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.

Midway to Downtown Chicago: what to expect — Midway to Downtown Chicago

Midway to Downtown Chicago: what to expect

Midway's southwest location makes for a shorter, more direct run to downtown than O'Hare — 10 miles in 20–40 minutes. A sedan is a flat $130 with no peak pricing, the lowest downtown airport rate we run. When the expressway cooperates the trip is quick; when it does not, your chauffeur knows every alternate around I-55 bottlenecks, using local streets through Bridgeport and the South Loop. You pass the historic Bridgeport neighborhood on Archer Avenue with direct access to South Loop hotels and restaurants. A fast, professional transfer sets the right tone for any arrival, and the fixed $130 means the welcome does not come with a metered surprise.

The route & timing — Midway to Downtown Chicago

The route & timing

The 10-mile run holds a 20–40 minute window because I-55 is the variable. Off-peak it is one of the quickest airport transfers in the city; at rush hour the I-55 bottlenecks add the upper minutes, which is exactly when your chauffeur switches to local streets through Bridgeport and the South Loop. Along the way you pass Guaranteed Rate Field and the Museum of Science and Industry's neighborhood, with the route feeding directly into South Loop hotels and restaurants. Knowing the alternates is the whole advantage here — a stalled Stevenson does not strand you, because there is always a surface path into the South Loop.

Why book a car for this run — Midway to Downtown Chicago

Why book a car for this run

On a 10-mile trip, rideshare's surge is the cost that stings — a quick ride can still get an inflated peak-hour fare out of Midway, and the arrivals pickup spots get chaotic when flights land together. Our flat $130 sedan never surges, gratuity included, so the booking number is final. A group with bags takes the SUV at $165. Your chauffeur meets you on schedule and, if I-55 is jammed, takes the Bridgeport and South Loop streets straight to your hotel. No peak pricing spike, no scramble at the Midway curb, no meter climbing in traffic — one car, one fixed price, into downtown.
