O'Hare Airport Pickup, Tracked and Met
Step off your flight and your chauffeur is already there. We track your flight in real time and meet you the way you choose - at the terminal door with a name sign, or curbside at the lower-level arrivals lane. No app, no surge, no standing around.
Arrive at O'Hare to a car that's already waiting
O'Hare airport pickup is our arrivals service: a private, chauffeured ride waiting for you the moment you land at ORD. From the time your plane leaves its origin, we track it in real time - so if you arrive early, sit on the tarmac, or get rerouted, your pickup adjusts automatically. No re-booking, no surge, no wondering where your ride is. It is the core of our O'Hare limo service.
You choose how we meet you. Want a hands-free arrival? Our chauffeur waits at the terminal door with a name sign and helps with your bags. Traveling light and prefer to walk straight out? We'll be at the lower-level arrivals curb the minute you reach it. Either way, this page walks you through O'Hare's terminals, where international flights land, and exactly where to find your driver.
Only flying out? See our O'Hare airport drop-off page, or book both legs together as a round-trip airport transfer.
Two ways to be picked up at O'Hare
Both include flight tracking and a flat rate. The only question is whether you want your chauffeur waiting at the door, or pulling up to the curb.
Meet and Greet
Your chauffeur parks, walks in, and waits for you in the baggage claim hall holding a sign with your name. They help with your luggage and walk you to the car - the most relaxed way to land.
- Best for international arrivals, first-time visitors, families, and VIPs
- Help with luggage from the door to the car
- No phone calls or curbside coordination needed
Curbside Pickup
Prefer to walk straight out? Your chauffeur waits nearby at O'Hare's free Cell Phone Lot. Grab your bags, send a quick text or call, and the car pulls up to the lower-level arrivals curb within a few minutes.
- Best for domestic arrivals and light packers
- No circling fees - we wait free at the Cell Phone Lot
- Met at your own terminal - no train ride to a rideshare zone
How flight tracking works for your pickup
When you book, give us your airline and flight number. We link your ride to live flight data and watch your flight from takeoff to landing. Your pickup moves with your real arrival time, so you never need to call us when your flight is early or late.
| If your flight... | What we do |
|---|---|
| Lands early | We see it coming and move your pickup up. Your chauffeur is often ready before you reach the curb. |
| Runs late | We hold your ride and re-time it to the new arrival. There is no charge for the delay itself. |
| Is diverted | We follow the new arrival details. If you land at a different airport, we work out the change with you. |
| Is canceled | Send us your new flight and we move your ride to match. |
| Lands late at night | We run 24/7, so your chauffeur is there whenever you land. |
| Needs extra time at customs | We keep watching and build in extra time for international arrivals at Terminal 5. |
While you land, your chauffeur waits for free at the O'Hare Cell Phone Lot (560 N. Bessie Coleman Dr.) and drives to the curb as you head to baggage claim. Domestic arrivals include 60 minutes of free wait time, and Terminal 5 international arrivals include 90. Not sure which terminal you land at? See our list of O'Hare terminals by airline.
Landing from abroad? Here's where we meet you
Most international flights that require U.S. Customs arrive at Terminal 5, which houses O'Hare's Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility - even for some airlines whose departures leave from Terminal 1 or 3. Flights from preclearance cities (much of Canada and Ireland, among others) clear customs before takeoff and arrive at the domestic terminals like a domestic flight.
- 1Immigration - after deplaning at Terminal 5, you follow the corridors to the CBP hall and clear passport control.
- 2Baggage claim - collect all your luggage on the lower level, even if you have a connecting flight.
- 3Customs - clear the customs and agriculture inspection, then exit into the arrivals hall.
- 4Meet your chauffeur - for meet and greet, we're waiting at the terminal door with a name sign; for curbside, we pull up to the lower-level curb when you're ready.
The whole CBP process rarely takes more than a couple of hours, and because we track your flight and wait at the Cell Phone Lot, there's no charge while you clear customs. We recommend meet and greet for international arrivals - it's the easiest way to land in a new city.
Where pickups actually happen at ORD
O'Hare separates rideshare, taxis, and pre-arranged car service into different areas. The big advantage of booking a private car: we meet you at your own terminal's lower level - no train ride to a shared rideshare zone. Here are the locations that matter.
| Location | Where it is | What it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal DoorLower level of each terminal | Right outside baggage claim | Meet and greet - your chauffeur waits here with a name sign |
| Arrivals CurbLower level, center-island commercial lane | Outside baggage claim | Curbside pickup - your car pulls up when you reach the curb |
| Cell Phone Lot560 N. Bessie Coleman Dr (free) | Off Bessie Coleman Dr at I-190 | Where your chauffeur waits, free, until you're ready |
| Ride App Pickup ZoneRideshare only - not our pickup | Upper level, Terminal 2 (doors 2A - 2F) and Terminal 3 (doors 3G - 3K) | Where standard Uber/Lyft pick up - T1 and T5 flyers must take the ATS train |
| Multi-Modal Facility10255 W. Zemke Blvd | Connected by the ATS train | Rental cars and transit hub linking all terminals |
A note on timing: O'Hare allows a short grace period after landing to collect bags, and because we wait at the free Cell Phone Lot and track your flight, you're never rushed and never charged for normal customs or baggage delays. Your chauffeur confirms the exact door by call or text.
