Flat-rate, flight-tracked car service between Des Plaines and Chicago O'Hare — the suburb right on the airport's doorstep, often just 15 minutes from the terminals. From a downtown condo by the Metra station to a home near Lake Opeka or a night out at Rivers Casino, a clean, current-year sedan or SUV is at your door, on time, at our lowest flat fares.
Des Plaines is the city right at the edge of the airport — a community of about 60,000 that sits immediately north and west of O'Hare, with the runways close enough that you can watch the jets line up on final approach. That proximity is the whole story here: for most Des Plaines addresses, the terminals are only 15 to 20 minutes away, which makes this one of the shortest, lowest-fare airport runs we make anywhere in Chicagoland.
There's a lot more to the city than the flight path. Downtown has been revived around the Metra station and the beautifully restored Des Plaines Theatre; Rivers Casino on the south end is one of Illinois' busiest; Oakton College sits in a forest preserve by the Des Plaines River; and a fun bit of history — Ray Kroc opened his very first McDonald's franchise here back in 1955. You book one flat fare with the tolls included, your flight is tracked, and a clean late-model sedan or SUV arrives at your door.

Distances and times are approximate and vary with traffic, weather, and time of day. Fares are sample starting rates for a luxury sedan with any tollway tolls included; gratuity is extra and SUVs and larger vehicles are higher.
This is about the easiest airport run in the region. From most of Des Plaines we slip straight down River Road, Mannheim, or Touhy to the terminals, or hop on I-294 / I-90 from the south end — usually 15 to 20 minutes, door to gate. Being this close is exactly why a flat fare and a tracked flight still beat self-parking or a rideshare.
Because your fare is flat, traffic never costs you extra — and because we're minutes away, your chauffeur is rarely far when plans change. We pick the best route for the conditions and get you to the terminal on time.
