How O'Hare & Midway pickup works

  1. Land & get your driver info

    After landing we text your chauffeur name, car description, and plate. Flight tracking already adjusted for early/late arrivals.

  2. Head to baggage claim

    Follow terminal signs to baggage claim (even with carry-on only). Your chauffeur waits inside with a name sign.

  3. Meet & walk to the car

    Your driver helps with luggage and walks you to the vehicle. Optional curbside if you prefer to text when you're outside.

The Uber Black Alternative Chicago Executives Choose

Uber Black matches you to a contractor in a personal vehicle. Royal Carriage assigns a named company chauffeur in a company-owned car, before you book, not after.

Every Royal Carriage executive car service booking shows you the chauffeur's name and vehicle before you confirm. That driver holds a commercial Class C license with passenger endorsement, averages 8+ years in livery, and has passed annual background and drug screening. The vehicle is company-owned, inspected on a fixed maintenance schedule, not a personal car pressed into service.

Uber Black sets a surge multiplier the moment demand spikes. A private car service with Royal Carriage locks your fare at booking, the same $115 starting fare for ORD arrivals at 6 AM or midnight, the same $175/hr for an Escalade on a Friday night. Our $1.5M commercial auto liability policy covers paid passengers on every trip; the platform-disclaimed contractor model does not.

For corporate accounts, Royal Carriage is ICC-licensed in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, a requirement for legal-compliance transport at firms whose travel policies mandate licensed carriers. We carry a verifiable certificate of insurance on request. Uber Black carries no commercial livery license requirement.

“I switched from rideshare for my O'Hare runs six months ago and haven't looked back. Escalade is always clean, and the driver is always there no matter what time I land. Couldn't ask for more.”

Black Car Service Questions

What is a black car service and how is it different from a limo?

A black car service uses premium, professionally maintained dark-colored vehicles, typically sedans or SUVs, with trained chauffeurs. The term refers to the service level and vehicle type. A limo can be a stretch limousine (different shape) or the same premium black car. Royal Carriage offers both. Our black car fleet includes Lincoln Continentals and Cadillac Escalades, while our limo fleet includes the Rolls-Royce Phantom and stretch limousines.

How much does black car service cost in Chicago?

Executive sedans start at $125/hr, Cadillac Escalade SUVs at $175/hr, and Sprinter vans at $195/hr. Airport transfers are quoted upfront, typically $115 for most Chicago metro locations to O'Hare. Exact pricing depends on distance and vehicle. Call (224) 801-3090 or book online for an instant price.

Is black car service better than rideshare for airports?

For airport travel, black car service is more reliable because you're booking a confirmed driver and vehicle in advance, not waiting for an algorithm to match you. Your driver tracks your flight and waits at baggage claim. Mon–Thu trips save 10% automatically, no last-minute cancellations, and no question about what vehicle will show up.

Do you offer black car service for corporate events in Chicago?

Yes. We handle everything from individual executive pickups to full fleet deployments for conferences at Rosemont, McCormick Place, and Schaumburg. Corporate accounts include priority dispatch, dedicated account managers, and net-30 consolidated invoicing.

What Chicago neighborhoods and suburbs do you serve?

We cover all of Chicago and the greater metro area, River North, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, the Loop, Wrigleyville, Hyde Park, and all major neighborhoods. Suburbs include Palatine, Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, Naperville, Oak Brook, Evanston, Wilmette, Lake Forest, and 80+ more communities.

How do I book a black car in Chicago?

Book online in two minutes at royalcarriagelimo.com/book-now or call (224) 801-3090 anytime, dispatch answers 24/7, average under two minutes. You'll get an upfront fare quote, confirmed vehicle and chauffeur details by email, and a text 15 minutes before pickup. Free cancellation 3+ days before pickup.

Which vehicle will I get? Is the specific model guaranteed?

Yes. We confirm the exact vehicle at booking. Our sedan tier is the Lincoln Continental, Cadillac CT6, or Mercedes-Benz S-Class. SUV tier is the Cadillac Escalade ESV, Lincoln Navigator L, or Chevrolet Suburban. Sprinter tier is the executive 14-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. If a mechanical issue requires a swap, you'll receive an identical-tier replacement within 30 minutes at no charge.

Are your chauffeurs licensed and insured? What is the difference vs an Uber Black driver?

Every chauffeur holds a commercial Class C license with passenger endorsement, completes background checks plus annual drug testing, and averages 8+ years of livery experience. We carry $1.5M commercial auto liability insurance that covers paid passengers, are ICC-licensed in Illinois (and authorized in Indiana and Wisconsin), and operate a company-owned fleet. Uber Black drivers are independent contractors using personal vehicles with consumer auto insurance that excludes paid passengers. The platform disclaims liability if anything goes wrong.
