  • Flat rate locked at booking
  • No surge, ever
  • Taxi assigned in advance

How it works

Three steps, no phone call

  1. Choose your town and time

    You enter your suburb or O'Hare/Midway and your pickup time.

  2. See your flat rate

    You'll see your flat rate for the whole ride before you pay, and it's locked when you book.

  3. Book online, pay by card

    We assign a taxi before you go. You'll get a receipt by text, then day-of texts with your cab number.

Why pre-book with Ride X

Less to worry about on travel day.

  • Flat rate, locked at booking

    You see your price upfront, and it won't change with traffic or a meter.

  • No surge pricing. Ever.

    Whether it's a holiday weekend, a snowstorm, or a 5 AM flight, your rate stays the same with no surge or meter surprises.

  • Your taxi is assigned in advance

    When you pre-book, a taxi is committed to your pickup ahead of time instead of being found at the last second.

  • Text updates

    We text your receipt when you book, then your cab number and day-of updates so you always know what's happening.

  • Meet at the terminal door

    Pickup points at O'Hare and Midway are at the terminal door. You walk out of baggage claim to your taxi.

  • Local suburban taxis

    Independently owned and operated taxis dispatched by Ride X Taxi or a third-party dispatch service provider. Ride X Taxi, Inc. is locally owned and operated.

Never stranded

If no taxi is available for a ride pre-booked at least 24 hours ahead, Ride X will order a rideshare car for you at your same flat rate, so you get picked up on time and never pay surge.

Staying local.

Local daytime rides, booked the same way.

Head to a doctor's appointment, the grocery store, work, the Metra station, or a friend's place across town. Book a suburb-to-suburb ride online, see the price before you pay, and we'll text you when your taxi is on the way. Weekday mornings and early afternoons are the easiest times to book, since that's when the most cars are free.

Book a local ride

Local, not a national app

Local dispatch that knows the suburbs

Ride X Taxi, Inc. is locally owned and operated here in the Chicago suburbs. Your ride is with independently owned and operated taxis dispatched by Ride X Taxi or a third-party dispatch service provider, and those drivers know the Kennedy at 5 AM and the Stevenson at rush hour. When something changes the day of your ride, a dispatcher here in the suburbs handles it, not an algorithm in another time zone.

Good to know

Questions before you book

Do I need to call to book?

No. Booking online at ridextaxi.com/book or in the app takes about two minutes, and we confirm your flat rate and pickup time in writing. If you would rather talk to a person, call 708-725-1212 and an agent will book the ride for you at the same flat rate.

Is the price really fixed?

Yes. Your flat rate is locked when you book and won't change for traffic, weather, or demand. No surge pricing, and no meter on airport trips.

How do I pay?

Pay by card online when you book. We'll text your receipt, and there's nothing to pay in the taxi.

What happens after I book?

We assign a taxi to your ride before you travel. On the day, we'll text updates and your cab number so you know exactly who's picking you up.

What if no taxi is available when my pickup comes?

If no taxi is available for a ride pre-booked at least 24 hours ahead, Ride X will order a rideshare car for you at your same flat rate. You'll get picked up on time and never pay surge.
