All Star Limo event and group transportation in Chicago, with a black SUV and Mercedes Sprinter van picking up business travelers at McCormick Place

Event and Group Transportation in Chicago: Sizing It, Timing It, Booking It

Quick answer: Group transportation comes down to two numbers: headcount and luggage — and luggage decides the vehicle more often than people expect. Our fleet covers 2 to 22 passengers in one vehicle, with multiple vehicles beyond that. Almost every event booking is hourly, because an event day is stops and waiting rather than trips. Weddings, proms and large events carry a 2 to 4 hour minimum, and peak dates sell out across every operator in the region — reserve 2 to 4 weeks ahead, and months ahead for a peak-season Saturday.

Moving a group? Send the headcount, the bag count and the timings — we’ll size the vehicles.

Vehicle Sizing — Read This Before You Quote

Group	Light luggage	Full luggage or equipment
1–3	Executive sedan	Sedan or SUV
4–6	SUV	SUV, or Sprinter if bags are large
7–10	Sprinter	Sprinter
11–14	Sprinter	Sprinter plus a sedan for overflow bags
15–22	Stretch, or two Sprinters	Two vehicles
23–40	Multiple vehicles	Quoted as a programme

A Sprinter seats 14. Whether it also carries 14 large cases depends on the configuration — trade-show materials, golf clubs, instruments and sports kit fill the space fast. Give dispatch both numbers and we size it properly, rather than discovering the problem at a kerb with a flight to catch.

What We Move

Occasion	Usual setup
Weddings	Sprinter for the party, shuttle loops for guests, a car for the couple
Proms and homecoming	Stretch or Sprinter, hourly, 2–4 hour minimum
Corporate offsites	Sprinter, hourly, often with a wait
Conference and trade-show groups	Hotel–venue loops across several days
Concerts and stadium nights	Hourly — the pickup is the part we plan
Bachelor and bachelorette parties	Sprinter party bus or stretch, hourly
Group airport arrivals	Flight-tracked, one vehicle, one pickup point
Graduations and family celebrations	SUV or Sprinter, hourly

Guest Shuttles: the Maths Planners Get Wrong

Guests needing transport	Setup
Up to 14	One Sprinter, one or two loops
15–40	One Sprinter running loops, or two vehicles
40–80	Multiple vehicles running together
80+	Coach plus support vehicles, quoted as a programme

A shuttle loop is roughly double the one-way drive plus loading time — so a 20-minute hop between hotel and venue is a 50-minute loop, not 40. Three loops moves about 40 guests comfortably. That single calculation is where most guest-shuttle plans go wrong.

Publish the shuttle times on the invitation or event page. Guests who know the last run leaves at 11:30 plan around it; guests who do not, ring the host at 11:25.

Wedding or conference shuttle? Send the headcount, the hotel and the venue — we’ll work out loops versus vehicles.

Why Event Bookings Are Hourly

The movement	Book
One trip, no waiting	Flat rate
Wedding party, whole day	Hourly — the vehicle stays with the party
Guest shuttle loops	Hourly — loops are inside the hours
Prom or homecoming	Hourly, 2–4 hour minimum
Dinner, concert or show	Hourly — you leave when it ends
Multi-day conference	Quoted as a programme, one invoice

An event day is waiting, not driving — which is exactly what hourly is for. Book one hour more than the timeline says. Events run long, and overtime costs more than the extra hour would have. See hourly limo rentals.

The Pickup Is the Part We Plan

Getting a group somewhere is easy. Leaving a venue when thousands of people leave at once is the part that needs planning.

The vehicle stages before the end, not after you call
We pick a meeting point away from the main exit — a corner, a side street, a nearby hotel entrance — and send it to you before you go in
Road closures around large venues are known in advance and planned around
You wait inside until we confirm the vehicle is at the door
Split groups are handled by naming one meeting point and holding for the last person
Venue access for large vehicles — not every garage or porte-cochère takes a Sprinter. Send the venue name and we confirm it

When to Book

Event	Book by
Weddings, peak season	Months ahead — May and June sell out first
Proms	March–May is peak — reserve early
Homecoming	September–November
Corporate offsites	2–4 weeks
Conference and convention weeks	As early as the dates are known
Concerts and event nights	2–4 weeks, sooner for large vehicles
New Year’s Eve	Months ahead

Large vehicles go first. If your date is fixed, book the transportation early and refine the timeline later — the vehicles are the constraint, not the details.

What We Need to Quote a Group

Headcount and bag count — both numbers, not just passengers
Every address — pickup, venue, hotel, final drop
First pickup and last drop, even approximate
Whether the vehicle waits between movements
Any equipment — booth materials, instruments, sports kit
Flight numbers for any airport movement
Billing — one payer, split, or a corporate account

A draft timeline is enough to quote from. We would rather see a rough one early than a perfect one the week of.

About the Dispatch Team

Written by the dispatch team at All Star Limo Service — the people who size these vehicles, ring venues about access and pick the corner a chauffeur waits on. We run late-model sedans, SUVs, Sprinters and stretch limousines seating 2 to 22 across Chicago and 100+ surrounding areas. We ask for the bag count because it is the number that actually decides the vehicle. 24/7 dispatch: (708) 998-6336.

Group and Event Transportation FAQs

How many passengers fit in one vehicle?
Up to 3 in a sedan, 6 in an SUV, 14 in a Sprinter and 22 in a stretch. Larger groups move in multiple vehicles.

How do I know what size vehicle I need?
Give dispatch the headcount and the bag count. Luggage decides the answer as often as passengers do.

Should a group booking be hourly or flat rate?
Flat for a single transfer with no waiting; hourly for events, shuttles and anything with stops.

Is there a minimum?
Weddings, proms and large events typically carry a 2–4 hour minimum.

How many hours should I book?
Count from the first pickup to the final drop, add drive time between stops, and book one hour more than the timeline says.

How long is a shuttle loop?
Roughly double the one-way drive plus loading — a 20-minute hop is about a 50-minute loop.

Can one vehicle shuttle all our guests?
Up to about 40 in three loops if the hotel and venue are close. More than that needs multiple vehicles.

Do you check venue access for large vehicles?
Yes. Send the venue name and we confirm loading zones and clearance before the day.

Can you provide a certificate of insurance?
Yes, on request, for your venue or planner.

How far ahead should we book?
2–4 weeks for most events, and months ahead for peak-season weddings, proms and New Year’s Eve.

Do prices rise on a peak Saturday or event night?
No. There is no surge for the date, the season or the day of the week.

Can you meet a group arriving on different flights?
Yes. Send every flight number and we either hold one vehicle or run separate transfers, whichever is cheaper.
