Getting around Chicago with a group
- O'Hare International Airport (ORD). Prearranged liveries (limousines) may meet passengers only at designated areas on the lower-level center lane (lane 2); some services instead meet passengers in Baggage Claim and walk them to livery parking. Non-scheduled charter buses pick up on the lower-level commercial lanes at Terminals 1, 2 and 3 and in the outer commercial lane at Terminal 5, Door 5D, and are not permitted at the Multi Modal Facility.[1]
- Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW). Prearranged limousines use the lower-level center lane at Doors 1 and 2, or the driver can meet passengers in Baggage Claim or another pre-designated spot there.[2]
- On Chicago Marathon day the organizer advises rideshare drop-offs west of Michigan Avenue and south of Ida B. Wells Drive to avoid congestion, with extensive street closures across the course.[3]
- At O'Hare, charter buses cannot use the Multi Modal Facility and instead load from the terminal commercial lanes.[4]
Check an operator before you pay a deposit
Within the city, Chicago's Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection (BACP) licenses liveries, charter and sightseeing buses and their chauffeurs; suburban and out-of-Illinois liveries and charter buses picking up or dropping off in Chicago, including at O'Hare and Midway, must hold City of Chicago tax registration emblems from the Department of Finance. (No single statewide passenger-carrier licensing agency was confirmed.)[5]
Carriers crossing state lines need USDOT/FMCSA operating authority, which you can check on FMCSA's company snapshot (SAFER).[6]
