Here's what rideshare drivers see when your request pops up: "Elmhurst to O'Hare. 15 minutes. $12 fare." They do the math, realize they'll make $8 after fees, and either cancel or show up annoyed. You get subpar service for a "short" trip they didn't want.
Elmhurst's proximity to O'Hare should be an advantage. Instead, rideshare economics turn it into a gamble. The driver who accepts might be rushing between "real" fares, or might cancel at the last minute for a longer trip to the city.
We don't prioritize rides based on length. Whether you're going to O'Hare (9 miles) or downtown Chicago (18 miles), you get the same black-car standard: 15 minutes early, door service, luggage handled, professional presentation. The trip is short, but the service is complete.
The Eisenhower Expressway connects Elmhurst to O'Hare and the Loop — when it's moving. We know the traffic patterns and the bailout routes when I-290 backs up.
When backed up, we exit at North Ave and cut through Franklin Park or take St. Charles Rd to Mannheim.
York Rd north to Irving Park is often faster than I-290 during peak hours.
Early morning flights? You're at Terminal 1 before your coffee cools.

"Our wedding at Wilder Mansion was perfect — and so was the transportation. The Sprinter shuttles ran all night from our Chicago hotel block, and the stretch limo for the bridal party was immaculate. They knew exactly where to stage at the Mansion."
