Written by the Pharaoh’s Transportation dispatch team, 5151 S Howell Ave, Milwaukee. Rated 4.9 from 302 Google reviews; every chauffeur is background-checked, licensed and insured.
Quick answer: For a Brewers postseason game at American Family Field, book a round trip as soon as the game is confirmed: a premium SUV for up to 6 or a Sprinter for 13 to 15. Pickup is about 1.5 hours before first pitch from the Milwaukee suburbs (2.5 hours if you tailgate), the chauffeur stages near the ballpark, and you walk out to a meeting point instead of waiting in a lot that can take an hour to clear. Pharaoh’s books from Milwaukee, Madison, Kenosha and Chicago; call (414) 322-3751 any hour.

Why October games are different
Regular-season habits do not work in the playoffs.
Dates arrive late
A postseason schedule depends on how the previous round ends, and some games are listed as if necessary. Start times are set for television and can be announced only a day or two out. Groups that wait for certainty find the SUVs and Sprinters already booked.
Every seat is sold
A sold-out ballpark means full lots, slow entry and a long exit. The traffic onto the freeways after the last out is the part most fans remember. A chauffeur who drops you near the gates and stages for the return removes both.
Late finishes on work nights
Weeknight games can run past 11 PM. Nobody in your group has to drive after a long, loud night, and nobody has to make the call on who stays sober.
Pickup times for postseason games
Times assume dry roads; dispatch confirms yours the day before.
By where you start
| Pickup from | Drive to the ballpark | Pickup before first pitch | With tailgating |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown Milwaukee or the Third Ward | About 10 to 15 minutes | About 1 hour | About 2 hours |
| Brookfield, Wauwatosa, West Allis | About 15 to 20 minutes | About 1.25 hours | About 2.25 hours |
| Mequon, Whitefish Bay, the North Shore | About 25 minutes | About 1.5 hours | About 2.5 hours |
| Waukesha, Oak Creek, Franklin | About 25 minutes | About 1.5 hours | About 2.5 hours |
| Kenosha and Racine | About 45 minutes | About 2 hours | About 3 hours |
| Madison | About 1.25 hours | About 2.5 to 3 hours | About 3.5 hours |
| Chicago and the North Shore suburbs | About 1.5 to 2 hours | About 3 to 3.5 hours | About 4 hours |
Tailgating in October
Lots usually open well before first pitch; for the playoffs, plan for a cold evening. Coolers, chairs and a portable grill ride in the back of a Sprinter; in an SUV, tell dispatch what you are bringing so it fits.
Picking the vehicle
Match the vehicle to the group.
Premium SUV, up to 6
Couples, families and small groups. Leather seats, quiet ride, room for jackets and a small cooler. See SUV service.
Executive Sprinter for 13 or Mercedes Sprinter for 15
Office outings, friends who bought a block of seats, and clients you are hosting. Everyone arrives together and leaves together. See the Mercedes Sprinter and the Executive Sprinter.
Bigger groups
For 16 and up we send two or more vehicles on one booking, timed to arrive together. See group transportation.
Game just announced?
Postseason dates land on short notice. Call dispatch the moment yours is set.
After the last out
How the return works.
The meeting point
Before you go in, you and the chauffeur agree on a meeting point away from the main exits. You get a text when the vehicle is in place [CONFIRM text practice].
Extra innings and rain
The roof keeps the weather out, but extra innings happen. On a round trip the vehicle waits; dispatch explains how extra waiting time is billed when you book [CONFIRM].
Out-of-town fans
Flying in for the series? We pick up at MKE or O’Hare, take you to the hotel and the game, and back to the airport. See Milwaukee airport car service.
Book with Pharaoh’s or one of our divisions
All three booking sites put you in the same dispatch queue for October games.
