Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) operates two terminals: the McNamara Terminal and the North Terminal. They are connected by the MTC (Michigan Terminal Connector) shuttle — a free automated transit system running every 3-5 minutes. Your Detailed Drivers chauffeur meets you at the correct terminal based on your airline, so there's no risk of waiting at the wrong building.

MTC Shuttle Note
The free MTC shuttle connects McNamara and North terminals every 3-5 minutes. If you arrive at the wrong terminal, the shuttle takes 4 minutes. Your driver monitors your terminal assignment from your flight number.

Detroit Metropolitan Airport processes 35 million passengers annually. The DTW curbside pickup zone on Level 1 is heavily monitored — vehicles are given a 3-minute limit by Wayne County Airport Authority traffic control. In January during the Detroit Auto Show, curbside congestion at DTW can extend wait times by 20-30 minutes as rideshare drivers circle the airport loop repeatedly.
