Bellwood Taxi to O’Hare
Bellwood sits close enough to O’Hare that the drive barely clears fifteen minutes — but we still lock in one flat rate before you leave, whether you’re near the Metra tracks, Mannheim Road, or a street named for the astronaut this village raised.
About Bellwood
Bellwood was incorporated on May 21, 1900, taking its name from an early subdivision called “Bellewood” — the final “e” was eventually dropped. It sits in Proviso Township, about 13 miles west of the Loop, and grew fastest between 1900 and 1930 on a wave of German and Russian immigration and expanding rail service. You can find current local information through the official Village of Bellwood site.
Bellwood’s best-known claim, though, belongs to the sky: astronaut Eugene Cernan was raised on Marshall Avenue here before commanding Apollo 17 in 1972 — the last crewed mission to the Moon, which makes Cernan, to this day, the last person to have walked on its surface. A Metra station still connects the village to downtown Chicago, and Mannheim Road runs straight north toward O’Hare.
Distance and drive time are approximate — actual travel can shift with traffic on Mannheim Road and I-290, especially during rush hour.

Close to O’Hare, Still Worth Booking Ahead
A Short Ride, Still One Flat Price
Being close to O’Hare doesn’t mean the price should be a guessing game — $47 is set before you leave, no matter how Mannheim Road is running that morning.
Car Seats, Booked Ahead
Add a car seat for $10 when you book — availability is limited, and it’s worth reviewing what Illinois’ Child Passenger Protection Act requires.
Terminal 5, Handled Directly
We’re authorized for direct Terminal 5 pickups — gates 5D or 5E, inner lane — with live flight tracking, something Uber and Lyft still can’t offer.
Real-Time Tracking, Every Ride
Texts at 24 hours out, 1 hour out, when your driver leaves, and when they arrive — each with a live map, even on a short hop like this one.
Choose Your Ride
The flat rate doesn’t change with how many people are in the car — only with which vehicle you pick.

Bellwood to O’Hare — Common Questions
Can you pick up near the Metra station or along Mannheim Road?
Yes — pickups near the Metra tracks or anywhere along the Mannheim corridor are routine. Just give us the closest cross street when you book.
Bellwood is so close to O’Hare — is it worth booking ahead instead of just grabbing a rideshare?
For a short hop, it’s mainly about certainty: a locked-in $47 rate, Terminal 5 access rideshares don’t have, and live tracking so you’re not guessing when your ride will show.
Does the $47 rate change based on exactly where in Bellwood I’m being picked up?
No — the flat rate covers any pickup within Bellwood village limits.
Can I book a car seat for a flight out of Bellwood?
Yes, for $10 extra, though availability is limited — reserve it when you book rather than asking last minute.
Do you also serve nearby Maywood, Melrose Park, or Broadview?
Yes — we run flat-rate service across Proviso Township, including Maywood, Melrose Park, Broadview, Berkeley, and Hillside, each priced separately.
Are you authorized to pick up directly at O’Hare’s Terminal 5?
Yes. O’Hare Airport Taxi LLC is authorized for direct Terminal 5 pickups, something Uber and Lyft cannot do. Our drivers wait at gates 5D or 5E, inner lane, and track your flight so they’re ready when you land.
