Peoria, Illinois · Chauffeured transportation
Peoria Limo Service & Car Service
A car at your door in Peoria, and the driving handed to somebody in uniform.
Most Peoria bookings are an airport run: ten minutes out to PIA, about three hours up to Chicago O’Hare when the fare is better there, about two hours forty-five down to St. Louis Lambert. The rest is corporate work, campus and hospital visitors, and groups who would rather arrive together than in five cars.

Airports from Peoria
Which airport should you fly out of?
From Peoria the closest airline airport is General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International, about 10 minutes out. Bloomington’s Central Illinois Regional is about 55 minutes, St. Louis Lambert about 2 hours 45 minutes and Chicago O’Hare about 2 hours 50 minutes. Executive Transportation drives Peoria travelers to all of them.
Every figure below is measured from Peoria on clear roads, so treat it as a floor rather than a promise. Give a coordinator the flight and the pickup time is worked backward from the counter deadline.
Twenty-one airports sit inside about three and a quarter hours of Peoria, which is why the cheapest itinerary out of this city so often starts with a drive. Nothing above carries traffic in it.
Whichever field the fare sends you to, one quote covers the vehicle.
Where we pick up in Peoria
The addresses Peoria trips actually start at
Peoria travel arrives in three shapes: industry, medicine and campus, and the downtown convention calendar. The places below are why people fly into and out of this city, and a chauffeur collects at the door of any of them.
Industry and offices
Plants, offices and supplier visits
Caterpillar sites around the metroCaterpillar names Peoria, East Peoria and Washington among its key Illinois offices, and builds its large dozers at East Peoria. One visit often touches two.See the pageDowntown Peoria officesAdministration sits downtown, minutes from the river and the Civic Center blocks.

Private jets and charter
Private jet and charter flights near Peoria
A fair share of the business flying into Peoria never sees an airline counter. Corporate and charter aircraft clear the general aviation side of Peoria International, and we drive it on the same terms as the terminal.
- 01
Your car waits at the FBO lobby
Private and charter passengers walk out of the fixed base operator, a different building on a different road from the airline doors. The chauffeur is parked at that entrance.
- 02
Cases handled at the airplane, ramp permitting
Where the operator permits it, cases move straight between the hold and the trunk. Where it does not, the handoff is at the FBO door and nothing waits on a carousel.
- 03
The crew and the passengers on one reservation
The flight crew wants a Peoria hotel and the passengers want a plant tour. Both ride on one reservation, in one vehicle or two, and nobody waits for a car to come back around.
- 04
A Sprinter for the visiting delegation
A delegation of eight or ten rides one Sprinter, cases and stand-up aisle included. Larger parties take a coach, and the quote covers the vehicle rather than the seats in it.
The FBO your Peoria flight clears through
- Byerly Aviation6100 E.M. Dirksen Parkway, Peoria, Illinois 61607The fixed base operator Peoria names on its own general aviation page. Private, charter and corporate aircraft clear through the Byerly lobby rather than the airline concourse, and that lobby is where a chauffeur waits for a Peoria arrival that never touches the terminal.
Send the tail number, the operator and the scheduled slot when you book. Peoria also runs Mt. Hawley on the north side of the city, so say which field you are landing at. We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability.

Why be driven
Four reasons Peoria travelers stop driving themselves
Peoria sits where Interstate 74 crosses the Illinois River, which makes a long airport run out of this city a real drive. That is the part a chauffeur takes off you.
The bridge and the interstate are not yours to watch
Interstate 74 crosses the river on the Murray Baker Bridge, and it is the first thing to back up. Sitting in it matters less from the back seat.
A January departure is somebody else’s problem
Winter puts ice on the ramps before dawn, which is when the early bank leaves. A uniformed chauffeur is outside your door in it, on time, with the car already warm.
Three hours to O’Hare is a working morning
The O’Hare run out of Peoria is close to three hours each way. From the back seat that is a deck read, a call block or sleep. Behind the wheel it is none of them.
Six people, one number
Peoria trips are quoted by the hour for the whole vehicle, with the minimum stated up front. A team flying out together rides on one figure and nobody files six expense claims afterwards.
We prefer 72 hours’ notice, but call anytime. Short-notice trips depend on availability.
Popular runs from Peoria
The runs Peoria books most
When the nonstop is not out of PIA, the trip starts on the road. Executive Transportation drives Peoria to Chicago O’Hare, to St. Louis Lambert and to Midway on one booking, in one vehicle, with the luggage staying where you put it.
Both flight numbers and both scheduled times at booking, and a call if either one moves.
Clear-road figures again, and the Chicago approaches are the two that stretch. More reading on these runs: visiting Peoria on business, choosing between the regional airports, when to leave for O’Hare and the drive down to Lambert.
Fly out of one airport and home into another, still one booking.
The fleet
Fleet for Peoria runs
Peoria trips are quoted for the vehicle, so headcount and checked bags settle the choice. Tell a coordinator who is riding and what is going with them.
Executive Sedan
One or two riders on the ten minute hop out to PIA, or a single executive on the long run to Chicago.

