Midway Limo Service From Orland Park and the Chicago South Suburbs
The Close Airport, Roughly Half an Hour Away, With No Parking to Deal With
Midway International is the south suburbs' home airport. From Orland Park and the surrounding communities it is generally a 30 to 40 minute drive, roughly half the trip to O'Hare, on a single terminal campus that is far simpler to navigate. Emily's Limousine Service provides chauffeured Midway transfers with flight tracking, curbside pickup, and vehicles from a single sedan to a 57 passenger coach. Rates start at $95.

Why Book a Car to Midway When It Is Only Half an Hour Away
It is a fair question. The drive is short, so why not just take your own car? The answer is what happens after you park it. Midway parking accrues every single day your car sits there, and on the way back you are riding a shuttle, hunting your row, and, for a good chunk of the year, scraping ice off a windshield at eleven at night after a delayed flight.
Midway limo service removes that entire back half of the trip. You get dropped at the terminal door, and when you land someone is waiting at the curb. For two or more travelers, or any trip longer than a couple of days, the cost frequently lands in the same neighborhood as parking once you account for the daily rate.
The short drive is also what makes Midway transfers our most affordable airport runs from the south suburbs. Less distance, less time, less exposure to the traffic that makes the O'Hare run unpredictable.
Getting to Midway On Time From the South Suburbs
Midway's single terminal layout is genuinely easier than a multi terminal airport. There is no question about which building you need and no inter terminal shuttle to factor in. You are dropped at the departures level entrance and check in is right there.
That said, security lines at Midway swing hard by time of day, and the early morning bank of departures fills the checkpoint. We usually suggest about two hours at the airport for a domestic flight, plus the 30 to 40 minute drive, which puts most south suburban pickups around two and a half to three hours before departure.

| Trip | Typical Timing | Planning Note |
|---|---|---|
| South suburbs to Midway | Roughly 30 to 40 minutes | Shorter and more predictable than the O'Hare run |
| Domestic departure | About 2 hours at airport | Pickup roughly 2.5 to 3 hours before departure |
| Early morning flight | Add extra cushion | The first departure bank fills security quickly |
These are planning guidelines, not guarantees. We recommend a specific pickup time when you book based on your flight and travel day.
How Your Midway Pickup Works When You Land
Midway's compact footprint works in your favor on arrival. The walk from baggage claim to the curb is short, so there is less time between landing and being in the car than at a sprawling airport.
You Land
We are tracking your flight and know your real arrival time, not the scheduled one.
Chauffeur Contacts You
Your driver reaches out and confirms the pickup spot.
Grab Your Bags
Baggage claim to the arrivals curb is a short walk at Midway.
Head Home
Bags loaded and you are southbound, usually within half an hour of the curb.
Curbside Pickup
Curbside on the arrivals level is our default at Midway and it works well here precisely because the airport is small. Your chauffeur coordinates by phone once you are on the ground, so you walk out and the car is there rather than circling.
Meet and Greet Inside
If you would rather your driver wait inside with a name sign, ask when you book. It is worth it for elderly travelers, kids flying alone, anyone with mobility needs, or clients you are hosting and want received properly rather than texted directions.
Late Night and Delayed Arrivals
Midway runs a heavy domestic schedule and weather delays push a lot of flights into the late evening. Our dispatch operates 24 hours, so a flight that lands at midnight still has a driver at the curb. Flight tracking is what makes that work, so give us the flight number.
Midway Compared to O'Hare for South Suburban Travelers
When your destination is served by both airports, the decision is mostly about time. Here is the honest comparison.
| Factor | Midway (MDW) | O'Hare (ORD) |
|---|---|---|
| Drive from south suburbs | Roughly 30 to 40 minutes | Roughly an hour or more |
| Terminal layout | Single terminal, compact | Multiple terminals across a large campus |
| Destinations | Primarily domestic | Extensive domestic and international |
| Recommended buffer | Smaller, the drive is predictable | Larger, expressway traffic varies widely |
| Typical transfer cost | Lower, shorter distance | Higher, longer drive |

Midway Transfers for Every Kind of Traveler
Business Travelers
Midway's domestic network makes it the workhorse airport for regional business travel. A short chauffeured ride means you can take a call on the way out and decompress on the way back. Companies with regular travel set up recurring bookings through our corporate limousine service.
Families and Vacation Travel
Families flying out of Midway on a domestic vacation hit the luggage wall fast. Car seats, checked bags, a stroller, and suddenly a sedan is not the answer. A Suburban, Escalade, or Navigator handles it, and our 14 passenger Sprinter takes the whole extended family with bags in one vehicle.
Groups and Teams
Sports teams, wedding parties flying out together, and corporate groups move better in one vehicle. Our coach buses seat 35 to 57 passengers, and because Midway is close, group runs there cost less than the same trip north.
Oak Lawn and Nearby Communities
Some of our service area sits very close to Midway. Oak Lawn in particular is a short hop, which makes those transfers quick and affordable. If you are in one of the closer suburbs, a Midway car service is close to a no brainer compared to parking.
Vehicles for Your Midway Transfer
Pick by headcount and luggage. These are the most common choices for a Midway run.

Tips for a Smooth Midway Transfer
- Give us the flight number. Midway sees a lot of weather delays in winter and summer. The flight number is what lets your pickup move with your flight.
- Do not under budget the early morning. Midway's first departure bank fills security fast. The short drive does not help if the checkpoint is 40 minutes deep.
- Compare against parking honestly. Multiply the daily rate by your trip length before deciding. For longer trips, the car service often wins outright.
- Count bags before choosing a vehicle. Midway is a heavy leisure travel airport, which means checked bags. Four travelers with four large cases need an SUV.
- Book the return at the same time. Setting up your arrival pickup when you book the departure means nothing to arrange while you are away.
- Ask about meet and greet for family. Parents flying in, kids traveling alone, and anyone needing a hand are better served inside than at a curb.
