Hi all!

If you are flying into Midway or O'Hare and have anywhere from four to six people with you, a cab to the hotels is a great way to travel. I do not think we have ever paid more than $8.00 or $9.00 per person. It is not as inexpensive as taking the train (or bus from O'Hare based on another post), but it is much cheaper than taking a shuttle.

We usually end up with six people so we get a minivan taxi.

This is just another great option.
