Your airport journey
London, Ontario to DTW,
door to door.
London, Ontario-to-DTW car service is a private home, hotel or campus pickup for a flight departing Detroit Metro Airport. It suits parties who need their own address and planned stops on one reservation. The departure plan includes the Ontario drive and U.S. land entry before DTW check-in; London International Airport is a different journey.

Check the reference road journey: London City Hall → DTW McNamara (opens in a new tab) ↗
This opens a sample road route, not a confirmed itinerary or a live estimate on this page. Replace London City Hall with your address and McNamara with Evans if your flight uses that terminal. Allow separately for airport procedures, border inspection, planned stops and conditions; a map time is not a promised arrival.
The details that shape your ride
Home, hotel or campus. Your London pickup.
A downtown hotel, a Western University residence and a home on another side of London do not share the same pickup point. Enter the complete address and add the building entrance. For an early departure, check that everyone in the party can reach that meeting point with their luggage at the confirmed time.

Use your actual street address and identify each additional pickup before choosing a departure time.
Flight & road coordination
Set up the London departure before travel day.
Dispatch reviews the route from London, the border crossing and the final approach to DTW against your airline’s deadline. Allow for both highway conditions and inspection. A navigation estimate describes a drive; it does not include every airport or border step your party may need to complete.
Start at your door, not an assumed shuttle stop.
A private London request can start at the confirmed home, hotel or campus entrance. Do not enter a shared-shuttle office as the pickup unless that is where you intend to meet. For several travellers, compare meeting at one address with a quoted second pickup; collecting the whole party changes the departure schedule as well as the vehicle requirements.
Name the Western residence or campus building.
Western's published directions use different approaches through University Drive and Western Road. The useful pickup detail is your actual residence or building entrance, not a general campus pin. For end-of-term travel, list large cases, boxes and equipment before confirming the ride; a seat count alone does not describe a student move-out.
Compare the DTW flight saving with the full journey.
Before choosing a flight, compare its fare together with the cross-border ground transfer and, if needed, an overnight stay. A lower airfare is not automatically a lower total trip cost. If DTW is already booked, send the confirmed flight and baggage deadline so the departure can be reviewed without relying on a shortest-time map result.
Confirm your airline's terminal.
Use the operating airline to confirm McNamara or Evans Terminal and its check-in and baggage deadlines. A delayed departure does not automatically move the agreed vehicle pickup.

Applicable cross-border fees, taxes, fuel surcharges and airport fees are included. Exact addresses, date, vehicle, stops and availability determine your trip-specific estimate. Confirm gratuity, child-seat charges and any changes outside the agreed itinerary with dispatch.
The request is free. Final fare confirmation usually takes 1–2 hours and can take up to 24 hours. An online estimate is not a confirmed reservation. For near-term travel, call to check availability; otherwise we recommend requesting at least 24 hours ahead.

Include the stops and the return.
Add extra pickup or destination addresses using Add a stop. Tell dispatch how long each stop may take. Use the return-trip prompt later in the booking flow for the second leg; each date, address and pickup plan needs confirmation.
A return transfer and a vehicle staying with you are different arrangements. For several appointments, ask whether separate transfers or Hourly / As Directed better fits the itinerary. See how estimates and confirmation work →
Included pickup waiting time.
- Scheduled address pickup
- 15 minutes free from the scheduled pickup time.
- Domestic airport arrival
- 30 minutes free from the flight's landing time.
- International airport arrival

We track arriving flights. Keep dispatch informed about delayed baggage or arrival formalities and confirm additional waiting charges beyond these allowances.
Changes, cancellations & flight disruption.
Cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure for free cancellation and a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours and no-shows are non-refundable.
If your flight is cancelled, we offer free rescheduling. Contact dispatch with the replacement flight details to arrange your new pickup; a changed flight should not be left as an unreported no-show.
Normal crossing included. Traveller holds are different.
The normal border crossing is included. If a traveller-related issue causes a border hold, waiting is charged at USD $2.00 per minute until the traveller is released. This is different from the normal border queue or the airport pickup allowance.
Prepare the correct documents for each passenger and clarify any travel-status questions with the relevant authorities before departure. A transport reservation cannot guarantee entry or release time.

Private pickup, shared departure or your own car?
Choose the arrangement that works for your party, luggage and actual endpoint. Other providers' routes, schedules and terms should be checked directly.
A scheduled London airport shuttle
A shared service may fit when its departure time, London stop and baggage allowance suit your party. Review the current DTW schedule and the cost of reaching its pickup point. Compare the price for everyone travelling with a private-vehicle estimate—not a single shuttle seat with the whole car. Check current London–DTW schedules (opens in a new tab) →
Driving to DTW and leaving a car
Add parking for the full trip, the terminal transfer from the lot and your return journey after flying. A prearranged private ride is an alternative when you do not want to drive home after arrival. Both plans still need border documents and contingency time.
U.S.-bound travel
Prepare for
the land crossing.
London departures can be reviewed against the Windsor–Detroit or Sarnia–Port Huron corridors. Dispatch considers the complete journey to DTW, not only whichever crossing currently displays the shortest queue.
Documents belong in your travel plan.
Each passenger’s requirements depend on citizenship, immigration status and age. Check the official guidance before travel, including requirements for children and any onward flight. Border authorities decide admission and inspection time.

Check conditions close to departure.
Published border waits are one planning input. Road traffic, approach queues and individual inspections can add time. Dispatch reviews the crossing with the itinerary; a displayed wait does not guarantee arrival.

Before you travel
London, Ontario to DTW: your questions.
Practical answers for this direction of travel. Contact dispatch to review details specific to your party.
Ask dispatch a questionCan you pick up from a Western University residence?
Yes, include the specific residence, street address and accessible meeting entrance in your request. Tell dispatch about large luggage or a second student pickup. Campus locations and loading access vary, so a general university pin is less useful than the actual departure point.
Should I book my London pickup using the flight departure time?
No. The form’s pickup time is when your party should be collected in London. Add the flight number and departure time separately so dispatch can review the gap for highway travel, the U.S. border and airport procedures. Check the confirmed calendar date for an overnight journey.
Is Sarnia always the best crossing for this journey?
There is no single best crossing for every London-to-DTW trip. The pickup address, highway conditions, inspection queues and the airport approach all matter. Dispatch reviews the full route; a shorter posted border wait does not necessarily produce an earlier airport arrival.
Can I reserve the ride home from DTW at the same time?
Yes. Use the return-trip prompt within the booking form or give dispatch the return flight details. The airport-to-London leg needs its own arrival flight, pickup coordination and luggage information. Review both legs in the confirmation instead of treating the return as an automatic copy of the outbound schedule.
