Just landed at Chicago Midway Airport and wondering where to meet your driver, where the limo pickup area is, or when you should call for your car?
For regular curbside service, the process is simple:
Get off the airplane, collect your luggage, gather everyone in your party, and call us when you are ready to leave the terminal.
Do not call simply because your airplane has landed.
Once you are ready, your chauffeur can approach the designated Midway pickup area and you will receive the information needed to identify your vehicle.
If you purchased Meet & Greet service, your chauffeur will meet you inside the public area of the airport instead.
Midway Limo Pickup: The Quick Answer
If you are already at Midway and just need to know what to do:
- Leave the airplane.
- Go to baggage claim if you checked luggage.
- Collect all of your bags.
- Make sure everyone in your party is together.
- Proceed to the lower-level arrivals area.
- Head toward Doors 1 or 2.
- Call the number provided with your reservation.
- Tell us which door you are near.
- Follow the instructions for meeting your assigned vehicle.
Midway’s designated limousine pickup area is on the lower level, center lane, at Doors 1 and 2.
If you would like to verify airport transportation locations before traveling, the Chicago Department of Aviation publishes the current Midway Airport ground transportation pickup locations.
Detailed Midway Airport Pickup Instructions
If you are asking “Where do I meet my driver at Midway Airport?”, “Where is limo pickup at MDW?”, or “How do I find my car after landing at Midway?”, the sections below explain the process.
When Should I Call My Driver at Midway?
Call when you are actually ready to leave.
For most passengers, that means:
- you are off the aircraft;
- you have your checked luggage;
- everyone traveling with you is together;
- you are near the arrivals exit.
Do not call while the airplane is taxiing or while you are still waiting to get off.
Even at a smaller airport such as Midway, baggage claim can add considerable time between landing and pickup.
Where Do I Meet My Limo at Midway Airport?
For limousine service, proceed to the lower-level arrivals area near Doors 1 and 2.
The designated limousine area is in the center lane. Fly Chicago
When you call, tell us which door you are near.
You can then receive your vehicle information and any additional instructions from the dispatcher or chauffeur.
Why Isn’t My Chauffeur Parked Outside Waiting?
Because vehicles cannot simply remain at the curb waiting indefinitely.
Midway prohibits curbside waiting. Fly Chicago
Your chauffeur therefore normally waits away from the terminal until you are ready.
Once you call with your luggage in hand, the vehicle can proceed toward the pickup area.
This is why calling at the correct time makes the pickup easier for everyone.
What If My Flight Is Delayed?
If you supplied the correct airline and flight number with your reservation, ordinary flight delays can generally be monitored.
You do not need to request your vehicle simply because a delayed flight has finally landed.
You may still need time to:
- reach the gate;
- leave the aircraft;
- walk to baggage claim;
- collect luggage;
- gather your party.
Once you are ready to leave, call us.
If the airline cancels your flight, changes the flight number, or moves you onto a different flight, please contact us so we have the correct information.
What If My Bags Are Delayed?
If the airplane arrives but your luggage does not, let us know.
There is no reason for the chauffeur to approach the terminal while you are still standing at baggage claim.
Tell us that your bags are delayed.
When the luggage arrives and you are ready to leave, call again if necessary.
What If the Airline Lost My Bag?
If you need to file a missing-baggage report, complete that process before requesting the vehicle.
Let us know that you will need additional time inside the airport.
Once the paperwork is finished and you are ready to leave, contact us again.
How Do I Know Which Vehicle Is Mine?
You may receive identifying information such as:
- vehicle type;
- vehicle color;
- license plate;
- chauffeur information.
Do not enter a vehicle simply because it looks like a black car or SUV.
Make sure it matches the information provided with your pickup.
If you are unsure, call us.
I Reserved Meet & Greet Service. Where Do I Go?
Meet & Greet works differently from normal curbside pickup.
Your chauffeur meets you inside the public portion of the terminal, normally after you have left the secure area and reached baggage claim or arrivals.
If you have checked luggage, collect it before leaving with your chauffeur.
The driver may display a sign with your name or another identification arranged with the reservation.

Will My Chauffeur Meet Me at the Gate?
No.
The airline gates are inside the secure area.
A limousine chauffeur does not have access to the secured gate area simply to meet an arriving passenger.
Meet & Greet takes place after you leave the secure portion of the airport.
What About International Arrivals at Midway?
International passengers may need additional time for immigration, baggage collection, customs, and other arrival procedures.
For regular curbside service, complete those procedures first.
Call once you have entered the public area, have your luggage, and are ready to leave.
For Meet & Greet service, the chauffeur meets you after you exit into the public arrivals area.
What If I Have Only Carry-On Luggage?
If you have no checked bags, you may reach the pickup area much faster.
Still, wait until you are off the aircraft and ready to leave before calling.
Once you are in the public arrivals area, call with your location.
What If I Am Traveling With a Group?
Wait until everyone is ready before calling for the vehicle.
Make sure:
- everyone has arrived;
- all luggage has been collected;
- nobody is still at baggage claim;
- passengers arriving separately have joined the group.
This becomes particularly important with Sprinters, vans, and larger vehicles.
What If I Cannot Find My Driver?
Do not walk around the airport guessing where your car may be.
Call us and tell us:
- which door you are near;
- whether you are inside or outside;
- what vehicle information you received.
We can contact the chauffeur and help coordinate the meeting.
Where Do I Find My Limo at Midway? The Simple Answer
For regular curbside service:
Collect your luggage, gather your party, go to lower-level arrivals near Doors 1 or 2, call us when you are ready, and follow the instructions to your assigned vehicle.
