Royal Carriage monitors your flight in real time, so a gate change or late inbound adjusts your chauffeur's schedule before you check your phone. Flat fares: executive sedan $130, Cadillac Escalade ESV $165, Mercedes Sprinter from $340. No fuel surcharges, no tolls passed through, no peak-hour multipliers, and meet and greet at every terminal.

Lake Forest Wedding Limo & Venue Coordination
North Shore weddings anchor at venues that require a car service that has been there before. Elawa Farm on IL-43 is one of the most-requested Lake Forest wedding sites — a restored 1917 estate with formal gardens and a carriage barn; our chauffeurs know the staging area for bridal vehicles and the shuttle loops between the ceremony site and the guest hotel block. Knollwood Club handles outdoor receptions on manicured grounds, and Onwentsia Club — one of the oldest private clubs on the North Shore — hosts member weddings with strict entrance and valet procedures we have run dozens of times. A typical package combines one stretch limousine for the bridal party plus a Mercedes Sprinter guest shuttle, running 5-6 hours from around $1,200 depending on vehicle mix. We also cover the reception getaway, late-night guest returns, and day-after brunch shuttles — one call, one vendor. Plan it with our wedding limo packages or call (224) 801-3090.
Lake Forest Party Bus Rental
A party bus from Lake Forest puts 20 to 40 guests on board without anyone worrying about a designated driver. The coach features a built-in sound system, LED ambient lighting, a dance floor, and a bar setup — ready for bachelorette parties, milestone birthdays, corporate appreciation nights, or a group run to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. Party bus pricing from Lake Forest starts at $309 per hour with a 2-hour minimum; a typical three-hour night out to River North and back runs around $927 before gratuity, all-inclusive of fuel and chauffeur. Lake Forest to Wrigley is about 33 miles south via I-94, and Lake Forest to the United Center about 36 miles. Reserve a Lake Forest party bus or call (224) 801-3090 — prom weekends and summer Saturdays book 4-6 weeks ahead.
Lake Forest Prom Limo — Lake Forest High School
Lake Forest High School (1285 N McKinley Road, Lake Forest) holds prom in late spring — typically late April or May — and a limo or Escalade from Royal Carriage is the standard choice for groups of 4 to 8 students. Options include the Cadillac Escalade ESV (up to 6), the stretch limousine (up to 8), and the Mercedes Sprinter (up to 14 for combining two friend groups). Prom packages include a designated pick-up window at the home address, photo-stop coordination, venue drop-off, and a scheduled return ride, and every chauffeur is background-checked and drug-tested. Homecoming season runs September-October, and June graduation transportation is another popular Lake Forest booking. Call (224) 801-3090 early — prom dates fill 6-8 weeks out.
