Northwestern's campus sprawls for miles along the lakefront. GPS routinely drops passengers at "The Arch" when they need to be 1.5 miles north at the Technological Institute — or south at the Music building. Rideshare drivers get confused by the one-way streets, the pedestrian zones, and the multiple campuses. They cancel. Or they leave you in the wrong place.
We know the buildings. We know the difference between the Jacobs Center (downtown campus) and the Allen Center (Lakeside). We know where Welsh-Ryan Arena is and where the dorm loading zones are. We pick you up at the exact door required — not "somewhere on campus."
When you book with us, tell us the building — not just "Northwestern." Kellogg Allen Center? We know the driveway protocol. Technological Institute? We stage on Sheridan. Bienen School of Music? We're at the Regenstein entrance. This is what campus expertise means.
Kellogg draws top-tier executives from around the world for executive education, MBA programs, and corporate seminars. These professionals expect — and deserve — ground transportation that matches the caliber of the institution.
Allen Center & Wieboldt Hall
Flying in for a week-long executive program? We handle your O'Hare transfer so you arrive at the Allen Center composed and ready — not frazzled from a rideshare experience. We know the driveway protocols, the security procedures, and the timing your schedule demands.
🎓 Program coordinators: Contact us about bulk booking for incoming executive cohorts.
Kellogg executives expect a vehicle that matches their status. Our executive fleet delivers — immaculate presentation, quiet cabins, Wi-Fi connectivity, and chauffeurs who understand professional service.
The flagship sedan. Whisper-quiet cabin, massage seats, privacy partition available. The standard for C-suite transport.
Executive presence with dynamic performance. Wi-Fi, leather appointments, professional presentation.
Companies sending executives to Kellogg programs can establish corporate accounts with consolidated billing, pre-authorized booking for attendees, and dedicated account management. One invoice for all program transportation.
Northwestern parents want peace of mind when their student travels. Visiting families need reliable transport from O'Hare. We provide the professional service that puts minds at ease.
Sending your student to O'Hare for winter break? Picking them up for Thanksgiving? We provide safe, tracked transportation — no waiting on a dark Evanston corner for a random app driver. Parents receive real-time updates.
Our Escalade ESVs and Navigators fit the student, the parents, and the dorm trunks easily. We know the residence hall loading zones and the timing to avoid freshman move-in chaos. Drop-off logistics handled.
Visiting for Family Weekend, graduation, or just checking in? We provide O'Hare airport service, transport around campus and Evanston, and Chicago excursions. Car seats available for visiting families with young children.
Distinguished visitors deserve distinguished transport. We provide O'Hare Meet & Greet service for visiting professors, guest lecturers, and academic dignitaries. Professional presentation that reflects well on the university. Departments can establish accounts for streamlined booking.
Evanston traffic is deceptive. Sheridan Road looks like the obvious route — it's scenic, it hugs the lake, GPS loves it. But during rush hour, Sheridan becomes a parking lot. Pedestrian crossings, bus stops, Purple Line construction — it all adds up.
We know when to take Ridge Avenue to bypass the Sheridan congestion. We know the shortcuts through residential streets to avoid the construction near the Purple Line tracks. We know that Green Bay Road moves faster than Chicago Avenue after 5 PM. This is what local expertise looks like.
Evanston's lakefront location means beautiful scenery — and variable traffic. We account for Sheridan Road congestion, Northwestern events, and Edens Expressway conditions in every pickup time.

⭐ Lake Shore Drive provides the scenic route to downtown — we recommend it for visiting executives and special occasions.
Evanston isn't just a university town — it's a business hub with global headquarters, professional offices, and a thriving downtown dining scene.
We're experienced in handling international dignitaries and diverse travel needs for Rotary's global headquarters. Professional presentation, multilingual awareness, and airport protocol for visiting leaders from around the world.

"I was attending a week-long executive program at Kellogg. Deluxe handled my O'Hare pickup and all my transportation during the week. The Mercedes S-Class was immaculate, the driver knew exactly where the Allen Center was, and I arrived at every session composed and on time."

"Our daughter is a junior at Northwestern. We use Deluxe for all her airport runs — Thanksgiving, winter break, spring break. She gets picked up right at her dorm, we get real-time updates, and we never worry. It's worth every penny for the peace of mind."
