How pickup works

  1. Meet at baggage claim

    Your chauffeur watches your flight number from the moment it leaves the gate. When you clear the jet bridge, head down to baggage claim: Terminals 1, 2, or 3 for domestic arrivals, or the Terminal 5 arrivals hall past customs. Your driver is there with a name sign, ready to carry bags out.

  2. North on I-294, east on the Edens

    From the O'Hare exit the route runs north on I-294, then east on I-94 (the Edens) into Evanston. The Edens backs up around the Dempster and Old Orchard interchanges in the evening push, so a 4 to 6:30 p.m. landing runs closer to 40 minutes; your driver cuts over to Skokie Boulevard or McCormick when the expressway is crawling.

  3. Exactly where you need to be

    We drop you at a lakefront condo near Sheridan Road, a hotel on Orrington, or a house in the Evanston grid, not a corner three blocks away.
