Planning your Graduation — Graduation

Planning your Graduation

Graduation groups average 6 and book for 3–5 hours — the ceremony plus a celebratory dinner afterward. May and June are peak demand and weekends fill fast, so reserve your vehicle at least 3 weeks out. We serve every Chicago-area campus, from Northwestern and U of C to DePaul and Loyola, and our chauffeurs know the traffic and parking patterns around each one, routing accordingly so you're not stuck circling. December commencements add a second smaller wave. Whether it's the graduate alone or the whole family, we make the day feel as significant as it is. Call (224) 801-3090 to hold a May date.

Choosing the vehicle for Graduation — Graduation

Choosing the vehicle for Graduation

For a group of 6, the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator are the comfortable SUV picks — sleek, roomy, and easy for a family to load. The Mercedes Sprinter executive works perfectly for larger families attending together and heading to a post-ceremony dinner, with seating that keeps everyone in one vehicle. The Lincoln stretch limo adds a celebratory note for the graduate who wants the classic arrival. Each keeps the family together through campus traffic and parking. Tell us your headcount and whether it's an intimate group or an extended family, and we stage the right fit.

Cost & what's included for Graduation — Graduation

Cost & what's included for Graduation

Graduation pricing runs $250–$700, scaling with vehicle size and the 3–5 hour block. Every booking includes a professional chauffeur who knows the parking and traffic patterns around each major Chicago-area campus and routes around them. A Sprinter van handles large families plus the move to a post-ceremony dinner in a single vehicle. Because May and June weekends are peak, booking at least 3 weeks ahead protects both your rate and the vehicle you want. We coordinate the campus arrival and the dinner transfer so the family stays together and the day stays on schedule.
