Use cases

Common student travel patterns

Student travel is seasonal and luggage-heavy. We optimize for capacity, predictability, and calm crossings.

Move-in / move-out

Semester start/end travel with extra luggage and multiple passengers.

DTW flights

Students and families flying through DTW—timing buffers matter.

Parents visiting

Weekend visits and drop-offs with flexible pickup planning.

Planning

Capacity + timing are the two real constraints

Student travel rarely fails because of driving—it fails because of luggage mismatch or timing assumptions. Plan those two things and the trip stays smooth.

Luggage counts

Share number of suitcases/boxes. Vehicle capacity must match, especially on move-in weekends.

Border buffers

If travel is tied to a flight or check-in time, plan buffers for variability.

DTW terminal time

Arrival time is not gate time. Plan for walking, check-in, and security.

Border guide
For documents, NEXUS, timing buffers, and inspection basics, use the border crossing guide. If you’re crossing for the first time, reading it once removes uncertainty.
