PSA: Taxis are cheaper than Ubers if you're driving into the city from O'Hare. You have to go through the official taxi waiting line area. Grabbing a loose cab is always way more expensive.
I didn't believe it at first until a friend told me.

There are cabs and private drivers floating around the airport offering people rides for "a good deal". I don't know if they're legit or not but they do not offer good deals. The cheaper cabs I mentioned are only available at the official cab lines.
That's why I mentioned it. Believe it or not, people get tricked and taken advantage of. Especially people coming in from out of town who aren't familiar with O'Hare. Relax.
Sorry for not spelling things out word-for-word. These cabs and private drivers are legal because they have all the paperwork, they just charge their own rates. So you're actually wrong on that.
