I would like the way, to get an uber from terminal 5 please.?
I read that I can take ATS to the Multi-Modal Facility (MMF) and then order from there. is that correct? any other ideas? Thanks.
Yes, you are correct! To get an Uber from Terminal 5 (the International Terminal) at O'Hare International Airport (ORD), you'll need to follow a few simple steps. Here’s the most common process:
1. Take the Airport Transit System (ATS) to the Multi-Modal Facility (MMF): After arriving at Terminal 5, you’ll need to head to the Airport Transit System (ATS) station, which is located on the lower level of Terminal 5. The ATS is a free train system that connects all terminals at O'Hare, including Terminal 5 with the Multi-Modal Facility (MMF), which is the designated pickup location for rideshare services like Uber. The train ride to the MMF takes just a few minutes.
2. Order Your Uber at the MMF: Once you arrive at the MMF, you’ll follow the signs to the rideshare pickup area. This is where you’ll be able to request your Uber or other rideshare services. The MMF is well-marked with designated areas for pickup, so it should be easy to spot. There are also kiosks and staff around to help guide you if needed.
3. Other Pickup Locations: If you'd prefer, you could also take a taxi directly from Terminal 5. However, Uber and Lyft are much more commonly used at O'Hare, and the MMF is specifically designed for this purpose. Some riders might also prefer to walk directly from Terminal 5 to the rideshare area, but this is not recommended as the walk can be long, and the ATS provides the easiest and quickest option.
4. Alternatively, You Could Use a Taxi or Shuttle: While Uber is popular, taxis and shuttle services also operate out of the MMF, so you have options if you prefer those. However, the Uber pickup from the MMF is typically faster and more convenient for many travelers.
Final Tip: When you’re ordering your Uber, make sure to enter the correct terminal (Terminal 5) and confirm the MMF location to ensure you're being picked up at the correct spot. It’s a smooth process, and you shouldn’t have any issues getting to the rideshare area from there!
Enjoy your trip, and safe travels!
