How pickup works after a game at Rate Field
Pickups after a White Sox game require coordination because 35th Street and the surrounding stadium lots experience high pedestrian traffic and police controls once the game ends. Here is how we ensure a fast exit:
Always book round trip
For any game-day pickup, we strongly recommend booking your return trip in advance. Whenever possible, the same driver who drops you off also picks you up, so you’re getting in a car with someone you’ve already met.
Live location at pickup time
When it’s time for your return ride, your driver shares their exact live location with you, so you can walk straight to the vehicle instead of searching a crowded street.
Smart Pickup Location
To avoid the heavy traffic jam on 35th Street, your driver will coordinate a quick pickup spot along Shields Ave or Wentworth Ave (just a 2-minute walk from the main gates), getting you onto the Dan Ryan Expressway immediately.
Prepayment required
All reservations with pickup at a game or event must be prepaid in advance. This guarantees your driver and your vehicle are held for you, even during the busiest hour after the final out.
Bringing the family to the game?
We provide car seats on request for White Sox games and every event at Rate Field. Unlike Uber or Lyft in Chicago, we guarantee a properly installed seat, so you’re covered under the Illinois Child Passenger Protection Act without scrambling to bring your own.

Rate Field transportation FAQ
Is Rate Field the same place as Guaranteed Rate Field?
Yes. The ballpark’s naming-rights sponsor shortened the name from Guaranteed Rate Field to Rate Field in 2024. It’s the same South Side stadium and the same home of the Chicago White Sox.
Where exactly does the driver drop me off at Rate Field?
Drop-off depends on your gate and the day’s traffic control, but our drivers are familiar with the 35th Street approach and will get you as close to your entrance as traffic officers allow on game day.
Do you wait during the game, or do I need to book a separate return ride?
For games and events, we strongly recommend booking a round trip in advance rather than arranging a return ride afterward. Whenever possible, the same driver who dropped you off will also pick you up, so you already know each other.
Will my pickup be at the same spot where I got dropped off?
Not always. Streets around Rate Field are frequently controlled after games, so your driver may have to wait at the nearest available legal spot rather than the main gate. At pickup time, your driver shares their live location with you so you can walk straight there.
Do I need to pay in advance for a game-day pickup?
Yes. Any reservation with pickup at a game or event must be prepaid at the time of booking. This guarantees your driver and vehicle are reserved for you during the busiest hour of the night.
How do I know I’m getting into the right vehicle after the game?
Always confirm your driver’s name and license plate before entering the vehicle, since you’ll receive both in your booking confirmation. Unlicensed drivers sometimes approach passengers outside the stadium, so never share your drop-off address or personal details with anyone who hasn’t already confirmed your booking information.
Can you pick up a group after a White Sox game?
Yes, we recommend booking an SUV or minivan in advance for groups, since demand right after any game is high and pre-booking guarantees your vehicle.
Is a car seat available for a family trip to Rate Field?
Yes, car seats are available on request at booking. Just let us know the child’s age when you reserve your ride.
How far in advance should I book for a White Sox game?
We recommend booking at least 24-48 hours ahead, since demand around Rate Field spikes sharply on game days, especially weekends and rivalry games.