Luxury SUV
A family leaving Peoria on a leisure route with real luggage, or four colleagues and their cases.

What riders say
Three riders, three different runs
Executive Transportation saved the day after another bus company fell through last minute.
The scheduling process was seamless, and the timely pickup from Bloomington airport made my journey stress-free.
Our group of 7 needed a ride from Chicago O’Hare to Springfield. The vehicle was clean and comfortable.
Component plants and machine lines keep visiting engineers and suppliers arriving in Peoria, and corporate airport transfers are booked one trip or one season at a time.
Conventions and arena dates fill the downtown blocks, and a party that arrives in waves is handled through event transportation.
Peoria questions
What Peoria riders ask before they book
The answers below use the calibrated drive times we build Peoria schedules from, and the airport’s own published pages at flypia.com.
How much notice do you need for a car in Peoria?
Executive Transportation prefers about 72 hours’ notice for a Peoria airport run and roughly a week for a group of fifteen or more. Dispatch answers at any hour, and short-notice trips come down to which vehicles are open. Booking early matters most around convention dates.
Call (217) 523-5466 or request a quote.
Do you pick up at my door in Peoria?
Yes. Executive Transportation collects at the address you give, anywhere in Peoria, whether that is a house on the bluff, a downtown office, a hospital entrance or a riverfront hotel. The chauffeur loads the luggage where you stand and unloads it at the terminal doors.
See how airport transportation works.
Which airport is closest to Peoria?
General Wayne A. Downing Peoria International, code PIA, is about 10 minutes and 7 miles from Peoria. It carries three airlines to 11 destinations and general parking is free. Executive Transportation still drives Peoria travelers to Chicago and St. Louis when the fare is better there.
See the Peoria PIA car service page.
How long does it take to get from Peoria to O’Hare, and to Lambert?
Executive Transportation schedules Peoria to Chicago O’Hare at about 172 miles and two hours fifty on clear roads, and Peoria to St. Louis Lambert at about 182 miles and two hours forty-five. Both are floors rather than promises, because the Chicago approach in particular stretches in a weekday peak.
See the Peoria to O’Hare route page.
Which towns around Peoria do you serve?
Executive Transportation picks up across the Peoria metro, including East Peoria, Pekin, Morton, Washington, Dunlap, Chillicothe, Bartonville and Peoria Heights, and from any address between them. The quote is built from the hours the run takes and the vehicle rather than a zone map, so ask for the one you actually need.
See every city we cover on the service area page.
Which vehicle should a group leaving Peoria book?
Executive Transportation quotes the vehicle, not the seat. Two or three riders take an executive sedan, five or six a luxury SUV, up to fourteen a Sprinter van, and fifteen to thirty-five a shuttle or limousine coach. A stretch limousine covers the gap in between.
Compare them on the fleet page.
Do you pick up private jet and charter passengers near Peoria?
Yes. Private, charter and corporate flights into Peoria clear through Byerly Aviation, the fixed base operator the airport names on its own general aviation page, at 6100 E.M. Dirksen Parkway. Your chauffeur waits at that lobby rather than the airline doors, and crew and passengers ride on one booking.
Tell us the tail number when you book the chauffeur.
Can you cover a Peoria convention or a campus weekend?
Yes. Convention parties at the Peoria Civic Center and university weekends arrive in waves rather than all at once, so the schedule matters more than the vehicle. Executive Transportation holds a coach against your arrival pattern and repeats it in reverse when the event breaks up.

Three things Peoria riders say made the difference.
One figure, and the vehicle is in it
Quoted by the hour with the minimum stated up front, so a slow crossing of the Murray Baker Bridge is planned into the hours. Six colleagues ride on one figure.
Built backward from the counter deadline
Peoria closes its airline ticket counters 45 minutes before takeoff. The pickup is built backward from that, then the drive, then a cushion.
Dispatch answers day and night
Early departures and late returns are most of this work, and somebody picks up the phone at either end of them.
