Getting around by cab and VTC Chicago

It's easy to get a cab in Chicago: just wave your arm and there will be several stopping, especially in the downtown area. If you are in a restaurant or hotel, ask the staff to call you a cab, it is very common. There are different companies, but all are licensed and have a metal plate on the roof with their registration. A little tip: when you hail a cab, don't stand on the sidewalk, but on the sidewalk. Don't forget to leave a tip, about 15 to 20% of the amount.
