Airport Cab, Shuttle or Car Service — What Locals Call It
People search for this ride under a lot of different names, and the labels genuinely mean different things. If you are looking for a Des Plaines airport cab, a Des Plaines airport shuttle, Des Plaines airport transportation, or a car service or limo from Midway, here is what each one actually gets you.
- Airport cab / taxi — usually means a metered vehicle you hail. In Des Plaines there is no street-hail cab rank, so a suburban "cab" from MDW is almost always a pre-arranged car like ours, quoted at a flat published fare instead of a meter.
- Airport shuttle — strictly, a shared van running a fixed route with other passengers and multiple stops. Cheaper per seat, but you travel on its schedule, not yours. What we dispatch is private: your vehicle goes from Midway to Des Plaines direct, with nobody else aboard and no detours.
- Car service / black car / limo — a pre-booked licensed livery vehicle. That is exactly what this is. "Limo" does not mean a stretch; it is the industry term for pre-arranged livery, and a standard sedan is the default vehicle.
- Airport transportation — the catch-all covering all of the above, plus rideshare, parking and Metra.
Whichever term you searched for, the service is the same: a licensed, insured driver collects you at Midway International Airport (MDW) and takes you directly to your Des Plaines address at a fare agreed before you travel. No meter, no surge, no shared van, and no app required — call (224) 333-2462 or book online.
