North Shore
Limo Service
Royal Carriage provides limousine service across Chicago's North Shore corridor — Wilmette, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Highland Park, and Lake Forest. Executive sedans from $85/hour, Escalade SUVs from $110/hour, flat-rate O'Hare transfers from $120. Corporate accounts with dedicated drivers and net-30 billing. Call (224) 801-3090.
The North Shore runs 20 miles along Lake Michigan from Wilmette to Lake Forest. We cover every community in between — for airport runs, executive commutes, weddings at lakefront estates, and summer nights at Ravinia.

What We Do on the North Shore
Airport Transfers
O'Hare is 25–50 minutes from the North Shore depending on your town and traffic. Our drivers take Edens Expressway (I-94) to I-190, or cut through Touhy when the expressway backs up. Midway runs 45–65 minutes via I-94 south to I-55. We monitor flight delays in real time and adjust pickup accordingly — no charge for wait time on delayed flights.
Corporate Accounts
North Shore executives commuting to the Loop, O'Hare, or Schaumburg account for a significant portion of our weekday business. We offer dedicated driver assignments, morning pickup schedules, and net-30 consolidated invoicing. Most corporate clients book a standing daily sedan or Escalade at a monthly retainer rate.
Wedding Transportation
North Shore wedding venues like the Michigan Shores Club in Wilmette, North Shore Country Club in Glenview, and Deerpath Inn in Lake Forest each have specific staging and arrival logistics our drivers know well. We coordinate with venue managers on pull-up timing and photo positioning.
Ravinia & Special Events
Ravinia Festival in Highland Park runs June through September and draws crowds that gridlock Green Bay Road. We drop at the main gate on Lake Cook Road, stage in the designated limo lot, and pick up at the south exit after the show. Pre-booking is the only way to guarantee a ride out after a Saturday headliner.

What Our Customers Say
“Caught the last Southwest out of MDW with three minutes to spare because the driver knew the dispatch trick — drop at Concourse A north entrance, not the main island. Beat the security line by going up the elevator instead of escalator. That's a pro.”
— Mike D. · Midway last-flight save
“MDW pickup at 4:15 AM, Cadillac CT6, driver had a bottle of water and the heat already cranked because it was 14°. That kind of thinking-ahead is what you're paying for.”
— Karen S. · Midway weekly traveler
