Vehicle SKU + Per-Hour Pricing Floor
Hourly floor is the minimum bill for that vehicle on a 4-hour booking. Per-passenger math assumes a full bus on a 4-hour minimum. Multi-day, one-way, and corporate-account pricing varies. Call for the fixed quote.
| Vehicle SKU | Passengers | Hourly floor | Per passenger | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes Sprinter Shuttle | 12–14 | $149/hr | ~$45 (4-hr min, full bus) | Airport, wedding party, exec group |
| Mini Coach | 22–24 | $195/hr | ~$35 (4-hr min, full bus) | Mid-size wedding, corporate offsite |
| Mid-Size Coach | 32–36 | $235/hr | ~$30 (4-hr min, full bus) | Conference hotel loop, school group |
| Motor Coach | 50–56 | $275/hr | ~$21 (5-hr min, full bus) | Large wedding, convention, sports team |
Posted rates are starting points. Final quote depends on route, time-of-day, multi-day, stand-by hours, and load zones. Wedding, convention, and corporate-account quotes are usually below list.
Five Use Cases We Run Every Week
Monarch Fleet's shuttle book is split roughly evenly across these five categories. Each has a dedicated deep-dive page if you want details on operations, timing, or pricing for that vertical.
Airport runs (ORD + MDW)
Flight-tracked pickup at O'Hare and Midway. Meet-and-greet inside baggage claim for groups over 10. Single drop-off or hotel-loop drops. Most common SKU: Sprinter Shuttle (14-pax) or Mini Coach (22-pax) for incoming wedding parties and corporate offsites.
Airport shuttle details →Hotel-to-conference
McCormick Place, Donald E. Stephens, Navy Pier, Schaumburg Convention Center. Multi-hotel pickup loops on a published timetable. We coordinate with the conference planner and the host hotel to lock load zones before the first wave. Common SKU: Mid-Size Coach (32-pax) running 90-minute loops.
Convention shuttle details →Wedding-guest shuttles
Venue-to-hotel and hotel-to-venue loops. For weddings under 100 guests, one Motor Coach or two Sprinters cover the night. For 100 to 250 guests, two to four buses run a timed loop. Each driver carries the master schedule on a printed run sheet plus the planner's cell.
Wedding shuttle details →Casino runs
Rivers Des Plaines, Hammond Horseshoe, Hard Rock Gary. Round-trip with a defined return window, the bus waits curbside or stages at a nearby lot. Most common: Mini Coach (22-pax) for company outings, Motor Coach (56-pax) for charter groups.

At booking, we lock the vehicle and the named driver. You receive the driver's photo, cell number, and license plate by SMS 24 hours before pickup.
3
Multi-vehicle sync for big groups
Groups over 40 pax run on multiple buses. One master dispatcher coordinates arrivals, buses queue, not stack, at the venue load zone. Planner gets a live ETA grid for every vehicle.
Why Monarch Fleet vs the Aggregators
We own the buses
Monarch Fleet operates its own fleet. Most online shuttle aggregators sub-contract to third-party operators they cannot guarantee. When you book a Monarch Fleet shuttle, one company owns the vehicle, employs the driver, and is accountable for the ride.
Per-person pricing, published
Every competitor hides the pricing behind a quote form. We publish hourly floors and per-passenger math on this page. You can compare before you call.
Multi-vehicle dispatch
Conference and large-wedding shuttles need 3 to 5 buses running synchronized. We dispatch from one operations center, the planner talks to one dispatcher, not five drivers.
$1.5M commercial auto liability + IL CDL Class B/C drivers
Every shuttle driver holds an Illinois CDL with passenger endorsement, is DOT-medical-certified, and is background-checked annually. Certificates of insurance are issued within 24 hours.
