What Our Clients Say
Thousands of Chicago travelers book with Royal Carriage for airports, weddings, and corporate travel.
“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.”

O'Hare to North Shore Car Service FAQ
Common questions answered
Sedan from $130 flat to any North Shore destination. Same flat fare for Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Highland Park, and Lake Forest.
North Shore Towns We Drive From O'Hare
Evanston & Wilmette:The closest North Shore towns, roughly 16–18 miles via I-90 and the Edens. Evanston runs head to the Northwestern campus, the downtown hotels, and the residential blocks east of Ridge; Wilmette drops cluster near the lakefront and the Plaza del Lago area. Sedan $130 flat.
Kenilworth, Winnetka & Glencoe: The heart of the North Shore. These are almost entirely residential pickups on quiet streets, so our chauffeurs confirm the exact door before arrival. Winnetka drops often head to the New Trier area; Glencoe runs reach the Chicago Botanic Garden and the Ravinia neighborhood. Sedan $130 flat.
Highland Park & Deerfield: About 25 miles up the Edens, with most rides running 40–50 minutes. Highland Park drops serve the downtown shops, Ravinia Festival, and the hospital; Deerfield runs frequently head to the corporate campuses off Lake Cook Road. Sedan $130 flat.
Lake Forest & Lake Bluff: The farthest of the standard North Shore runs at roughly 30 miles. We serve the Market Square area, the Lake Forest College vicinity, and the estates west of Sheridan Road. Sedan from $130.
Getting From O'Hare to the North Shore
There are two ways north out of O'Hare: the I-90 to Edens Expressway path, or the I-294 Tri-State up to Lake Cook Road. The Edens is shorter for Evanston, Wilmette, and Winnetka, but it bottlenecks at the Touhy and Dempster merges in the afternoon. For Highland Park, Deerfield, and Lake Forest, the Tri-State is usually the faster call. Our chauffeurs pick the route based on the time of day, not a fixed default.
Arriving passengers get baggage-claim meet-and-greet with a name sign, not a curbside scramble. We watch the inbound flight from the gate, so a 30-minute early landing or a long tarmac hold does not leave your driver circling Terminal 2. The flat fare holds whether you clear customs at Terminal 5 or walk straight out of a domestic gate.
The North Shore is a frequent route for family arrivals, so the Mercedes Sprinter (up to 14 passengers, from $340) is a regular request when relatives fly in together — one vehicle with luggage room instead of three separate cars. Call (224) 801-3090 to lock a sedan, SUV, or Sprinter for your North Shore arrival.
