Campus life runs on a calendar of high-stress, high-luggage travel days — and every one of them is a moment when reliable transportation matters most. Dropping a first-year at their dorm from O’Hare with three suitcases, getting the whole family from a downtown hotel to graduation, or moving a student home at semester’s end are exactly the trips where a surging, cancelling rideshare fails. Level Up Limo handles all of it: flat-rate, professional, luggage-ready, and timed to flights and campus schedules across Chicagoland’s universities.

Universities we serve

We also serve suburban campuses — North Central College (Naperville), Wheaton College, Benedictine (Lisle), Elmhurst, and Concordia — and run long-distance game-day and visit trips to Notre Dame, the University of Illinois (Champaign-Urbana), and Wisconsin (Madison).

Airport transfers to & from campus

The single most-booked university ride is the airport run — students flying in and out for the semester, breaks, and holidays, and visiting families arriving at O’Hare or Midway. Every transfer is flat-rate and flight-tracked, with Meet & Greet so a first-year traveling alone or an international student is met inside baggage claim with a name sign and luggage help, then driven straight to the dorm. See our airport limo service, and for the North Shore campuses, our Evanston airport guide.

Move-in & move-out

Move-in day is luggage day. A single student can arrive with suitcases, bins, a mini-fridge, and bedding — more than a sedan or a rideshare can handle. Level Up’s luxury SUVs and Sprinter vans have the room, and a professional chauffeur means the family isn’t circling for parking or making two trips. The same applies at semester’s end, when everything has to come home on schedule.

Parents’ weekend, graduation & campus visits

Family weekends and graduation bring parents and relatives into town, often staying downtown and needing reliable transport to and from campus around packed event schedules. For these, an hourly chauffeur keeps one vehicle with the family all day — hotel to ceremony to dinner — while a Sprinter handles a larger group in one trip. For admitted-student days and campus tours, a chauffeured visit lets families focus on the school, not the parking and the navigation.

Game days & campus events

College sports and events are their own travel surge. Level Up runs group transportation to Northwestern’s Ryan Field and campus venues, and long-distance game-day trips to Notre Dame, the University of Illinois, and Wisconsin — round-trip, with a chauffeur on standby so nobody has to drive or park. See our sporting event limo service.

Which Chicago universities do you serve?

Northwestern (Evanston), University of Chicago (Hyde Park), Loyola (Rogers Park), DePaul (Lincoln Park/Loop), UIC, IIT, and Lake Forest College, plus suburban campuses and long-distance trips to Notre Dame, Illinois, and Wisconsin.

Is it safe for a student to travel alone with you?

Yes. All chauffeurs are licensed, insured, and background-checked, and Meet & Greet means a student is met inside the terminal and driven directly to campus — ideal for first-years and international students.

It’s a flat, all-inclusive rate with no surge or hidden fees, based on the campus, vehicle, and trip. It’s best to call for a quote or book online for a firm number.

Can families set up a recurring account?

Yes — families and departments can set up an account so every airport run and campus trip across a student’s years is one trusted call with consistent billing.

How far ahead should I book move-in or graduation?

As early as possible — move-in weekends and graduation are peak demand and vehicles sell out. Reserve as soon as your dates are set.

What vehicles do you use for campus trips?

Executive sedans for solo travelers, luxury SUVs (Escalade, Navigator) for families and luggage, and Sprinter vans for groups up to 14.
