History
Established in 2024.
Irish Rides officially launched in 2024, but my journey as a private driver began three years earlier. I started this business after noticing a growing need in my community—especially among local college students—for reliable, long-distance transportation to and from airports in Chicago and Indianapolis.
As a woman and a mother of seven, I understood the peace of mind that came with a safe, trustworthy ride—particularly for young women traveling alone. Many of my early riders expressed how much more comfortable they felt knowing their driver was a woman. That feedback inspired me to create Irish Rides: a personalized, safety-focused alternative to rideshare apps, especially for longer trips.
What started as a way to help has grown into a business I’m passionate about—one built on trust, care, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel secure when they travel.
Meet the Business Owner: Rachael M.
Hi, I’m the proud mom of six boys and one girl, and the heart behind Irish Rides. I started this business with a deep love for people, a passion for safe, dependable service, and the determination to build something meaningful for my family and my community.
As an entrepreneur, I bring a wide range of life experiences and people skills to the table. I’ve always been someone who can adapt to any social situation, and I genuinely enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life. Every ride is a chance to offer comfort, safety, and a personal touch—and that’s what I love most about what I do.
My goal isn’t to grow fast—I want Irish Rides to stay true to its roots: small, personal, and reliable. Success, to me, means building something sustainable and heartfelt, where every client feels like family.
