What does One Spot charge compared with O'Hare's own lots?
| Option | Daily rate | 3 days | 7 days | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One Spot valet, uncovered | From $22.99 plus tax | By date | By date | Airport Parking Reservations |
| One Spot valet, indoor | From $26.99 plus tax | By date | By date | Airport Parking Reservations |
| One Spot valet, oversized vehicle | From $41.49 uncovered, $45.99 indoor | By date | By date | Airport Parking Reservations |
| O'Hare Economy Lots G and H | $16, taxes included | $48 | $112 | O'Hare |
| O'Hare Economy Lot F, covered | $30, taxes included | $90 | $210 | O'Hare |
| O'Hare Main Garage or Lots B and C | $43, taxes included | $129 | $301 | O'Hare |
| Routes Airport Parking (ORD), 1.8 miles away | $11.95 median, 18 quotes | By date | By date | ParkingAccess data |
| Pride Airport Parking (ORD), 1.8 miles away | $14.57 median, 39 quotes | By date | By date | ParkingAccess data |
| Super 8 Chicago O'Hare Airport (ORD), 4.4 miles away | $10.00 median, 11 quotes | By date | By date | ParkingAccess data |
Rates change by date. One Spot's figures are a reseller's starting prices seen September 16, 2026; O'Hare prints no effective date, its rates were checked September 15, 2026, and its multi-day figures assume the posted rate each day. ParkingAccess medians cover quotes from June 17 to September 15, 2026, before taxes and fees.
The comparison is closer than it looks. One Spot's uncovered valet starts $6.99 a day above O'Hare's Economy Lots G and H before its taxes, while its indoor valet starts $3.01 a day below O'Hare's covered Economy Lot F, which O'Hare showed as temporarily full on September 15, 2026. O'Hare itself does not recommend the $43 Main Garage for extended overnight stays.
Among lots ParkingAccess can book, Routes Airport Parking (ORD) quoted $11.04 a day below One Spot's uncovered starting rate. One Spot's home page also links to its booking form with promo code Save10 filled in, without saying what it saves. Every O'Hare option is compared in the O'Hare airport parking guide.
How does One Spot's shuttle reach O'Hare's terminals?
ParkingAccess measures the garage at 2.2 miles straight-line from the airport's map coordinates; the drive is longer. One Spot asks you to arrive at least 45 minutes before your airport check-in time. O'Hare's shuttle page confirms that off-airport parking shuttles now pick up at the Terminal 2 Arrivals curbside, with some still using Terminal 5. One Spot changed its own pickup points on February 1, 2024, so older directions are out of date.
Arriving at 9500 River St.
- Drive to 9500 River St., Schiller Park, IL 60176, open 24 hours a day. Google Maps lists the garage as One Spot Airport Valet.
- Hand the car to the valet team. One Spot runs full valet service with covered indoor and outdoor uncovered spaces.
- Board the free shuttle, which covers up to 4 riders on each booking.
- Ride about 6 minutes to O'Hare. One Spot does not publish where it drops you off.
Returning to One Spot from O'Hare
- Collect your bags and follow the blue signs to the Offsite Parking/Hotel Shuttle Station, which is not where you were dropped off.
- From Terminals 1, 2 or 3, go to Terminal 2's baggage claim level, exit Door 2E and walk toward the middle lane of traffic.
- From Terminal 5, stay on Terminal 5's baggage claim level and exit Door 5E.
- Wait on the sidewalk for the One Spot bus and board promptly, since buses wait only 5 minutes before moving on.
- Ride back to 9500 River St. to collect your car. For a receipt later, call the garage office at +1 (847) 805-8885 with your card's last 4 digits, the amount and the date.
