In Chicago, the taxis are generally cheaper than Uber/Lyft from the airport. It is about $30 to the city with a Taxi. In the best conditions, i've seen Ubers for $38 to the same place, but it is generally in the $60-80 range.

It is so much more expensive that my company has stopped reimbursing ubers in most scenarios where taxis were otherwise available.

I've driven heavily in both and taxis are often nicer and safer than some of the craziness of UberX rides. If I take an uber I just pay the 10-15% premium for Comfort or Electric. I won't use UberX in the city anymore, it is so much worse than the taxis.

The real move is Uber to O'hare and taxi from O'hare.

It is like that in NYC too.

But the convenience depends on which terminal. I normally fly American--ez taxi from JFK.

Once I flew in on JetBlue. Nightmare taxi stand with a winding, immobile line. Had to call an Uber.
