From the Driver's Seat
Chauffeur notes — Dmitri, 6 years with Royal Carriage
For Wrigleyville bar crawls I stage the party bus on Seminary between Addison and Waveland because Sheffield gets closed off on game days. I coordinate with the group leader by text so we're not blocking a bike lane with 28 people boarding.

Why Chicago Riders Choose Royal Carriage
We've been moving Chicagoans since 2009. Unlike rideshare, every Royal Carriage chauffeur is a W-2 employee, not a gig contractor — meaning consistent training, background-checked drivers, and accountability on every ride. Our dispatch runs 24/7 out of a staffed Chicago office (not an overseas call center), and the person who books your ride is the same person who'll answer if your flight gets rerouted to Milwaukee at 2 a.m.
We serve the entire Chicagoland area: downtown Loop, River North, West Loop, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and every North Shore and West Suburban community, plus O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW) with full flight tracking.
