Elmwood Park Taxi To O’Hare Airport
Packed into just 1.91 square miles, Elmwood Park is one of the most densely built suburbs near Chicago — and, since 1996, a sister city to Frosinone, Italy. Wherever you’re leaving from in the village, the ride to O’Hare is short and priced the same every time.
Airport transportation for a small village with a big heart
Elmwood Park incorporated as a village in April 1914, largely to keep from being annexed into Chicago. The name comes from a historic grove of towering, roughly 180-year-old elm trees near 72nd Avenue and Irving Park Road, once a popular picnic spot reached by the old Milwaukee Road railway. You can confirm current village details through the Village of Elmwood Park’s official website.
At only 1.91 square miles, it’s one of the more densely populated suburbs in the Chicago area — 24,521 residents as of the 2020 Census, packed into a walkable grid served by its own Metra station on the Milwaukee District West Line. It’s also home to Russell’s Barbecue, generally recognized as the oldest continuously operating barbecue restaurant in the Chicago area.
Small footprint, one flat rate: whether your pickup is near the Metra station, Grand Avenue, or a side street off Harlem, the fare to O’Hare is $47, with a real person tracking your flight in case plans change.
Local History
Elmwood Park has long been a center of Chicago-area Italian-American life, and in 1996 the village formalized that connection by becoming a sister city to Frosinone, in Italy’s Lazio region.
The community has grown more diverse in the decades since — its Hispanic/Latino population rose from about 11% in 2000 to 35% by 2020 — but the sister-city bond with Frosinone remains part of how the village tells its own story.
