Quick answer: Airport Meet & Greet means your chauffeur parks and waits for you inside the terminal at baggage claim with a name sign, helps with your luggage, and walks you to the car — instead of a curbside pickup where you find the vehicle outside. With Royal Limo Services, your flight is tracked in real time, so your chauffeur is there whether you land on time or late. Book Meet & Greet online or call (866) 811-0999.

If you’ve ever landed at a busy terminal and hunted a crowded curb for your ride, you already understand the appeal of Meet & Greet. It’s the difference between walking off the jet bridge into chaos and walking straight to a professional holding a sign with your name on it. Here’s exactly how it works at O’Hare and Midway, what it costs, and when it’s worth choosing over a curbside pickup.

How Meet & Greet works, step by step

1. You book it. Add Meet & Greet to your airport reservation with your flight number and terminal.
2. We track your flight. Dispatch monitors your arrival in real time and adjusts for delays automatically.
3. Your chauffeur parks and comes inside. They wait at baggage claim on the lower level with a name sign.
4. They help with your bags. Luggage handled, they walk you to the waiting vehicle.
5. You ride. Flat, all-inclusive rate — gratuity, taxes, and tolls included, no surge.

Meet & Greet vs. curbside pickup

Both are available on every booking; the right choice depends on the trip. Curbside is quick and efficient — your chauffeur is staged and pulls to the lower-level arrivals curb the moment you’re out. Meet & Greet is the premium option for when the arrival matters: international flights through O’Hare Terminal 5 (after customs), a client or executive you’re hosting, families with children and luggage, first-time visitors, or a late-night landing when you’d rather not navigate a strange airport.

Meet & Greet FAQ

What is airport Meet & Greet?

It’s a service where your chauffeur waits inside the terminal at baggage claim with a name sign, helps with your luggage, and walks you to the car — instead of a curbside pickup outside the terminal.

How is Meet & Greet different from curbside pickup?

With curbside, your chauffeur pulls to the arrivals curb when you’re out; with Meet & Greet, they come inside to baggage claim to meet and assist you. Both are flight-tracked.

Where does the chauffeur meet me at O’Hare or Midway?

At baggage claim on the lower level of your terminal, holding a name sign. For O’Hare international arrivals, that’s the Terminal 5 arrivals hall after customs.

Does Meet & Greet cost extra?

Any Meet & Greet fee is included in your flat, all-inclusive quote — request a quote to see your exact rate. There’s no surge, and reasonable wait time is included.

What if my flight is delayed?

Your chauffeur tracks the flight in real time and waits for the actual landing — no extra charge for reasonable delays, and no need to contact us.

Is Meet & Greet good for international arrivals?

Yes — it’s ideal after a long international flight and customs at O’Hare Terminal 5, when you’d rather walk straight to a waiting chauffeur than find a curb.

Can I use Meet & Greet for a client, VIP, or group?

Yes. It’s popular for hosting clients and executives and pairs with S-Class, Sprinter, and VIP vehicles; corporate accounts can set it as a default for arriving guests.

Which airports offer Meet & Greet?

O’Hare (all terminals), Midway, Chicago Executive (PWK), DuPage (DPA), and Gary (GYY).
