Midway to Downtown Chicago Car ServiceFlat $99 to the Loop
Midway is the closest major airport to the Loop, so downtown is a short, flat-rate ride away. Flight-tracked pickups, a professional chauffeur, and no meter, from $99.
Downtown ChicagoMidway to Downtown Chicago car service covers about 10 miles from Chicago Midway International Airport to the Loop, typically 20 to 30 minutes depending on traffic, at a flat rate of $99 with a flight-tracked, chauffeured vehicle.
Because Midway sits closer to downtown than O'Hare, the Loop, River North, the Magnificent Mile and the downtown hotels are all a quick, predictable ride away.
This Route at a Glance
Approximate distance and drive time; actual time varies with traffic, weather and events. Flat rate is fixed and shown before taxes and gratuity.
Why Midway Is the Smart Choice for Downtown
If your destination is the Loop, River North or the Magnificent Mile, Midway is usually the faster and more affordable airport.
Midway is roughly 10 miles from downtown Chicago, a straight shot up the Stevenson Expressway. For travelers headed to the Loop, that means less time in the car and a lower, flat fare than the longer trip from the city's northwest-side airport.
Every downtown transfer is flight tracked when you are arriving, so your chauffeur is watching your flight and adjusts for delays or early landings. You can choose curbside pickup or a meet and greet at baggage claim, and your driver helps with your luggage before the short ride into the city.
The rate is a flat $99 in either direction, downtown to Midway or Midway to downtown, so there is no meter running in traffic and no surprise at the end of the trip. Taxes and gratuity are added at booking, and any additional tip is optional.
What the Route Looks Like
From the airport to the heart of the city, here is roughly how the trip goes.
From Midway, most downtown trips take the Stevenson Expressway (I-55) northeast toward Lake Shore Drive and the Loop. Depending on your exact destination and the time of day, your chauffeur may stay on surface streets through the near South Side or connect to DuSable Lake Shore Drive for the lakefront approach.
It is a short, familiar route for our drivers, and one they run in every kind of traffic and weather. Along the way you will get the classic downtown skyline view as the Willis Tower and the Loop towers come into sight.
- Pickup: curbside at Midway, or meet and greet inside the terminal at baggage claim
- Route: typically I-55 to the Loop or Lake Shore Drive
- Drop-off: your exact hotel, office, venue or address downtown
- Return: same flat rate from downtown back to Midway
