O'Hare Airport - Parking In The Limousine Staging Area


We have been receiving feedback from members that some chauffeurs are not following the proper procedures for parking in the staging area.


Please remind chauffeurs that:

  • Vehicles must be backed into one parking space only
  • Headlights must be turned off


As a reminder, parking in the CVHA (Taxi) lot is prohibited, and subject to tickets and fines.


Aviation will be conducting inspections to ensure that all vehicles are parking properly.
