Point to Point Car Service in Chicago

Point to point means one origin address, one destination address, and one flat price agreed before the trip. The chauffeur takes you directly there. It is the opposite of hourly as-directed service, where you retain the vehicle and chauffeur for a block of time and stop wherever you want. Point to point is the right instrument for airport transfers, hotel to convention center transfers, and any trip where you know both ends of the journey when you book.

Chicago point to point transfers start at $90 in a Ford Expedition and $95 in a Cadillac Escalade or Lincoln Navigator. Common flat routes from downtown are $95 to O'Hare, $95 to Midway, $90 to McCormick Place, $110 to Oak Brook or Rosemont and $135 to Naperville. A fourteen-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter starts at $165. Prices are before Illinois taxes and gratuity, and tolls, fuel and standard wait time are already included in the quote.

No. Once you accept a flat rate, that is the fare regardless of how long the trip takes. If the Kennedy adds forty minutes to an O'Hare run, that cost is ours. This is the core difference between a flat rate and a meter, and it matters more in Chicago than in most cities because congestion here is severe, predictable in pattern and unpredictable in magnitude. We price the route knowing what rush hour does, and then we absorb the variance.

None, under any circumstances. Winter storms, Cubs day games, Lollapalooza weekend, the Chicago Marathon, RSNA at McCormick Place, New Year's Eve: the rate you were quoted is the rate you pay. Rideshare surge multipliers spike hardest precisely when ground transportation matters most, which is why a fixed rate is the entire proposition here. What does change on peak dates is vehicle availability, so book those weeks early.

Fifteen minutes of complimentary wait on residential and commercial pickups, thirty minutes on domestic airport arrivals and sixty minutes on international arrivals, all measured from actual touchdown rather than the scheduled arrival time. Beyond that, wait time is billed in defined increments at a rate disclosed before you book. Because we track your flight from pushback, the chauffeur is repositioned automatically for delays and you rarely consume any of the free wait at all.

Yes, and a large share of our volume runs exactly that way. Naperville, Oak Brook, Hinsdale, Schaumburg, Evanston, Lake Forest, Arlington Heights, Orland Park, Oak Park and Wheaton all have published starting rates into downtown Chicago and to both major airports. Suburb to suburb transfers are quoted the same way, by route rather than by meter. Every service area page lists that suburb's specific rates and drive times.

A single brief stop can usually be added to a point to point transfer for a modest supplement, quoted before you ride. If the trip has two or more stops, or if the timing at any of them is uncertain, hourly as-directed service is almost always cheaper and considerably less stressful, because the chauffeur simply waits. Message us with the shape of the day and we will price it both ways and tell you which one wins.

Yes. Every point to point transfer produces a single itemized receipt showing the date, route, vehicle class and flat fare, emailed automatically after the trip. There is no per-mile breakdown to reconcile because there was no meter. Corporate account holders receive one consolidated monthly invoice showing every trip with rider name, date, route and cost center, which most Chicago finance teams can import directly into their expense system.
