Transportation

The College of Microscopy in Westmont, Illinois, is located about halfway between O’Hare International Airport (served by all major carriers) and Midway Airport served by Southwest Airlines, and others.

If you are not renting a vehicle, do not hail a taxi outside the airport. We suggest that once you've arrived at the airport, (either O'Hare or Midway), go to the lower level near baggage claim and locate the AMERICAN TAXI telephones on the wall. (A representative at any service counter can direct you). An operator will ask you for your destination, the number of passengers in your party, and other information. You will then be directed to wait in a designated area for an AMERICAN TAXI with a specific taxi number on it. The wait should be approximately 5-15 minutes. To make your trip to our facility or your hotel easier, you may want to print out a copy of the directions to below and/or the hotel information to properly instruct the taxi driver.

You can also pre-arrange your transportation for an equally reasonable fare by calling My Chauffeur Limousine at 630-920-8888. They will explain their specific process. Please note: If you share a ride it will be less expensive.
