Royal Carriage Limousine

Pricing for Chicago limo and car service varies depending on vehicle type, distance, and whether you’re booking flat-rate or hourly. Here’s a straightforward breakdown of what it actually costs in 2026.

Chicago Airport Transfer Costs

A sedan transfer from downtown to O’Hare runs $65-90 one way. Midway is $55-80. SUVs add 25-35%. Quality operators include flight monitoring, meet-and-greet, and 30-60 minutes of wait time. Chicago Airport Black Car publishes flat rates with flight tracking included.

Airport Transfer Price Factors

• Distance: O’Hare is 20-25 miles from downtown. Suburbs add cost.
• Vehicle size: Sedan (1-3 pax), SUV (1-6), Sprinter (7-12).
• Booking window: Same-day may carry a $10-15 fee.

Hourly Rates: Sedans, SUVs, Executive Vehicles

Luxury sedan: $75-95/hr (2-3 hr minimum). Executive SUV: $95-125/hr. Chicago Executive Car Service handles corporate as-directed work — the driver stays with you all day.

Stretch Limo Costs

8-10 passenger stretch: $100-140/hr. Super stretch (14-20 pax): $130-175/hr. Prom night runs $400-600 for 4 hours — that’s $40-60 per person. For weddings, Chicago Wedding Transportation offers package pricing that beats hourly booking.

Party Bus Rental Prices

Small (15-20 pax): $125-160/hr. Mid (25-30): $150-185/hr. Full-size (40-50): $185-220/hr. That’s $20-35 per person for a group of 30. Chicago Party Bus covers the full range.

Sprinter Van: The Middle Ground

Mercedes Sprinter: $95-130/hr for 10-12 passengers. Cheaper per head than a party bus, more professional than a stretch.

Hidden Fees to Watch For

• Gratuity: Some include 20%, others add it after.
• Fuel surcharges: $10-25 on longer transfers.
• Tolls: $5-15 on Illinois tollways.
• Wait time: $15-25 per 30 min after the free window.

Is Car Service Worth It?

For groups of four or more, anyone traveling with clients, or anyone who values reliability — flat-rate car service wins more often than people realize. The real comparison isn’t limo vs. Uber. It’s limo vs. two Ubers with surge pricing.
