Flat Rate Taxi from Waukegan to O'Hare & Midway
As Lake County’s biggest city, Waukegan is a long haul from both Chicago airports, which is exactly where a flat-rate taxi beats a meter. From neighborhoods off Grand Avenue, Green Bay Road, or the Amstutz Expressway, the run to O’Hare takes about 45 to 60 minutes down I-94 and the Tri-State; Midway is a longer trip at roughly 75 to 95 minutes. Chicago American Taxi Cab charges one fixed fare for the whole ride, quoted when you reserve, so a slow crawl on the tollway never inflates your bill. Advance booking is required for every trip.
