What drives the price

Why car lockout pricing costs what it does in Des Plaines

Northwestern's campus in Evanston turns over every September with students who have never parked here before, and airport and casino parking in Des Plaines and Schiller Park adds the traveller version of the same call. Both come down to opening a modern frameless window without damaging it.

Two tollways cross this city, O'Hare is immediately south, and Rivers Casino runs around the clock, so demand here does not stop at business hours. I-90 and I-294 supply the highway work; River Road, Mannheim and Touhy supply the surface work.

Local context

How we work Des Plaines

Des Plaines holds 60,675 residents and sits immediately north of O'Hare International Airport, which is what turned it from a river town into a suburb after the Second World War. Two interstates cross it, I-90, the Jane Addams and formerly the Northwest Tollway, and I-294, the Tri-State, and River Road, Mannheim Road, Touhy Avenue and Golf Road carry the surface traffic between them. Rivers Casino opened here in July 2011 after the city approved the zoning in 2010, and a 24-hour casino changes the shape of a night: the calls that come in at three in the morning are lockouts and dead batteries in a parking structure, not highway recovery. The city is also where American Airlines Flight 191 came down in 1979, just north of Touhy Avenue. Worth knowing for anyone reading weather here: the National Weather Service's official Chicago observations are taken at O'Hare next door, so the 38.4 inch annual snow normal and the 121 nights a year at or below freezing are literally this city's numbers. Operators cover both tollways, the O'Hare hotel and cargo belt, and the casino district.
