Black car service in River Hills
River Hills has no shops, no restaurants and no commercial district of any kind. That one fact explains most of what is different about getting a car here: there is nowhere for a driver to be waiting nearby, the lanes are unlit and wooded, and a good number of the houses are not visible from the road at all.
Why people book here. A residential village of large wooded lots with no commercial zoning, the Milwaukee Country Club and University School of Milwaukee inside its boundaries, and the airport travel that comes with both.

Why an address here is worth booking in advance
Because there is no commercial district, there is no pool of drivers a few minutes away waiting for a request. A ride-share in River Hills is dispatched from Glendale or Brown Deer and has to find you afterwards, on roads that curve, have no street lights and carry house numbers set well back behind trees. At four in the morning in February that is a 10 minute problem rather than a two minute one.
A reservation removes all of it. We have the address before the day, the chauffeur has driven it before, and the vehicle is at the door at the time agreed rather than circling. Nothing about that is clever. It is just the difference between booking and hailing, and it happens to matter more here than it does a mile south in Shorewood.
The country club and the school are the two addresses that generate work beyond the households. Both produce evenings and events where a group would rather arrive together, and both sit on roads where parking is the other reason not to drive yourself.
Questions about River Hills
Will you find the house?
Yes, and it is a fair question here. Give us the address when you book and the chauffeur has it well before the day rather than at the moment of dispatch. If the house is set back or the drive is easy to pass, tell us and we will note it on the reservation so the next booking is easier still.
How long to Mitchell from River Hills?
About 35 minutes, and roughly 20 miles. Add the time the airport advises before departure and that is where your pick-up time comes from.
Do you pick up at Milwaukee Country Club and University School?
Yes. Both are regular pick-up and drop-off points, for evenings at the club and for events and airport runs from the school. A group arriving together in one vehicle is usually the point.
Is River Hills priced differently because it is further out?
No. It is the same flat, all-inclusive quote as anywhere else on the North Shore, agreed before you book. Point to point is priced on distance and time, so a longer drive costs more than a shorter one, but there is no surcharge for the village.
