<p>I'm wondering if taxis do service outside of Chicago and as far away as Evanston. Also, any idea roughly how much it'll cost? I hear NU is about an hours drive from Midway.</p>

<p>Any help will be appreciated!</p>

<p>Yes. They do but they are probably time and a half. Look up the taxis in Evanston, though, and find out if there are taxis which serve the town from Midway for a set fee.</p>

<p>Oh, and enjoy your time at Northwestern. I loved it there!</p>

<p>Ah thanks! Hopefully that won’t come out to too much, heh.</p>

<p>I haven’t actually followed that link so I can’t say whether it’s incredibly pertinent, but worth a try, no?</p>

<p>Ahh…I didn’t see your message before I flew out.</p>

<p>I paid 60 dollars for my cab, almost as expensive as my flight. :&lt;/p>

<p>I give my DD $60 for taxi from Midway if she arrives in evening—otherwise—$2.50 for the El/metro. If she flies into O’hare—taxi runs $35-the El/metro is $2.50 --there is a PACE bus that serves O’hare, it is $2.00 OW…to cut down on taxi fee—look for other students w/Northwestern shirts/sweatwhirts and share a taxi. Hope this helps your budgeting.APOL-a mom</p>
