Detroit → Ann Arbor: key facts

Ann Arbor from Detroit Airport (DTW) by private transfer: $190 per car (1–3 people) or $260 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 44 km via I 94, roughly 40 min when traffic is light and 40–50 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the baggage claim area of the terminal your flight arrives at, McNamara Terminal or Evans Terminal, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Ann Arbor, home of the University of Michigan, lies about 40 km west of the airport in Washtenaw County. The drive takes Interstate 94 westbound almost the whole way, passing Belleville and Ypsilanti, and leaves the freeway at one of the Ann Arbor exits such as State Street or Main Street before continuing north into the city. There are no tolls on the route. Traffic on I-94 builds up on weekday afternoons, and football Saturdays at Michigan Stadium bring heavy congestion around the south side of town.

Central Ann Arbor combines a compact downtown along Main Street with the university's Central Campus a few blocks east around State Street and the Diag. Kerrytown and the farmers market lie just north of downtown, while the Law Quadrangle and the Michigan Union border State Street. Michigan Stadium and the athletic campus are about two kilometres south. Many streets in the centre are one-way, and some blocks of Main Street are closed to cars during festivals and on summer evenings, so drop-offs then happen on the nearest open corner.

Public transport instead: Michigan Flyer (AirRide, with TheRide) bus AirRide from McNamara Terminal: Departures Level curbside near Door #1; Evans Terminal: Ground Transportation Center, Stall #1 to Downtown Ann Arbor, several daily trips.
