As of 2026-11-09. RideShipper estimate, updated 2026-11-09, based on 3,588 prices that customers reported paying in MoveAdvisor reviews, adjusted for U.S. diesel at $6.13 a gallon for that week (U.S. Energy Information Administration). In testing, the typical difference between an estimate and a reported price was about 20% of the estimate. This is an estimate, not a quote: the carrier sets the price. No pickup date was supplied, so this estimate uses November 2026. Reported prices on seasonal routes to and from Florida and Arizona support different prices in each direction this month.

Checked facts

The campus address

College Navigator lists the University of Illinois Chicago at 601 S. Morgan Street, Chicago, with Fall 2024 enrollment of 33,906. That figure is not an out-of-state share. A campus handoff needs that address, not a generic downtown pin. Fall 2024 enrollment of 33,906 is the whole university, not a count of cars at the curb. See University of Illinois Chicago.

Long city pairs and the state inflows

The plan's city-route file includes Chicago to Los Angeles, Chicago to Phoenix, and Chicago to Miami, plus Houston to Chicago and Boston to Chicago. According to Census migration data, ACS 2024 estimates that 18,189 people now in Illinois had lived in Texas a year earlier (margin of error 3,474). California was 15,128 (margin of error 2,843) and Wisconsin 14,131 (margin of error 2,749). These are people, not booked trucks. Texas to Illinois is the largest inflow.

Pickup

The Chicago Department of Transportation page opened for this note did not publish a terminal that replaces a street pickup. No vehicle port is filed under the city in this plan. Agree on a curb the truck can reach. Agree on a meeting point the truck can reach. Registration is on registering an out-of-state car in Illinois.
