Elk Grove Village Taxi To O’Hare Airport
Elk Grove Village borders O’Hare directly, home to one of the country’s largest consolidated business parks along the airport’s western edge. Whether you’re closing out a workday or catching an early flight, the ride to the terminal is short — and priced the same every time.
Airport transportation built for a working village
Elk Grove Village was incorporated on July 17, 1956, as a planned community across Cook and DuPage counties — most of its original homes built by the Centex Corporation. Long before that, German immigrant farmers worked this land, and many village streets still carry their family names. You can confirm current municipal details through the Village of Elk Grove Village’s official site.
Today the village is defined less by rooftops than by its business park — a roughly 5.9-square-mile complex along O’Hare’s western edge that’s home to nearly 3,600 businesses and around 100,000 jobs, among the largest consolidated industrial parks in North America. That density of workplaces, paired with being directly adjacent to the airport, means we get a lot of same-day, back-to-back bookings: dropped off for a 9am meeting, picked up again for a 6pm flight.
Residential or industrial park, warehouse district or subdivision near Busse Woods — the flat rate to O’Hare is $47 anywhere within village limits, with a real person tracking your flight so a delayed meeting or a late plane never turns into a missed pickup.
Local History
The village’s own history notes it was “named for the native elk that roamed the northern Illinois forests and grasslands” before settlers arrived in 1834 — elk that had disappeared from the area by the early 1800s.
The name almost became a memory only, until the 1920s, when local resident William Busse brought a small herd of elk east by train from Montana. That herd, now cared for by the Chicago Zoological Society at Busse Woods (Ned Brown Forest Preserve), means Elk Grove Village is once again home to the animal it was named for.
