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 Bulls or Blackhawks game at the United Center, Pharaoh’s runs round trips from Milwaukee, Kenosha, Racine and Lake Geneva: about 1.5 to 2 hours down I-94 from Milwaukee, so pickup is about 3 hours before the game, and you are home the same night. The chauffeur drops you near the arena on Chicago’s West Side, stages during the game and meets you after. A premium SUV seats 6; a Sprinter seats 13 to 15. Call (414) 322-3751.

Why Wisconsin fans hire a ride to Chicago
The game is easy; the drive is not.
Rush-hour I-94
Most games start at 7 PM on weeknights, which puts the drive into Chicago at the worst time of day. A chauffeur handles the traffic while you work, eat or rest.
Parking and the exit
Arena lots are expensive, and the exit after a sold-out game is slow. A drop-off and a staged pickup skip both.
The drive home
After a late game you still face 90 minutes on the interstate. On a round trip, nobody in your group has to do it.
Pickup times
For a 7:00 PM start; dispatch confirms the day before.
From Wisconsin
| Pickup from | Drive to the United Center | Pickup time (7 PM start) | Home by about |
|---|---|---|---|
| Milwaukee and suburbs | About 1.5 to 2 hours | About 4:00 PM | Midnight |
| Racine | About 1.25 hours | About 4:30 PM | 11:30 PM |
| Kenosha | About 1 to 1.25 hours | About 4:45 PM | 11:15 PM |
| Lake Geneva | About 1.5 to 2 hours | About 4:00 PM | Midnight |
| Waukesha | About 2 hours | About 3:45 PM | 12:15 AM |
Weekend and holiday games
Afternoon games on weekends and holidays have lighter traffic. Pickup moves to about 2.5 hours before the start.
Weeknight game after work?
We pick up at the office and you are home before midnight.
