You step out of Midway’s terminal into the chop of city air, luggage wheels rattling, while a professional chauffeur watches the stream of arrivals and the distant sweep of the skyline. The sedan slides forward—quiet, air‑conditioned—cutting across the low river valleys toward the Loop where steel and glass rise from the lake plain.

Choosing newer, low‑emission sedans reduces trip carbon footprint; consolidate trips when possible and respect curbside pickup rules to limit idling and congestion.
Reserve your spot on the Meet and Greet Private Sedan Transfer from MDW to Downtown Chicago today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Provide the exact downtown address
Drivers require a precise delivery address within the Loop—hotel name alone can cause delays; provide suite or room if possible.
Account for rush‑hour traffic
Allow extra time during morning and evening peaks on the Stevenson (I‑55) and I‑90/94 approaches to avoid missed flights or late arrivals.
Pack to the vehicle limits
Sedans fit roughly 2 checked suitcases and 2 carry‑ons; upgrade to an SUV if you have oversized or extra bags.
Keep your phone on and watch for texts
The chauffeur will text car make and plate 1–2 hours prior and again at arrival; staying reachable avoids missed pickups and extra fees.
Photo ID & flight info
Drivers will verify identity and flight details at pickup—keep these handy on your phone or printed.
Medium luggage with wheels
Wheeled bags fit sedans' trunk space more efficiently than duffels or oversized gear.
Face mask (optional)
Useful during flu season or when riding in shared spaces; follow local health guidance.

Portable phone charger
