Detroit → Dearborn: key facts

Getting from Detroit Airport (DTW) to Dearborn takes about 25 min by car on an empty road (25–35 min in heavy traffic) over 24 km via I 94. Our private transfer costs $170 for a car with 1–3 passengers or $240 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: 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. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Dearborn borders Detroit to the west and is the closest of the larger suburbs to the airport, roughly 20 km away. The drive follows Interstate 94 eastbound and then turns north on one of the main arterials, such as the Southfield Freeway (M-39) or Telegraph Road, to reach Michigan Avenue, the city's main commercial street. The route is free of tolls. Traffic is usually lighter than towards downtown Detroit, although the I-94 interchanges can be busy at weekday rush hours.

Dearborn has two separate centres along Michigan Avenue. West Downtown is close to Greenfield Village, the large open-air history museum with historic buildings moved from across the country, and to the Dearborn campus of the University of Michigan and the Fair Lane estate. East Downtown, several kilometres closer to Detroit, is known for its Middle Eastern shops and restaurants and the Arab American National Museum. Hotels are spread between the two centres and along the main roads, most with their own parking areas.

Public transport instead: SMART bus FAST Michigan (Route 261) from McNamara Terminal: north end of the Departures Level near Door #1; Evans Terminal: Ground Transportation Center to Michigan Avenue stops in Dearborn (route towards downtown Detroit).
