Elmhurst Car Service

The City Centre Suburb · 16 Miles From The Loop · 12 Miles From O'Hare

Elmhurst is the rare Chicago suburb whose downtown — Elmhurst City Centre — actually functions as a regional destination. The York Theatre marquee, the 108-year Memorial Day Parade tradition, the walkable streets between Wilder Park and the Metra station. Lincoln Limo Inc serves City Centre's restaurants, hotels, and residents — and the corporate parks along the I-290/I-294 corridor that operate at O'Hare's doorstep. The 2025 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum Sport Executive. By reservation. Flat rate, every time.

What Makes Elmhurst Different

A Downtown That Pulls People In

Most Chicago suburbs have a downtown that serves their own residents. Elmhurst City Centre serves residents from Park Ridge, Oak Park, River Forest, Lombard, and Villa Park too — they drive *into* Elmhurst for the York Theatre, dinner along York Street, the Wednesday Nights Live music series, and the Wilder Park art and history museums. That downtown anchor plus the 12-mile straight shot to O'Hare gives Elmhurst a transportation pattern most suburbs can't match.

Elmhurst City Centre

Express to Ogilvie

1924

York Theatre Built

108th

Annual Memorial Parade

The York Theatre — built 1924 with its current Art Moderne facade dating to 1938. Originally a 1,100-seat single-screen auditorium, now ten screens carved out of the original space without losing the historic interior. Still the visual anchor of the downtown.
The Memorial Day Parade has run continuously since 1918 — the 108th edition in 2026. Few Chicago suburbs can claim a community tradition of that depth.
Walking distance to: Elmhurst University (entire campus is an arboretum with 130 tree species), Elmhurst Art Museum (with the Mies van der Rohe-designed McCormick House), Elmhurst History Museum, and the award-winning Elmhurst Public Library. Plus Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art at Wilder Park.

The Elmhurst Business Parks are specifically marketed for O'Hare proximity — corporate offices and the Courtyard by Marriott on Butterfield Road serve a steady stream of business travelers flying through ORD.
The Western Access O'Hare project (the airport's western terminal access) directly improves Elmhurst's airport connectivity. This is structural infrastructure that benefits Elmhurst customers in ways no other suburb on this list can claim.

Why Elmhurst

From a Grove of Elm Trees to a Regional Downtown

Elmhurst was named for a grove of elm trees that lined the original township road through what was then farmland west of Chicago. The city was incorporated in 1882, but the real shift began with the railroad — Elmhurst sat on what became the Chicago and North Western (now Metra's Union Pacific/West Line), with daily express service to Chicago that turned a farm community into a commuter suburb by the 1890s.

The Memorial Day Parade has run continuously since 1918 — 108 editions and counting. The York Theatre opened in 1924 and survived the consolidation that closed most single-screen theaters in the 1980s by carving its 1,100-seat auditorium into ten smaller screens without sacrificing the historic Art Moderne interior. Elmhurst University's entire campus is officially designated as an arboretum, with 130 different tree species.

The downtown — formally branded as Elmhurst City Centre — runs along York Street between the Metra station and the fountain at Schiller Street. Chicagoland's third-largest St. Patrick's Day Parade runs along Spring Road every March. The Wednesday Nights Live summer concert series, Rock the Block Party, Boo-tiful Saturday, and the Umbrella Sky Elmhurst seasonal art installation all draw visitors from neighboring suburbs into Elmhurst's downtown — making it one of the few suburbs where the local restaurants serve a regional clientele rather than just the residents.

Lincoln Limo Inc serves Elmhurst because the city's transportation pattern is unusual: a 23-minute Metra ride to Ogilvie handles most weekday commuting, but City Centre dinners ending at 11 PM, 4 AM ORD departures, and standing reservations from the I-290/I-294 corporate parks all require black car service. The 2025 Escalade ESV Platinum Sport Executive turns the 25-minute O'Hare drive into the most relaxed part of the morning. By reservation. Surge pricing never used.

Where We Pick Up In Elmhurst

Six Districts From York to the Prairie Path

Elmhurst is 11 square miles split between DuPage and Cook counties — five distinct shopping/dining districts, multiple business parks, and a residential core organized around the Metra station and Wilder Park. Same flat-rate pricing applies across all of it.

🎭

Elmhurst City Centre / York Theatre

The downtown core at 147 N York Street, anchored by the York Theatre's marquee. The fountain area, the sidewalk cafés along York and Vallette, the boutiques and independent restaurants, and the Wednesday Nights Live summer concerts. Pickups here are usually pre-flight dinners, post-show returns home, or out-of-town visitors heading to ORD after a downtown weekend.

🏥

Edward-Elmhurst Health Campus

The Edward-Elmhurst Health (formerly Elmhurst Memorial) campus on Brush Hill Road and the surrounding medical office complex. Medical appointment transportation, family hospital visits, and patient discharge pickups when family can't drive. Local rate applies for in-city transfers.

🎓

Elmhurst University

The 38-acre campus that's officially designated as an arboretum (130 tree species). Pickups for prospective student campus tours, parent visits, college events, and graduation weekends — when the Escalade ESV is the right vehicle for that one important family day.

🛍️

Spring Road / York & Vallette

The "second downtown" along Spring Road on the southwest side of the city — family-owned restaurants, bakeries, the backdrop for Chicagoland's third-largest St. Patrick's Day Parade. Plus the York & Vallette intersection just south of the Prairie Path. Walkable, residential, mixed-use.

🛣️

I-290 / I-294 Corporate Parks

The Elmhurst Business Parks at the I-290/I-294 junction — corporate offices, the Courtyard by Marriott on Butterfield Road, and the cluster of professional services that operate at O'Hare's doorstep. Standing reservations for ORD departures dominate this zone's bookings.

🌳

The Illinois Prairie Path

The 61-mile rail-trail network that runs through Elmhurst — the first rails-to-trails project in the United States, conceived in 1963 by naturalist May Theilgaard Watts. Cyclists, joggers, and weekend visitors using the Prairie Path often need pickup at the Elmhurst trailheads after long rides west.

Why Lincoln Limo

What Elmhurst Asks For

⏱

Twelve Miles to ORD, Flat Rate

$170 to O'Hare. $165 to Midway. $170 downtown. 25 minutes to ORD's terminals on I-290 → I-294 off-peak. The rate is published, the rate is firm. No surge, no peak-hour adjustment, no "demand pricing" on a Friday afternoon when the corporate parks all empty toward ORD at the same time.

🎭

The Vehicle for City Centre Nights

The York Theatre, the sidewalk cafés along York Street, the Wednesday Nights Live summer music series. The Escalade ESV Platinum Sport Executive turns the pre-show ride into part of the evening — and the post-show return doesn't depend on whoever's still sober enough to drive. Hourly charter is $150/hour, 3-hour minimum.
