Shared Ride Shuttles
GO Airport Express provides regular shuttle service to all downtown hotels. Ticket booths are located in the baggage claim area at both airports. A reservation is not required for incoming passengers, but is needed for return trips. Passengers will be dropped off according to their hotel location on the route. Given the number of stops that may be made on any service run, please allow at least one hour for arrival at the hotel. Current rates for one-way or round-trip are $30 or $50 for Midway, and $34 or $60 for O’Hare.
Reservations for Departures: Return reservations should be made in advance (12-24 hours). These can be made through the hotel concierge, front desk staff, or on your own — either online or by calling 888-284-3826. A confirmation number will be provided. Pick-up will be scheduled three hours prior to flight time to allow for other pickups and ensure adequate time for check-in at the airport. Please allow a fifteen-minute window in scheduled pickup time.
