, IndyCar, and MotoAmerica weekends, when the village fills and the roads around the circuit get busy.

What to do in Elkhart Lake

Elkhart Lake is a destination for car enthusiasts and resort guests alike. Road America is the centerpiece — one of North America's finest road-racing circuits, hosting IMSA, IndyCar, and motorcycle events that draw crowds from Chicago. When the track's quiet, The Osthoff Resort offers spa, golf, and lakefront stays that make for a relaxed weekend. Between race days at the circuit and downtime at the resort, a chauffeur lets you move between the two without parking at a packed track or driving after a long day in the sun. The village charm rounds out a trip that balances adrenaline and rest.

Why book a private car to Elkhart Lake

At 175 miles and 2 hours 45 minutes, this is a route where a private car turns a long race day into something sustainable. A round trip in an SUV fits the group and the gear, and the chauffeur handles the I-94 run so nobody's leaving a Road America weekend early or driving home tired after hours trackside. For an Osthoff Resort stay, the car drops you at the door and skips the parking. Starting at $349 for a sedan, it converts the drive into downtime and solves the designated-driver question that any race-weekend group eventually runs into.

“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.”
