What is the taxi fare from Midway Airport in Chicago to downtown Chicago?

Answer by  Biff (36)

It seems that the general consensus is that a taxicab ride from Midway to the Loop (what Chicagoans call their downtown) costs about $27 to $28. This is not including a tip. Native Chicagoans would rather take the CTA Orange Line for $2.25 from Midway Airport to downtown Chicago unless they had too much luggage.

Taxi fare from downtown Chicago to Midway will probably be $30, but can be more if your cab has to wait in traffic. Some hotels have free or inexpensive shuttles.

By baggage claim there is a shuttle that runs about $28 per person to any point in downtown. Taxi fare to the Loop runs a little more. If you're willing to take a train, you can jump on the Orange Line at Midway and ride to the Loop for $2.25. Either way, you're looking at 30 minutes during rush hour.
