Detroit Airport Transportation
Shuttling a group to or from Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) (9000 Middlebelt Rd, Romulus, MI 48174)?

Long-term employee shuttle services are available for UAW-represented plants and corporate campuses across Dearborn, Warren, and Macomb County, helping reduce tardiness caused by I-696 and M-10 morning gridlock.

Whether you're based in the GM Renaissance Center (400 Renaissance Ctr, Detroit, MI 48243) or have an auto industry manufacturing plant in Dearborn, we can help you secure a custom shuttle bus that runs on a schedule set by you instead of battling daily traffic on the Lodge Freeway or I-94. You can book anything from a minibus to a full-size charter bus, depending on your business's needs and budget.
Long-term employee shuttle bus rentals are great for construction crews, hospital staff, and even remote teams that only come into the office a few times a month. And if you need a temporary shuttle for a special event, like a corporate retreat at The Henry Ford (20900 Oakwood Blvd, Dearborn, MI 48124) or a holiday party downtown, we can easily set that up for you, too.

Wright Museum of African American History.

What types of events & destinations do you frequently serve in Detroit, Michigan?
+We provide groups with transportation for school field trips to the Detroit Institute of Arts (5200 Woodward Ave, Detroit, MI 48202), campus tours at Wayne State University and the University of Michigan, and faith-based events at the Huntington Place convention center (1 Washington Blvd, Detroit, MI 48226).

How far in advance should I book my Detroit, Michigan bus rental?
+As a general rule of thumb, it's always best to book your transportation at least 3 to 6 months in advance to ensure you get exactly what you need. This is especially important if your group trip takes place during peak season, like the spring (April-May) when the University of Michigan and Michigan State University commencement ceremonies are held, or the fall (September-November) when high school homecomings and collegiate football Saturdays keep every local charter bus company busy. Because these large-scale events bring thousands of people into Ann Arbor and East Lansing, every local charter bus company within 50 miles will have limited availability, and rates will be at their absolute highest. Planning your trip details and reserving your vehicle ahead of time ensures your group has a private bus rental in Detroit secured at a much more manageable price.
And if your plans change? No problem! Our flexible cancellation policy allows you to adjust your reservation without losing your entire deposit.
