First Class Transfer

Luiz_O, Jan 2025
This was our first experience with this operator and we were very pleased with the service provided. The support was very efficient, always responded promptly, and communication was excellent. Our driver, Antwone, was a special case. An excellent professional, he assisted us upon arrival and also on the day of departure. Attentive, efficient in meeting our schedules and safe driving. A professional who truly deserves five stars in his rating.

Chicago Airport to Downtown Hotel Transfer

Kristine_C, Nov 2024
The Limo driver, Tharrin, was kind, courteous & friendly. He picked me up in a large SUV & the ride was very quiet and smooth. He was easy to talk to and gave me suggestions of places to visit during my stay. Very happy with the transportation service booked through Viator & provided by Carmel Limo in Chicago.

Not well organized

Dion_H, May 2024
I can’t rate the experience of the ride because we did not get one. We were supposed to be picked up at OHare but the communication to the driver by this company was that we would be at Midway. After a couple of calls with both this company and the car service confirming our location, it was still not corrected so we took a cab from the airport to our hotel.

Rebekah_R, Apr 2024
This was a painless experience. Communication was straight forward and easy. Our driver, Herze, was there within minutes of us stepping outside. The car was spacious and very comfortable. Herze was very personable and we had a great conversation. I would highly recommend this company.

Not reliable and unprofessional

Olga_J, Dec 2023
I reserved a pick up from hotel to airport in Chicago and driver never showed. I asked for a 4am pickup since my flight was at 6am, I was in the lobby at 345 and driver never showed. When I texted him he said he called at 326am and since I didn’t answer he moved on. The number that came up in my phone was from a female and the driver was male. Unreliable and unprofessional. Will never use again or recommend again. Now disputing the charge to get my money back.

Not worth the money!

Katja_T, Oct 2023
It is faster and cheaper to commute via uber, it would have saved me 50% of the price! We had to wait and I was on the phone for 20 minutes because the phone number I was instructed to text upon arrival did not respond! I was put on hold several times by dispatch! Lesson learned, next time I will just grab a ride share for $48 instead of paying over $90 and end up with a total distraced driver! Not to mention we found an Iphone in the car and our driver stated it is to much of a hassle trying to find the owner! It was not the vibe I wanted to start my chicago stay out with!

My shuttle never arrived

Florencia_M, Oct 2023
I reserved and prepaid for a shuttle service to pick me up from airport to my hotel. When I called the number to pick me up. I was told my reservation was called the day before by the booking agency and there is nothing they can do about it. I needed to call them. When I call Viator they said there was problem in verifing my destination address and they have try to contact me. I never got a message or phone call. They did no try to fix or send me another car and I needed to wait for an investigation to get my money back. I ended up taking a Taxi for a services that was already pay. I got an email today the day after the booking. I needed to add the Lady at Viator was very nice but could not fix my problem even though was not my error.

Airport pick up

Joyce_L, Sep 2023
There was a mix up on what terminal to pick us up from. I called our driver Reggie, he told us to stay put he would come to us! Professional and courteous he got us to our hotel safely. Nice conversation about must try foods in Chicago! So glad we booked this ride instead of trying to find a ride share option! Definitely recommend!

Great experience

Mark_S, Aug 2023
Smooth experience from booking on Viator to communication upon landing. Received multiple texts after switching off airplane mode from driver and company with instructions and timing of pickup. Driver was in holding lot and arrived within 15 min at door we were waiting at. Helped with our bags and got us to our downtown hotel earlier than the 1 hr Google map estimate. Five stars
