Book Your RideAbout Joliet — The City Whose Stone Outlasted the Great Chicago Fire
Settled in 1833 and originally platted as “Juliet,” this city on the Des Plaines River was renamed Joliet in 1845 to correctly honor French explorer Louis Jolliet, who paddled through the area with Father Jacques Marquette back in 1673. It officially incorporated as a city in 1852 and quickly became known for a different kind of landmark entirely: the distinctive yellow-toned limestone quarried from its riverbanks.
“Joliet limestone” became one of 19th-century Chicago’s favorite building materials — and it’s the same stone that built the Chicago Water Tower, famously one of the few structures left standing after the Great Chicago Fire of 1871. That same local limestone later went into the Old Joliet Prison, completed in 1858, whose castle-like facade became internationally recognizable decades later as the opening backdrop of 1980’s The Blues Brothers; it closed in 2002 and now operates as a public history tour site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it true the Chicago Water Tower is built from Joliet limestone?
Yes — the distinctive yellow stone quarried along the Des Plaines River in Joliet was one of 19th-century Chicago’s favorite building materials, and it’s the same stone used for the Chicago Water Tower, one of the few structures to survive the Great Chicago Fire of 1871.
Does the $96 rate change depending on which part of Joliet I’m in?
No — $96 is the flat sedan rate for any pickup within Joliet city limits, regardless of the exact address. It does change if you choose an SUV, minivan, or black car instead of a sedan.
How long does the drive from Joliet to O’Hare usually take?
Published estimates put it at roughly 49 miles and 60–75 minutes under typical conditions, longer during weekday rush hour or winter weather.
Can I book a car seat for a flight out of Joliet?
Yes, for $10 extra, though availability is limited — reserve it when you book rather than asking last minute.
