Route Intelligence

We Don't Just Drive — We Navigate

Anyone can plug an address into Waze. Professional car service means understanding traffic patterns, knowing alternate routes before you need them, and making real-time decisions that save you 20 minutes — and your flight.

Clarendon Hills sits at a strategic crossroads. Route 83, I-294, I-55, I-88 — multiple arteries to both airports. The difference between a 25-minute ride and a 55-minute crawl depends on knowing which route to take, and when.

The Deluxe Advantage: Pattern Recognition

Our dispatch monitors real-time traffic across all Clarendon Hills corridors. Your chauffeur receives route guidance before pickup — not reactive rerouting when you're already stuck in traffic. We know the 7:15 AM I-294 backup. We know when Route 83 clears after school drop-off. We plan accordingly.

Route Selection by Time of Day

Early Morning (4-6 AM)

CLEAR

Midway: Direct via Route 83 → I-55. 22-28 mins.

O'Hare: I-294 North. 25-32 mins.

Rush Hour (6:30-9 AM)

HEAVY

Midway: La Grange Rd corridor to I-55. Avoids 83/55 merge.

O'Hare: Surface via Butterfield to I-290. Skips I-294 backup.

Midday & Weekend

OPTIMAL

Midway: Route 83 direct. Fastest option.

O'Hare: I-294 or I-88 to I-294. Both reliable.

The Midway Advantage

Your Secret Weapon for Stress-Free Travel

North Shore residents are stuck with O'Hare. South Side families default to Midway. But Clarendon Hills? You have a choice. And for many flights, Midway is the smarter one.

Midway (MDW)

16 Miles • 25-35 Minutes

Why Midway Works for Clarendon Hills:

  • Route 83 provides direct, predictable access
  • Southwest hub — nonstop flights to 100+ cities
  • TSA lines average 50% shorter than O'Hare
  • Single-terminal simplicity — no tram rides

💡 Pro Tip: For a 7 AM Southwest flight, you can leave Clarendon Hills at 5:45 AM and still have time for coffee.

O'Hare (ORD)

18 Miles • 25-50 Minutes

When O'Hare Makes Sense:

  • International departures (Terminal 5)
  • United/American hub connections
  • Routes Southwest doesn't serve
  • First-class/business class travel

⚠️ Rush Hour Warning: I-294 northbound backs up at the I-88 interchange. Add 25-30 min buffer for 6-9 AM flights.

"Our daughter goes to U of I. Every break, we book Deluxe to pick her up at O'Hare. I get a text when she lands, a text when she's in the car, and she's home safe 40 minutes later. It's worth every penny compared to wondering if her Uber will show up at 10 PM."

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I fly out of Midway or O'Hare?

For Southwest flights, Midway is almost always faster from Clarendon Hills — shorter drive, shorter security lines, simpler terminal. O'Hare makes more sense for international travel, United/American connections, or routes Southwest doesn't serve. We're happy to advise based on your specific flight time and day.

Can you pick up my college student alone?

Absolutely — this is one of our most common Clarendon Hills requests. We offer Meet & Greet service at O'Hare and Midway where our chauffeur waits in baggage claim with a name sign. You (the parent) receive real-time updates when we make the pickup and when we're en route home. Your student never waits outside alone.

How much does Clarendon Hills to Midway cost?

Midway rates start at $65 for a sedan and $85 for an SUV. O'Hare rates start at $75/$95. All rates are fixed at booking — no surge pricing at 4 AM, no surprises. Price includes tolls, flight tracking, and 45 minutes of complimentary wait time for arrivals.

Do you provide car seats?

Yes — forward-facing car seats and boosters are available at no extra charge. Just request them when booking. For infants, we recommend bringing your own rear-facing carrier; we'll secure it using the vehicle's LATCH system. Our chauffeurs are trained and patient with the extra time family travel requires.

Do you serve Hinsdale Central prom?

Yes — Hinsdale Central prom and homecoming are among our most requested bookings from Clarendon Hills families. We offer stretch limousines and party buses with professional chauffeurs and strict safety policies.
