Detailed Review of the Detroit Airport Private Transfer Experience

First Impressions and Booking
Booking this transfer is straightforward, thanks to its mobile ticket system. You receive confirmation immediately, which is helpful for planning your arrival. The price of $105.34 per person is competitive for a private, door-to-door service in a business vehicle.
This service is ideal for those who don’t want to worry about navigating public transportation or waiting for crowded shuttles. Instead, you’ll have a professional driver waiting for you at the arrivals terminal — a true benefit if you’re arriving after a long flight or during odd hours, as the service operates 24/7.
What the Pickup Looks Like
One of the standout features is the meet & greet. Your driver, likely a well-trained professional, will greet you with a name sign, making it easy to spot them among the crowds. They assist with your luggage, opening and closing doors — a small touch that makes a difference when you’re tired or rushed.
The driver is also tasked with disinfecting the vehicle before you get in, which is especially reassuring these days. You’ll find hand sanitizer in the back seat, emphasizing the focus on cleanliness.
The Vehicle and Comfort
Traveling in a business car, you’ll appreciate the spaciousness and quiet environment. The private vehicle is capable of accommodating up to three passengers, making it perfect for families or small groups. The disinfection process and attention to hygiene during COVID-19 times are a major plus, giving you confidence that your health is prioritized.
