The earlier you book, the more vehicle options you'll have. Contact us anytime at (312) 446-7505.

Absolutely. Emily's Limousine Service is fully licensed, bonded, and insured to operate in Chicago and the state of Illinois. All of our vehicles meet or exceed Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) requirements, and our chauffeurs are professionally trained, background-checked, and licensed for commercial passenger transport. Your safety is our top priority on every ride.

Yes! We provide professional limo and black car service to and from O'Hare International Airport (ORD). Our chauffeurs monitor your flight in real time and adjust pickup times for early arrivals or delays, so you never wait unnecessarily.

Yes, we serve Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) with the same premium, on-time service we provide at O'Hare. Our drivers track your flight status, meet you upon arrival, and help with luggage. Whether you're traveling solo in a sedan or as a group on a sprinter or coach bus, we have the right vehicle for your Midway airport transfer needs.

Airport transfer pricing varies based on vehicle type, time of day, and number of passengers. We offer transparent, flat-rate airport pricing with no surge pricing surprises. For an exact, no-obligation price, please visit our pricing page or call (312) 446-7505.

We track all incoming flights in real time. If your flight is delayed, your chauffeur automatically adjusts and arrives at the updated arrival time — at no extra charge for reasonable delays. We include complimentary wait time after your flight lands so you can collect baggage and clear customs. Your driver will contact you upon landing. You'll never be stranded due to a flight delay.

The drive from downtown Chicago (the Loop) to O'Hare typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Rush hour on the Kennedy Expressway (I-90/94) can extend this significantly. Our chauffeurs know alternative routes and monitor real-time traffic to ensure you arrive on time. We recommend allowing at least 90 minutes buffer before domestic flights and more for international departures.

The terms are often used interchangeably. A charter bus refers to renting a bus exclusively for your group — you control the schedule, route, and stops. A coach bus describes the vehicle type: a large, comfortable motorcoach. At Emily's, all our bus rentals are private charter arrangements — you get the whole vehicle, the driver, and the flexibility to go wherever you need to go. Learn about charter bus service.

Charter bus pricing depends on vehicle capacity, duration of the rental, distance traveled, day of week, and special requirements. Our coaches range from 35 to 57 passengers. Pricing is typically quoted per trip or per hour with a minimum. We offer competitive, transparent rates with no hidden fees. Request a charter bus quote online or call (312) 446-7505.

Yes! Our charter bus service is not limited to Chicago. We offer long-distance coach bus rentals from Chicago to Milwaukee, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Detroit, Madison, and beyond. Whether it's a group day trip, sports road trip, or a corporate retreat, we can take your group wherever you need to go comfortably. Contact us to discuss your route and get a customized quote.

Yes. We regularly provide group transportation for schools, universities, churches, community organizations, and non-profits throughout the Chicago area. Our coach buses are perfect for field trips, retreats, community outings, and annual events. Our professional drivers prioritize safety, punctuality, and passenger comfort for every group we serve. View coach bus rentals.

We offer both flat-rate (point-to-point) pricing and hourly rates depending on the service. Airport transfers are typically flat-rate. Events like weddings, proms, and nights out are billed hourly with a minimum number of hours. We'll always clarify the pricing structure upfront when you request a quote — no surprises. See our pricing page.

We accept all major credit cards and debit cards. A deposit is typically required to secure your reservation, with the balance due on or before the date of service. For corporate accounts, we offer invoiced billing. Please contact us at (312) 446-7505 to discuss payment options specific to your booking.

Cancellation policies vary based on service type and how far in advance you cancel. Generally, cancellations made 72+ hours ahead may qualify for a full or partial deposit refund. Last-minute cancellations may forfeit the deposit. We're always willing to work with clients to reschedule rather than cancel. Full terms available at our Terms & Conditions page.

In many limo bookings, gratuity (typically 15–20%) is added to the total bill at the time of booking or invoiced separately — we'll make this clear when you receive your quote. If gratuity is not included and your chauffeur provided excellent service, an additional tip is always appreciated. Our chauffeurs take great pride in delivering an exceptional experience.

We believe in transparent, upfront pricing. Potential additional charges include: gratuity (if not included), tolls and parking fees if applicable, fuel surcharges for long-distance trips, and cleaning fees if the vehicle is left in very poor condition. We'll walk you through all charges when you get your quote so there are no surprises on your bill.

We occasionally offer seasonal promotions and referral discounts. Corporate accounts may qualify for volume pricing. Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on social media for current offers. The best way to get the most value is always to book early — rates are more competitive when we have lead time to plan. Contact us directly to ask about any current deals.

With over 25 years of experience in the Chicago luxury transportation industry, Emily's employs seasoned, professional chauffeurs who know the city inside and out. All drivers are background-checked, commercially licensed, and trained in defensive driving and passenger safety. They are uniformed, punctual, and committed to delivering a seamless, white-glove experience on every trip.

Yes. Every vehicle in our fleet undergoes rigorous, regular maintenance and safety inspections that meet or exceed Illinois Department of Transportation and ICC standards. Our vehicles are kept impeccably clean, mechanically sound, and fully stocked with safety equipment. You'll always arrive in a well-maintained, pristine vehicle.

Illinois law permits adults 21 and over to consume alcohol inside a licensed limousine or party bus, provided all consuming passengers are of legal age. We do not supply alcohol, but passengers may bring their own for adult events. For bookings involving minors — such as proms or sweet 16 parties — absolutely no alcohol is permitted, and our drivers are trained to enforce this policy.

While our rigorous maintenance schedule makes this extremely rare, we have contingency protocols in place. Our dispatch team is always on call and can deploy a replacement vehicle as quickly as possible. We maintain backup vehicles precisely for these situations. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities, and we take full responsibility for any service disruptions.

Unlike rideshare apps, Emily's Limousine Service offers: consistent, vetted professional chauffeurs — not random gig workers; no surge pricing ever; a guaranteed specific vehicle, not a random match; real-time flight tracking for airport pickups; the ability to book large groups and specialty vehicles (coaches, party buses, stretch limos); and 25+ years of trusted local Chicago expertise. For weddings, business travel, and important events, the difference in reliability and professionalism is substantial.

For business travelers and groups, a private limo or black car service from Emily's is the most reliable and stress-free option. You get door-to-door service, a professional driver who monitors traffic, and guaranteed on-time arrival. The Blue Line CTA train is a budget option, but for executives, families with luggage, or groups, the comfort and reliability of a professional car service far outweighs the cost difference. Book your O'Hare transfer here.

Yes! We serve all Chicago suburbs including Naperville, Schaumburg, Evanston, Oak Brook, Downers Grove, Elgin, Joliet, Waukegan, Libertyville, Highland Park, Wilmette, and Northbrook.

We've been serving Chicago since 1999 and have built our reputation on these four core services.
