The service at a glance
London, Ontario to Detroit—planned as a longer road journey.
A private London-to-Detroit transfer connects a home, hotel, campus or appointment address with the destination you actually need in Michigan. It should be planned around the entire road journey, the border and local arrival access—not a generic city-to-city time copied from a map.

Around London
Give the entrance, not just the name.
Campus, hotel and appointment pickups work best with the exact place a vehicle can meet the party.
Campus and appointment departures
For a Western University residence or campus visit, identify the building and permitted meeting point. For a hospital pickup, confirm the appropriate entrance and tell dispatch about any travel assistance requirements.
The Detroit endpoint
City plans or an airport departure?
The address and purpose of the arrival affect the whole trip plan.
Detroit hotels, meetings and visits
Use the actual destination entrance and arrival deadline. For multiple appointments, list every stop and explain whether you need waiting time or separate transfers.
Departing from DTW
A flight requires terminal planning and the airline's check-in deadline after the land crossing. Use the dedicated airport route instead of a generic Detroit destination.
London, Ontario to DTWLonger-distance travel
Make time for the whole journey.
Road travel, the border and arrival formalities all belong in the itinerary.
Crossing preparation
Each traveller should check entry requirements and keep documents accessible. Dispatch reviews the route, but traffic, inspection and weather can change timing.
Border preparation guideStops and the journey home
Request comfort stops or additional addresses in advance. If the Detroit visit has an uncertain finish, discuss return availability and waiting terms before booking.
For this kind of journey
London pickup details that prevent a wrong turn.
Use the building or residence, not simply the organisation's name.
Western and surrounding campuses
Western's official map distinguishes academic buildings, residences, affiliates and hospital locations. Send the named building and permitted vehicle meeting point instead of using the general campus address.
Conditions along the road
Check Ontario 511 for road and visibility information before a winter journey. A clear road in London does not establish conditions across the full trip; tell dispatch about a firm Detroit arrival deadline early.
Example: a Western-area pickup for a Detroit hotel
- Name the London residence or hotel and give the luggage inventory for the whole party.
- Request any planned comfort stop and the actual Detroit hotel entrance.
- Book the return around the later Detroit departure, not an assumed reversal of the outbound time.

Compare the whole journey
Choose the connection you need.
A private city transfer and a scheduled airport connection should not be compared as identical services.
Private London–Detroit transfer
A specific Michigan street address, travelling party and agreed pickup.
List comfort stops and additional addresses before comparing the estimate.
Scheduled airport connection
A flight itinerary that matches an operator's current airport service.
Check its departure point and final stop; an airport stop does not complete a Detroit city visit.
Self-drive
A traveller who wants a car throughout the Michigan visit.
Account for parking, the return drive and any rental cross-border rules.

Estimates for named journeys.
One way, per vehicle—not per passenger. All amounts in USD.
These examples apply only to the journeys named below—not every trip covered by this service. Other origins, destinations, hourly work and ongoing contracts need a trip-specific estimate.

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.

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 questionIs this London, Ontario rather than London, England?
Yes. This page is for private road transportation from London, Ontario, Canada to Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Can I be picked up at a Western University residence?
Provide the residence name, full address and a vehicle-accessible meeting point. Include luggage and boxes so dispatch can confirm vehicle fit for the travelling party.
Can the destination be Detroit Metropolitan Airport?
Yes, but use the London-to-DTW airport route and provide the departing flight. Airport check-in timing differs from arrival at a downtown Detroit hotel or business.
Can I schedule a same-day return?
Request it through the return-trip prompt or dispatch with the Detroit pickup location and expected time. Availability and any waiting must be agreed; the outbound booking does not include an open-ended return.
