Lincolnshire Car Service
Home to a theatre-in-the-round that moves 400,000 people a year, and to a residential weight limit that quietly rules out a lot of vehicles.
Lincolnshire's residential streets carry a six-ton-per-axle weight limit, and Londonderry Lane is stricter still at four tons. Heavier vehicles need a permit through the village's online system. It is one of the few genuinely documented vehicle restrictions in this whole market, and it is the sort of thing that turns a large-group booking into a problem if nobody checked.
The Marriott Theatre, founded in December 1975 and attached to the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort at Ten Marriott Drive, is the village's real year-round transportation engine — roughly five musicals a year plus youth productions, a fixed curtain time, and a large audience leaving at once. Post-curtain pickups need a set point and a chauffeur already in position, not one setting off when the show ends.
The resort itself carries 64,000 square feet of meeting space, which makes Lincolnshire a genuine corporate destination as well as a residential one. Adlai E. Stevenson High School, one of only five schools nationally to win the federal Blue Ribbon award five times, sits at 1 Stevenson Drive.

Lincolnshire — Common Questions
Does the six-ton weight limit affect my booking?
It can, for larger vehicles. Lincolnshire's residential streets are limited to six tons per axle and Londonderry Lane to four, with permits required above that. We check the vehicle against the address before confirming rather than discovering it on the street.
How do you handle a Marriott Theatre pickup?
The chauffeur is in position before curtain falls, at a point agreed with you in advance. A theatre that size empties all at once — a driver who sets off when the show ends arrives into the worst of it.
Is Prairie View station in Lincolnshire?
No. It carries a Lincolnshire postcode but Metra lists it in unincorporated Vernon Township. It is on the North Central Service, which runs few trains and has no ticket vending machine — buy on board or through Ventra.
What is the flat rate from Lincolnshire to O'Hare?
Your fare is quoted the moment you enter your addresses, as a firm flat rate rather than an estimate. About 22 miles.
Do you handle corporate work at the Marriott Resort?
Yes — arrivals, departures and shuttle patterns around events in the 64,000 square feet of meeting space there. Standing corporate arrangements can be set up for recurring needs.
