As long as my search, the cheapest one is Blue line/Park and ride at the Forest with the monthly rate($100)
If I compensate the distance, the alternative is Cumberland station.

Is there anybody better idea?
The exact days for the parking I need are 22 days. If anyone find the $5 or less per day without a distance, it will be appreciated.

Thanks
The only thing you'll find for less than $5 per day is going to be free on street parking somewhere near some transit to O'Hare. Those spots exist (I know of 2 unregulated spots (no zone, no meter) close to the LaSalle stop, for example) but they're almost impossible to obtain unless you're very lucky, and in any case I wouldn't trust leaving my car on a Chicago street for that length or time. If nothing else, most streets are closed for cleaning on a schedule.

You might put an ad on Craigslist that you're looking for a legal spot for 22 days and offer like $50 or $75. Someone might have a space and see it as free money. Worth a shot, I guess. There are any number of people who bought/rent a place that comes with parking but they have no car. I do think that's way on the cheap side. Parking spots in my hood rent for over $200/month. Given the vagaries of CL you're likely to cut a deal with someone and then have them flake out when you appear.
