Coverage Map
<p>Gem Worldwide has provided Chicago airport transfers since 1976, dispatched 24/7 and flight-tracked on every reservation so a chauffeur is staged for the real landing time at O'Hare and Midway. Chicago traffic turns on the Kennedy and Stevenson — our dispatch routes around those bottlenecks rather than through them.</p><p>Greeter teams meet arrivals inside the terminal or, on private aviation, on the FBO ramp at Chicago Executive and Signature O'Hare. Concur, Sabre, Saturn, Groundspan and Neo1 bookings flow into dispatch, e-receipts post to expense, and chauffeurs are background-checked and Smith System-trained for Midwest winter driving.</p><p><strong>Related Gem services in Chicago:</strong> <a href="https://gemlimo.com/airport-transportation">airport transportation</a>, <a href="https://gemlimo.com/city-pages/chicago-corporate-transportation">Chicago corporate transportation</a>, and the full <a href="https://gemlimo.com/city-pages/chicago">Chicago chauffeur service</a> page.

Frequently Asked Questions
<h3>Does Gem cover both O'Hare and Midway?</h3><p>Yes. O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) are both dispatched from one desk, and we also serve Chicago Executive (PWK) for private aviation and Rockford (RFD) as overflow, with FBO ramp meet-and-greet.</p><h3>How does meet-and-greet and flight tracking work at O'Hare?</h3><p>Every reservation is monitored in real time. Greeter teams meet you at baggage claim in Terminals 1, 2 and 3, or at the Terminal 5 customs exit on international arrivals. Early or delayed flights re-stage the pickup automatically.</p><h3>How long is the drive from the airports to the Loop?</h3><p>O'Hare is typically 30 to 75 minutes via the Kennedy depending on the hour; Midway is usually 20 to 45 minutes via the Stevenson or Lake Shore Drive. Gem routes around the worst of both expressways rather than sitting in them.</p><h3>Can Gem bill Chicago airport transfers to our corporate program?</h3><p>Yes. Gem integrates with Concur, Sabre, Saturn, Groundspan and Neo1, and partners with Amex GBT, World Travel, Direct Travel, BCD and CWT. E-receipts post to expense automatically, with SLA reporting for enterprise programs.</p>
