Taxi stands are located on the lower level curb front of each terminal, just outside of baggage claim. Taxis offer metered fares to downtown Chicago and surrounding suburbs. Shared ride services may also be available at designated areas.

All rental car companies are located in the Multi-Modal Facility (MMF). To access the MMF from the terminals, take the free, 24/7 Airport Transit System (ATS) train. Major rental agencies like Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and Budget operate from this facility.

The CTA 'L' train's Blue Line provides 24/7 service directly between O'Hare and downtown Chicago. The station is on the lower level of the main parking garage, accessible via pedestrian tunnels from Terminals 1, 2, and 3. Metra commuter rail and Pace suburban buses also connect to the airport at the Multi-Modal Facility.

Seating and charging outlets Posted by on July 26, 2016

Why isn't there more seating in C concourse? 2 hour layover, no available charging ports and very little seating. Kind of awful for one of the largest hub airports in North America.

re: Why Is It ORD Posted by on October 18, 2011

According to the wikipedia entry for O'Hare (which I can't link as an anonymous coward) the airport was originally Orchard Field Airport.

Reply to @XingR:

Actually the original name of the airport was Orchard Downs "ORD"

Why Is It ORD Posted by XingR on July 20, 2007

The name is O'Hare after a WWII aviator from Chicago. But the ORD designator come from the past. The present airport is built on the site of another, older airport that was known as Old Orchard Airport. You learn a lot when you've been stuck in terminals for hours and hours ... and when your itinerary includes KORD ... bank on it.
