Gilberts has grown considerably from its roots as a small rural Kane County community, adding residential development in waves over recent decades. That growth means some addresses and neighborhoods are much newer than the village's older core — worth a little extra care when booking a pickup. See the current Gilberts to Midway fare →
A Village That's Grown Quickly
Gilberts remained a small, largely rural community for much of its history before experiencing significant residential growth. Newer subdivisions and development have expanded the village beyond its earlier footprint and changed the way residents move through the area.
What That Means for Your Pickup
- Newer subdivisions may occasionally need extra address detail.
- Have a nearby cross street or landmark ready if the neighborhood is recently built.
- Gilberts has a smaller commercial footprint than larger neighboring communities, so exact residential addresses matter more than broad landmark descriptions.
O'Hare: The More Direct Airport Route
For O'Hare, Gilberts-area rides typically head toward I-90. Rush hour can add time along this corridor and I-90 uses electronic tolling.
Midway as the Longer Alternative
A Midway trip from Gilberts is considerably longer because the village sits in the far northwest suburbs while Midway is on Chicago's southwest side. The route generally involves multiple major corridors, so allow more buffer than you would for O'Hare.
