The Real Cost of Choosing a Chicago Airport
A cheaper fare out of O’Hare or Midway has to cover the extra cost of getting there. Add the ride or the parking, plus the time, and compare.
| Travelers sharing one sedan | O’Hare or Midway round trip by car service | Extra cost per person |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | From $398 | $398 |
| 2 | From $398 | $199 |
| 3 | From $398 | About $133 |
A sedan seats 1 to 3, so the price is per vehicle and falls per person as more people share it. A group of six in a luxury SUV, or a team in a Sprinter, shares the cost even further.
Drive and Park: What It Really Adds Up To
| Trip length | O’Hare economy parking | Midway economy parking |
|---|---|---|
| 3 days | $48 to $90 | $45 |
| 7 days | $112 to $210 | $105 |
Parking is the smaller number. The rest is gas, tolls, about 160 miles of round-trip driving to O’Hare or more to Midway, and several hours behind the wheel in Chicago traffic.
When Each Airport Wins
| Choose | When |
|---|---|
| MKE | It serves your destination, even with a connection, and fares are close. You get the shortest drive and an easy terminal. |
| O’Hare | You need an international or nonstop route MKE does not offer, or the fare is much lower for your group. |
| Midway | A Midway flight is the best fare or schedule for your trip and you prefer a smaller airport to O’Hare. |
Getting There Without Driving
| Route | Starting price | Drive time |
|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee to MKE | From $60 | 15 to 20 minutes |
| Milwaukee to O’Hare | From $199 | 75 to 90 minutes |
| Milwaukee to Midway | From $199 | 90 to 110 minutes |
| O’Hare to Milwaukee | From $199 | 75 to 90 minutes |
Every price is confirmed before you ride, with fuel and tolls included and no surge pricing. We track your flight, so a delay moves your pickup and not your price. See what a car service from Milwaukee to O’Hare costs for the full O’Hare breakdown.
