O'Hare Taxi Terminal 2

Where a Pre-Booked Taxi Meets You at Terminal 2

Terminal 2 pre-arranged pickup is on the lower level, center lane (Car Services / TNP). This is the part most O'Hare pickup guides get wrong: the taxi stand at the curb front is for metered street-hail cabs. A pre-booked car is a livery vehicle, and the Chicago Department of Aviation only permits liveries to meet passengers at the designated pre-arranged area.

Terminal 2 is scheduled to be rebuilt as part of the O'Hare 21 Global Terminal programme, and the construction timeline has shifted more than once. Gate and airline assignments here change more often than at the other terminals, so confirm your terminal on your boarding pass on the day you fly rather than relying on a previous trip.

Terminal 2 Pickup, Step by Step

• 1. Land and collect your bags. Do not call from the gate — the driver cannot hold at the lane.
• 2. Call dispatch on (224) 333-2462. You will be given the vehicle description, plate number and the exact door to walk to.
• 3. Walk to the lower level, center lane (Car Services / TNP). Follow the signs for pre-arranged or livery pickup, not the taxi stand.
• 4. Allow 5 to 20 minutes. Livery vehicles wait in designated lots across from the terminals, so arrival time varies with airport traffic.

If your inbound flight is reassigned to a different terminal after you have booked — which happens at O'Hare more than travellers expect — text dispatch the change. The pickup point moves, the fare does not.
