Plan your Detroit to Chicago trip around the address where you need to arrive. A convention at McCormick Place, a meeting in the Loop and a flight from O’Hare each call for a different itinerary. Share your exact Detroit pickup address, Chicago destination and required arrival time so your request reflects the journey you intend to make.
Convention Buildings and Downtown Hotels
McCormick Place includes North, South, West and Lakeside buildings. Include the building and entrance shown in your event instructions rather than the campus name alone. If you are checking into a hotel before attending a convention, list that hotel as the first destination and the convention visit as a separate part of the request. The official McCormick Place area guide shows the campus and nearby neighborhoods.
For a Loop meeting, South Loop stay or evening event, provide the street address and any arrival instructions from your host. Let us know whether luggage will travel with you to the appointment or needs to go to your hotel first. These details help distinguish a direct transfer from a trip with additional stops.
Chicago Time and Airport Connections
Chicago observes Central Time, one hour behind Detroit’s Eastern Time. Enter your outbound pickup in Detroit time in the quote form. Put Chicago arrival deadlines and any return pickup in Trip details, labeled Central Time. Check the dates as well as the times if your itinerary runs across midnight.
O’Hare and Midway are separate airports. For a flight connection, specify the airport, airline, flight number and departure date. The Chicago Department of Aviation distinguishes the two airports and their connections. Airport check-in requirements and time inside the terminal also belong in your arrival planning.
Build Your Trip Request
Include passenger and bag counts, any planned stops, and whether you want to discuss a return trip. Give the return date, pickup address and preferred time separately; an outbound request does not define a return itinerary. Arrival planning depends on your exact endpoints, departure date, road conditions and stops.
Our Lincoln Aviator (Executive Sedan) accommodates up to 3 passengers and 3 bags; Executive and Premium SUVs accommodate up to 6 passengers and 6 bags. Review the Fleet and flag oversized luggage when requesting your vehicle.
