O-M has slid a great deal over the past 2 years. I finally fired them. The problem was living in the city; they need to have a car with a Chicago limo license. Apparently they don't have many and when one breaks down; its first come, first served irrespective of reservation. Twice this year, I got stuck with un-airconditioned cab rides into the city in traffic after O-M ran out of city cars. :td: My other favorite O-M issue was the cars reeking of the drivers B.O.

I have used Amm's so far with no major problems.
YLMV. ;)

Any recommendations for a car service to ORD from Oak Park/River Forest? I'm really beyond tired of Blue/Village cab.

I usually have used Blue Cab from OP. I have appreciated that they know where to go, but, as someone else mentioned, the lack of A/C in the summer gets to me.

Largely from recomemnsdations here, I tried O-M for my last trip. Yes, the car was nice and cool, but the driver had NO IDEA how to get to my place, suggesting Mannheim to the Eisenhower! For double the price, I don't think it is worth it.

Is there any updated information that someone could provide, please?

Looking to transit from ORD to Loop on an October Sunday afternoon around 4 p.m. I'm trying to decide between a taxi and a private car, as we are in somewhat of a hurry to make a dinner that night (so no El or Shared Van).

Thanks!

At that time of day, traffic should be pretty light from ORD to downtown; there are tons of taxis waiting, or you can book a limo service if you're too good for a taxi. :D

For the ~20 minute trip, I think a taxi would suffice.

'Tis not I for whom said ride via a ride in a yellow carriage wouldst be a problem; 'tis my +1, who already thinks I am a cheapskate. ;)

I ain't sayin' she a gold digga, but she ain't messin' w/ no broke... :D :D

Hi all,

I'm bumping this thread again to see if there are any updates. I have some VIPs coming into town next Thursday that want a good car service from ORD to the Loop. Should I continue to go with those recommended here?

Thanks. :)

Total number in the group.

How much baggage?

Are you looking for an unconventional vehicle?

LOL!

There are only two of them, they won't have excessive luggage so far as I know, and they're from the Bay Area so I'm doubting they'd love this suggestion. ;)

I've stopped using Amm's (sp?) because I was tired of drivers charging for waiting time of 10 minutes (Apollo doesn't) and getting stuck with a white stretch limo (the last straw was when I had to get out of one on a Friday night in front of my condo and the valets from the restaurant down the block started whistling at me). So I use Apollo instead now. If you are coming in at a busy time when taxis will be tough to get, it can be worth it (and much nicer) to take a car. But remember that nearly all of them require that you call them when you're ready to be picked up (I have them all programmed in my cell and call as soon as I'm walking off the plane because I never check bags), and you can end up waiting 10 minutes (or more), so if it's not a busy time for cabs it can be really annoying to stand there waiting.

Great, thanks for letting us know.

They'll be coming at 4 p.m. so I recommended they take a car.

OT: If the cab line at T3 is long, I recommed a stroll over to T2 and you generally get in a cab immediately.

OnT: I am also still using Amm's with no complaints so far.

I have been very pleased with a company called Corporate Cars on several trips to Chicago over the last few years. Brand new Cadillac sedans, complete punctuality, very knowledgeable and courteous drivers.^
