Transportation

Taxis

Getting to and from O'Hare International Airport by taxi is both easy and convenient.

There are Taxi Stands at the lower level curb front (outside of Baggage Claim) at each terminal. Taxi service is available to Chicago and suburban destinations. Please make sure to use the designated Taxi Stands to ensure you have a licensed driver. For your protection, do not accept rides from drivers outside the Taxi Stand or on the departure level (second level) of the terminal roadways. All taxis should have a working meter to calculate the fare based on time and mileage.

  • Fares are based on traffic conditions, but an average fare from O'Hare to downtown Chicago is $30-40
  • For current fare information, please check the City of Chicago taxi passenger information website
  • For wheelchair accessible vehicles, please call 1-855-WAV-1010

Shared ride service is available to those who wish to share a ride and pay a flat rate to certain destinations if multiple parties are available for the trip. Shared ride fares from O'Hare include:

  • Downtown ($24 per person)
  • McCormick Place ($24 per person)
  • Midway International Airport ($37 per person)

Public Transport

CTA Blue Line

 The CTA offers both train and bus service throughout the city of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. The trains in Chicago are known as the “L” and the Blue Line Trains are the easiest and most affordable way to get to O’Hare via public transit.

The Blue Line offers 24 hour service with more frequent service during weekday morning and evening rush hours. You can also connect to most other CTA lines through the Blue Line. With regularly scheduled arriving and departing trains, you will experience minimal wait times.
