Chicago Holiday Car Service
For Journeys that Matter
LUXY Ride connects visitors with a professional chauffeur through our partner network for Chicago's holiday season, from Christkindlmarket to the Magnificent Mile Lights Festival. The fare is set before the trip begins and includes gratuity and tolls, so the price at booking is the price charged.
December client dinners and downtown hotel stays follow the same booking flow as an evening at the market, with the same flat-rate confirmation either way.

Why Book LUXY Ride for Chicago's Holiday Season:
One Flat Rate for the Whole Evening
The fare shown at booking includes gratuity and tolls and covers the market, the Mile, and a dinner stop in between.
A Confirmed Chauffeur for Downtown's Busiest Nights
Your assigned chauffeur's name and vehicle details arrive ahead of pickup, even with Michigan Avenue at its holiday busiest.
Built for Client Dinners and Hotel Stays
The same booking flow supports a December client dinner or a downtown hotel pickup as easily as a holiday market outing.
Reserve Ahead for the Dates That Fill Up First
Pre-arranged booking lets you lock in a December Friday or Saturday well before the crowds arrive, with your pickup time and vehicle confirmed in advance.
A Concierge Account for Teams and Hosts
Passenger profiles, notification controls, and centralized billing keep every holiday ride for a group in one place, so the person organizing the evening is not collecting receipts afterward.
