Chicago Chauffeur Service FAQ: Airports, Quotes, and Bookings

Answers to the questions we hear most. Can’t find yours? Contact dispatch and we’ll help.

Airport pickups and flights

How do I arrange an O'Hare airport pickup?

Request a ride with your flight number, arrival date and time, destination, and number of passengers. Dispatch confirms your rate and the pickup plan before your trip. See our O'Hare airport car service page for details.

How do Midway airport transfers work?

The process is the same: send your trip details and flight information, and dispatch confirms the rate and pickup plan. Midway is a single compact terminal, which keeps pickups straightforward. See our Midway airport car service page.

How does flight tracking work?

Include your flight number when you request a ride. We monitor your flight's status and adjust your pickup time if it lands early or late, so you don't need to call us with updates.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Because we track your flight, a delay doesn't cancel or change your reservation — your pickup time follows your actual arrival. If your plans change in other ways, contact dispatch as soon as you can.

Is meet-and-greet available?

Meet-and-greet arrangements are available on request. Airports restrict where pre-arranged vehicles may meet passengers, so dispatch confirms the exact pickup plan with you when you book.

Quotes, pricing, and booking

How do I request a ride or get a quote?

Use the ride request form, call (312) 757-9055, or message us on WhatsApp. Our dispatch team reviews your trip details and confirms your rate and arrangements with you before your ride. Quotes are not instant — a dispatcher confirms each one.

How much does a ride cost?

Rates depend on your route, date and time, and the vehicle you need, so there is no public rate card. Request a ride and dispatch will confirm your exact rate in advance.

What is included in the fare?

Your quote lists what is included and any applicable fees, so there are no surprises. Complimentary wait time is included on airport pickups; dispatch confirms the exact amount in your quote.

What are the waiting-time and cancellation policies?

Complimentary wait time is included on airport pickups, and dispatch confirms the exact amount in your quote, along with how any additional waiting is handled. Cancellation terms are confirmed in your quote and booking confirmation — please contact dispatch as soon as your plans change.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as you can, especially around peak travel periods. Same-day requests are subject to availability — for urgent trips, call dispatch directly.

Do you provide early-morning and late-night rides?

Yes — dispatch is available 24/7 by phone and WhatsApp, so early flights and late arrivals are covered. Any time-of-day considerations are included in your quote.

Can I request a specific vehicle or bring a child seat or pet?

Mention it in the notes of your request and dispatch will confirm what can be arranged for your trip.

Corporate accounts and hourly service

Can a business set up a corporate account?

Yes. We offer corporate transportation accounts with consolidated monthly invoicing and dedicated dispatch coordination. Send us an inquiry and we'll walk you through setup.

How do hourly chauffeur bookings work?

With an hourly chauffeur, you reserve a vehicle and chauffeur for a block of time and share your itinerary. Dispatch quotes the booking by the hour, including any minimum length and how additional time is handled.

Where we operate

Which areas does WHA Rides serve?

Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, including O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) airports. See our service areas. If an address falls outside our usual radius, the booking form will flag it and we can often still help on request.

Do you serve suburbs like Evanston, Naperville, and Oak Brook?

Yes — we cover the city and the suburbs within roughly 35 miles of downtown, including the North Shore, the northwest suburbs, DuPage County, and the south and southwest suburbs.

Can you pick me up from a downtown Chicago hotel?

Yes. Include the hotel name and any meeting point in the notes of your request, and your chauffeur will be ready at the right entrance.

Still have a question?

Call or message dispatch, or send your trip details and we’ll answer as part of your quote.
