Two ways limos are priced in Chicago
Most limo prices in Chicago work one of two ways. Knowing which one you are being quoted makes it easy to compare.
Flat rate for airport rides
For rides to and from O'Hare and Midway, you pay one flat price for the trip. The price depends on two things: the vehicle and the distance. You see it before you book, and it does not change. There is no surge when it rains, no meter in traffic, and all tollway tolls are already in the price.
By the hour for events
Stretch limos, party buses and coaches for weddings, proms, birthdays and nights out are booked by the hour, with a minimum. Most events have a 3 to 5 hour minimum. You keep the vehicle and your chauffeur for the whole time, and stops are included.

Stretch limo and party bus prices for events
For weddings, proms, birthdays and nights out, you book the vehicle by the hour. Here is what to expect:
- Stretch limousine, 8 to 10 people: from $159 an hour. A typical minimum is 3 to 4 hours.

Example: A stretch limo for 4 hours at the $159 starting rate comes to $636 before tip. Split 10 ways, that is about $64 per person.
Weddings and proms are often booked as a package. Tell us your date, headcount and plan, and we quote one all-in price for the event. Weekends, holidays, and prom and wedding season book up fast, so reserve early to lock in your date.
For a group, the price per person is what matters. A bigger vehicle split more ways often costs each person less than separate cars.
What is included in the price
Our quoted price is not a starting point that grows at the curb. Every airport flat rate includes:
- A locked flat rate. No surge and no meter, no matter the time, weather or traffic.
- All tollway tolls. Every I-PASS charge on the route is already in your price.
- Flight tracking. We time your pickup to your real landing, early or late.
- Free wait time. Your chauffeur waits for free at the Cell Phone Lot, with a grace window for baggage.
- A professional chauffeur. Background-checked, in a clean, late-model 2026 vehicle.
- Door-to-door service. Pickup and drop-off at your exact address, with help with your bags.
- 24/7 live dispatch. Book any hour, ride any hour, at the same flat rate.
What is not included: gratuity. A tip of 15 to 20 percent is customary and always your choice. There are no fuel surcharges and no booking fees.
Optional extras
- Meet and greet. Your chauffeur waits at the terminal door with a name sign. See meet and greet service.
- Extra stops. A second pickup or a quick stop on the way adds a small flat charge.
- Child and booster seats. Available on request. Tell us your child's age when you book.
- Extra wait time. For longer planned waits, we quote a simple hourly rate.
We always tell you the cost of any extra before you book.
How to compare limo quotes in Chicago
Two quotes with the same number can end up very different on the day. Ask these questions before you book any limo company:
- Is it a flat rate or a meter? A meter can climb in traffic. A flat rate cannot.
- Are tolls included? Tollway charges on the way to O'Hare add up.
- Is there a fuel surcharge or booking fee? Some quotes add these at the end.
- Is the tip added for you? Some companies add a set gratuity to the bill.
- Can the price surge? Rideshare prices can jump in bad weather, at rush hour and on holidays.
- How is wait time handled? Ask what happens if your flight is late.
- What is the minimum? For hourly events, ask how many hours you must book.
With us, the answers are simple. It is a flat rate, tolls are included, there are no fuel surcharges or booking fees, the price never surges, and wait time for delayed flights is free. Our rates are published on our site, so you can compare them with any quote before you call.
How to save on a limo in Chicago
- Pick the right size. A sedan fits 1 to 3 people. Do not pay for an SUV you do not need, and do not squeeze a family into a sedan.
- Share one vehicle. For 7 or more people, one Sprinter van from $189 often costs less than two or three cars. See Sprinter Van or Three Sedans? Picking a Ride for a Group.
- Book both ways at once. Lock your trip to O'Hare and your ride home at flat rates in one booking.
- Book early for busy dates. Holidays, prom and wedding season fill up fast.
- Use a corporate account. Businesses get monthly billing and one simple invoice. See our corporate car service.

The takeaway
A limo in Chicago costs less than most people think. For airport rides, you pay one flat price that already includes tolls, and it does not surge. For events, you pay by the hour, and a bigger group brings the price per person down. Before you book, ask any company if the price is flat, if tolls are included, and if any fees get added. Then compare.
