From the Driver's Seat

Chauffeur notes — Dmitri, 4 years with Royal Carriage

For early O'Hare departures (before 6 AM) I tell clients I'm coming 10 minutes earlier than the standard cushion because the TSA PreCheck line at Terminal 3 closes its first lane at 4:45 AM and the overflow into regular security costs you 15 minutes easy.

  • Business attire standard: Chauffeurs arrive in suit and tie with a printed name placard if you request one.
  • Child seats: Available at no charge with 24-hour notice — infant, convertible, and booster.
  • Accessibility: Several SUVs are wheelchair-accessible with rear-entry ramps; request at booking.
  • Flight tracking: We monitor every pickup against your flight number and adjust automatically for delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have chauffeurs based in this neighborhood?

Our chauffeurs pre-stage in the neighborhood during peak hours so pickup times are 10-15 minutes, not the 25+ minutes typical of rideshare from the same address.

Can you handle a regular weekday commute?

Yes. Recurring commute service is billed on a monthly contract with a dedicated chauffeur assigned to your route. Commonly booked by executives commuting from the suburbs to the Loop.

What's parking like here?

Our chauffeurs know the commercial loading zones, hotel driveways, and residential valets that accept limo drop-off. No circling the block.

Do you do corporate accounts in this area?

We serve most law firms, consulting shops, and PE firms headquartered in this neighborhood. Ask about monthly corporate billing.

Is there a minimum trip length?

Point-to-point transfers have no minimum; hourly charters are 2 hours minimum.

Can you handle morning airport runs before 6 a.m.?

Yes — our chauffeurs pre-stage for early runs the night before. Zero latency on 4-5 a.m. pickups.

Why Chicago Riders Choose Royal Carriage

We've been moving Chicagoans since 2009. Unlike rideshare, every Royal Carriage chauffeur is a W-2 employee, not a gig contractor — meaning consistent training, background-checked drivers, and accountability on every ride. Our dispatch runs 24/7 out of a staffed Chicago office (not an overseas call center), and the person who books your ride is the same person who'll answer if your flight gets rerouted to Milwaukee at 2 a.m.

We serve the entire Chicagoland area: downtown Loop, River North, West Loop, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and every North Shore and West Suburban community, plus O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) with full flight tracking.
