For Journeys that Matter
Detroit Metropolitan Airport's own prearranged page asks customers to arrange a meeting location with their transportation provider before they arrive. LUXY Ride is a pre-arranged black car service for Detroit, and your fare appears before you confirm.
LUXY connects you with a professional chauffeur through our partner network, and your assigned chauffeur's details are sent before your trip. Book it for a flight into DTW, a day of sessions at Huntington Place, a dinner in Greektown, or an evening near Comerica Park, and set up a business account when a corporate team is traveling. Your booking confirmation carries the pickup details, and a ride home is booked as a separate trip.

WHY DETROIT
Why travelers come to Detroit
Meetings drive much of the travel downtown. Huntington Place, at One Washington Boulevard, lists 623,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space, 723,000 square feet in total, the 40,000 square foot Grand Riverview Ballroom, and 98 meeting rooms. A team in town for a trade show will arrive on different flights and leave at different hours, so ride details are easier to settle before anyone lands.
Visit Detroit also reports more than 1,600 new downtown hotel rooms being added. A LUXY business account lets a company keep a team's rides together.
Music is a reason to visit on its own. The Motown Museum, at 2648 W. Grand Boulevard, describes itself as home to Hitsville U.S.A., Studio A, and its site posts the current tour status, so check it before you plan a visit. Movement's own site calls Detroit the "birthplace of Techno" and places the festival at Hart Plaza. The Detroit Jazz Festival calls itself the world's largest free jazz festival and runs over Labor Day weekend. Dates for each are in the table further down this page.
Sports and evenings out are close together. Visit Detroit says all four professional teams play in its downtown core. The Red Wings and Pistons share Little Caesars Arena, the Lions play at Ford Field a few blocks over, and the Tigers play at Comerica Park. Greektown is bounded by Macomb, Randolph, and Lafayette Streets and Chrysler Drive, and Visit Detroit calls it one of the last surviving Victorian-era commercial streetscapes in downtown Detroit. Visit Detroit also suggests allowing extra time for parking and navigation on weekends and event days, so a ride settled ahead of time takes one decision off a busy evening.
Five Detroit stops worth booking a ride to
Huntington Place
Huntington Place is at One Washington Boulevard and lists 98 meeting rooms. Add it as your drop-off address when a conference brings you downtown, then book your return separately.
Ford Field
Ford Field is at 2000 Brush Street, and Visit Detroit places it a few blocks from Little Caesars Arena. Put the address in when you book and your pickup details arrive with your booking confirmation.
The Henry Ford
Visit Detroit places The Henry Ford in Dearborn, which it puts about 8 miles from Detroit. A group heading out for the day can choose a larger vehicle when booking, depending on availability.
Detroit Zoo
Visit Detroit lists the Detroit Zoo in Royal Oak, about 15 miles from Detroit. Book the ride out and the ride home as two separate trips.
Cranbrook House and Gardens
Visit Detroit describes 40 acres of Cranbrook Gardens, with formal and contemporary gardens that complement Cranbrook House. Use the address from Cranbrook's own site when you book.

We Have Answers
What does Detroit Metro Airport say about prearranged pickups?
DTW's prearranged page says prearranged customers may meet their provider in designated areas of their terminal's baggage claim area or Ground Transportation Center, and should arrange a meeting location in advance. With LUXY Ride, the pickup details come in your booking confirmation, and flight tracking adjusts pickup timing for arrivals that land early or late.
Can I book a ride for an event at Huntington Place?
Yes, put Huntington Place at One Washington Boulevard in as your pickup or drop-off address. You see your fare before you confirm, and a ride home is booked as a separate trip. A team attending the same event can use a business account, and the event table on this page lists upcoming dates.
How far are Dearborn, Troy, and Warren from downtown Detroit?
Visit Detroit puts Dearborn about 8 miles from Detroit, Troy about 24 miles, and Warren about 19 miles. These are distances, not travel times. Enter any of the three as your destination and you see the fare before you confirm, with the pickup details sent in your booking confirmation.
Can I book rides to the Oakland and Macomb county suburbs?
You can enter any address when you book, including places such as Royal Oak, Rochester Hills, and Warren, and you see your fare before you confirm. Availability depends on LUXY's partner network. Trips are performed by licensed, verified chauffeurs from that network, and your assigned chauffeur's details are sent before your trip.
How does a team set up one account for a week of meetings in Detroit?
A LUXY Ride business account lets a company arrange rides for its whole team, and you can start at luxyride.com/corporate-program. Rides are set up ahead of time, so a team heading to a multi day conference can book every one before arriving. A ride home is a separate trip.
