Black car service in Cedarburg and Grafton
Cedarburg and Grafton sit side by side, Cedar Creek running through one and the Milwaukee River through the other, two historic downtowns a few minutes apart at the northern end of the run up I-43. Far enough from Mitchell that an early flight means a genuinely early start, and close enough to downtown Milwaukee that an evening there is an easy yes when somebody else is driving.
Why people book here. Airport travel from households that fly often, festival weekends and weddings in the two historic downtowns, and evenings in Milwaukee from towns far enough out that the drive home is the part people most want to hand over.

One way, from Cedarburg, rounded up to allow for ordinary traffic. These are the figures we quote on. Traffic is the one thing no operator controls, and an honest number that runs a few minutes long is worth more to you than an optimistic one.

Two downtowns and one road south
Mitchell is about 40 minutes from Cedarburg and a few minutes more from Grafton, nearly all of it on I-43, and there is no quiet back way. That makes the timing simple and unforgiving: the pick-up is set from the drive plus the time the airport advises before departure, and the chauffeur has the address and the driveway the day before rather than at the moment of dispatch.
The festival weekends are the other thing worth planning around. Strawberry Festival in June and Wine and Harvest in September close Washington Avenue and fill every lot near it, so the booking that works is a drop-off at the edge of the festival and an agreed corner for the way out, not a vehicle trying to reach you in the middle of the crowd.
Grafton has its own center of gravity: downtown on Bridge Street, Paramount Plaza and the blues recording history it marks, and Lime Kiln Park on the river. It is the same service and the same quote as Cedarburg, a few minutes further up the road.
Questions about Cedarburg
How early should a Cedarburg or Grafton pick-up leave for a morning flight out of Mitchell?
Allow about 40 minutes of drive time from Cedarburg, a few more from Grafton, on top of the time the airport advises before departure. We work the pick-up back from both and give you the time.
Is Grafton priced differently from Cedarburg?
No. Grafton and Cedarburg are one service area and one quote, set before you book. The extra few minutes up I-43 are part of the fare, not a surcharge on top of it.
Can you work around Strawberry Festival or Wine and Harvest?
Yes, and it is worth planning. Streets close and parking disappears, so we agree a drop-off point at the edge of the festival and a pick-up corner for the way out, and the vehicle is there when you are ready to leave.
Do you drive weddings in Cedarburg and Grafton?
Yes. A wedding in either town is usually several journeys rather than one: the couple, the wedding party, and often a loop for guests between the ceremony and the reception. The wedding page covers how those days are planned.
