Rent a Limousine at Chicago O'Hare
People often think that limousine service is costly and unaffordable. While it's true that limousines are more costly than other transportation options such as rental cars, taxis, and public transportation, it can be a good choice for travelers who want to travel in luxury, with larger groups of passengers, and without having to drive through Chicago's often heavy traffic themselves. This article will cover how to use limousine rentals to and from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Steps

A Hammer limo can accommodate as many as 24 people with fiber optics, stereo, bars, and video game consoles.

Chicago O'Hare limo rentals have many different deals to select for this special night. Though not very widely used, anyone can make his/her graduation day memorable with a limousine ride to graduation ceremony. Since hundreds of Chicago area schools hold these events on the same date, it may be difficult to hire a limousine unless booked well in advance.
- Anniversaries and birthdays: You can hire a limousine for your anniversary or your child’s birthday that would add enormous prestige to your party. In addition to the more traditional black or white limousines, Chicago limousine companies can also provide pink limousines for a child’s birthday party.
- Funeral-limousine: In one of the saddest days when you lost your beloved one, a limousine could be hired too! This you could do to pay the highest respect to your beloved one to his/her last journey. Limousines add the right kind of somber mood to funerals. Chicago O'Hare limo rentals maintain black or gray colored vehicle and perfect for funerals.
- Special VIP Limousine Pick Up: Anyone important to pick up? Want to show him/her how much you care? Sending a limo to pick up him/her would definitely expose your feeling. This we can do if you invited a certain guest to your party, a speaker in your college function, a high valued politician. The scenario cannot be more elegant if they arrive at the party in a lavish limousine.
- Learn the airport layout. Keep an eye out for signs on how to exit the airport and where to find your baggage.
- Make a reservation. As you can't ensure that a limousine will be available on short notice, always call in advance to make a reservation. State the number of passengers you have, the time and place that you want to be picked up, and how long you will need the limousine for. For pickups from arriving flights to O'Hare, give your flight number so that the limousine company can check if the flight is delayed or canceled before sending their limo to pick you up. Get a price estimate and be sure you know what is and is not included in that price.
- Tip the driver for excellent service. In Chicago, and in the United States generally, it's customary to tip limo drivers 15-20% of the fare. In some cases, this may be collected in advance and added to the hourly rate; in other cases a tip may be given separately. Of course, if the service was not up to your expectations, you can report this to the company.
Tips
- Some limousine companies can arrange to have a driver pick you up personally, holding a sign with your name. Although this can cost extra, it is excellent if you are nervous about getting lost.
- Chicago's O'Hare airport is busy, so if the driver cannot wait in his or her car, there may be a short walk to the airport pick up parking lot (5 min).
