Convention Transportation in Chicago — Get Your Team There Without the Headache
Chicago hosts some of the biggest conventions in the country — McCormick Place alone draws millions of attendees every year. Royal Carriage handles convention transportation for companies that need their people moving on time, every time, without relying on surge-priced rideshares or crowded shuttles.
Why Companies Book Dedicated Convention Transport
When 40,000 people leave McCormick Place at the same time, the rideshare queue wraps around the building. Taxis disappear. Shuttles are standing room only. Meanwhile, your team has a dinner reservation in 45 minutes and a client meeting first thing tomorrow morning.
Dedicated convention transportation means your vehicles are staged, your drivers know the pickup zones, and nobody is standing on the curb refreshing an app while the temperature drops.
Convention Services We Handle
Airport to Hotel Transfers
Coordinated pickups for executives and team members arriving at O'Hare and Midway. We track every flight and adjust for delays so nobody waits longer than they have to after a cross-country trip.
Hotel to Convention Center
Daily round trips from downtown hotels to McCormick Place, Navy Pier, Hyatt Regency, or wherever the event is happening. Scheduled departures so your team arrives together and on time for the keynote.
Client Entertainment Runs
After the expo floor closes, the real business happens at dinner. We handle the transportation from McCormick Place to restaurants in the West Loop, River North, or wherever your reservation is booked.
Multi-Day Event Coverage
Three-day trade show? Week-long medical conference? We build a transportation schedule for the entire event with assigned vehicles and drivers who learn the routine by day two.
VIP Speaker Transport
Keynote speakers, board members, and high-profile guests get their own vehicle and driver for the duration of the event. Discreet, punctual, and familiar with private entrances at every major Chicago venue.
Group Coordination
When you have 15 people arriving on different flights and staying at three different hotels, we map out every pickup, every route, and every drop-off so the logistics run themselves while you focus on the event.
Chicago Convention Venues We Cover
McCormick Place (all four buildings and the Lakeside Center), Navy Pier, Hyatt Regency Chicago, Hilton Chicago, Swissotel, Palmer House, Chicago Marriott Downtown, and every major conference hotel along Michigan Avenue and the Magnificent Mile. Our drivers know the loading zones, the VIP entrances, and which doors are closest to which halls.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should we book convention transportation?
For major events at McCormick Place, two to three weeks is ideal. During peak convention season (spring and fall), vehicles book up fast. The earlier you reach out, the more flexibility we have with vehicle selection and driver assignment.
Can you handle last-minute schedule changes?
Conventions are unpredictable — sessions run long, meetings get added, dinners move. Our dispatchers adjust routes and timing in real time. Just text or call and we will reroute your driver.
Do you provide invoicing for corporate events?
Yes. We provide detailed invoices broken down by date, vehicle, and passenger for easy expense reporting. Corporate accounts get consolidated billing with ride-level detail your finance team can work with.
What vehicles are available for convention groups?
Sedans for individual executives, SUVs for small groups with luggage, and we can coordinate multiple vehicles for larger teams. Every vehicle is black, late-model, and maintained to the same standard regardless of fleet size.
