O’Hare was the busiest airport in the United States in 2025, with 84.8 million passengers (City of Chicago). The holidays are when that shows. Here is how getting in and out works, and where a booked car fits.
If you park
O’Hare’s economy lots are a journey of their own: from Lots G and H, shuttle buses run to the Multi-Modal Facility, where you change to the airport train for the terminals (flychicago.com). With luggage and gifts, allow for both legs each way.
If you take a ride app
Uber and Lyft pick up on the upper level of Terminals 2 and 3, not at the arrivals curb (flychicago.com). If you land at Terminal 5, you take the airport train to Terminal 2 first.
If you take a taxi
Taxi stands are at the lower-level curb outside baggage claim at every terminal (flychicago.com). Landing late? Since July 1, 2026, taxis add $1.00 between 8 pm and 6 am, and $2.50 between 3:30 and 7 pm (City of Chicago).
Booking a car for the holidays
We work any hour, holidays included. Book ahead with your flight number and we track it, so a delay moves the pickup with it. Your chauffeur meets you on the lower level, in the center lane, and loads the bags; for a family with suitcases and gifts, book an SUV, and for a larger group, a Sprinter or mini-bus. You see the price before you book, and nothing is charged until you confirm.
