McCormick Place is about 10 miles from Midway, on the lake just south of downtown. You pay a flat $99, so show traffic does not add to the fare.
Bringing a team or booth gear? The Mercedes Sprinter van seats up to 14, with room for bags and equipment. Speakers and executives often pick a luxury SUV.
Landing the night before setup? We track every arriving flight, so a late landing does not mean a missed pickup. With meet and greet, your chauffeur waits at baggage claim with a name sign and helps with your cases. You can also meet the car at the arrivals curb.
