Getting from Detroit city center to Detroit airport
The fastest options are taxi and ride-hailing, while budget travelers often choose the SMART bus.
Detroit is served by Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW), located approximately 27 km (17 miles) southwest of downtown Detroit. Whether you are planning airport transfers from the city center or simply looking for the most convenient route, options include taxi, ride-hailing, bus, private transfer, and rental car. There is no direct rail or metro link between downtown Detroit and DTW, so road-based transport is the primary choice. Journey times vary depending on traffic conditions and time of day.
