The service at a glance

An airport arrival and a border crossing in one plan.

A DTW-to-Canada transfer connects your arriving flight with a specific Canadian address. It is useful when your party wants a private onward ride rather than arranging a second pickup after crossing. Choose the Windsor route for a local arrival or a dedicated Ontario city route for longer travel.

Your arrival

A meeting plan for your flight.

Your flight's arrival time and the time you are ready to leave the terminal are different. Baggage collection and arrival formalities need room in the plan.

Meet your chauffeur at baggage claim

Your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a sign displaying your name, or at another meeting point agreed in your trip communications. Send the arriving flight number so dispatch can confirm the terminal and meeting instructions. Follow the airport and vehicle pickup directions in your confirmation.

DTW prearranged pickup guidance

Keep dispatch informed

We track flights. Let dispatch know when you have your bags, if your flight is replaced, or if arrival formalities take longer than expected. A changed flight may also change the vehicle schedule.

Entering Canada

Prepare for the land crossing.

This airport transfer includes a separate international land crossing after you leave DTW. Airport arrival clearance does not replace Canadian entry requirements.

Check documents for every traveller

Check the requirements that apply to each person's citizenship and travel status before departure. Keep travel documents accessible rather than packed in luggage.

Read the border planning guide

Allow for variable border conditions

Dispatch reviews the crossing for the actual itinerary. Published waits, traffic and inspection can change; neither a particular crossing nor an arrival time can be guaranteed.

Beyond the airport

The destination is your address.

Windsor and a longer Ontario journey need different trip plans. Give the final address rather than selecting a city as an approximate endpoint.

Windsor and Essex County

Specify the hotel entrance, home address or venue meeting point, including any intermediate stop. For a Windsor arrival, use the dedicated airport route.

DTW to Windsor transfers

London, Hamilton and Toronto

Longer transfers require the complete destination, luggage details and any arrival deadline. Tell dispatch about planned stops before the vehicle and trip are confirmed.

DTW to Toronto transfers

For this kind of journey

Useful details after a long flight.

The pickup plan should still make sense after baggage collection—not only at touchdown.

Connect before leaving the terminal

Keep your confirmation and dispatch number available offline. If your phone will not work in the United States, agree on a contact method before flying; do not walk to an assumed curb and hope to find the vehicle.

Tell us about the next deadline

A hotel check-in, residence key collection or evening appointment may close before you arrive. Include that constraint and any need for a comfort stop on a longer Ontario transfer.

Example: DTW arrival to a London hotel

  • Provide the incoming flight, party count and complete London hotel address.
  • After baggage collection, use the confirmed terminal meeting instructions and contact dispatch about any delay.
  • Continue through Canadian entry to the hotel vehicle entrance; request any onward trip separately.

These are planning estimates, not guaranteed fares. Exact addresses, travel date, stops and availability can put your quote outside these ranges. Multiple SUV models are available; dispatch confirms the assigned vehicle. Each return leg and any different destination needs its own estimate.

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.

Free request · No payment required

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
60 minutes free from the flight's landing time.

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.

Before you book

A little planning. A clearer journey.

Practical answers for your trip. Dispatch can help with details specific to your schedule and party.

Ask dispatch a question
Can you pick up at either DTW terminal?

Provide the arriving airline and flight number so dispatch can confirm the meeting instructions for McNamara or Evans Terminal. Your chauffeur meets you at baggage claim with a sign displaying your name, or at another meeting point agreed in your trip communications. Follow the directions confirmed for your reservation.

What if my flight is delayed?

We track flights and coordinate with the arrival information available. Contact dispatch if your itinerary changes or you are delayed after landing. Updated pickup arrangements remain subject to the vehicle schedule.

Can I travel beyond Windsor?

Yes. Include the full Ontario destination and any stops in your request. London, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto have dedicated airport route information; dispatch confirms availability for the actual trip.

Does the online request confirm my airport pickup?

No. It starts the quote process. Dispatch reviews the flight, route, party and vehicle needs, then confirms availability and the final fare. Keep the pickup instructions supplied with your trip confirmation.
