About the DTW Rental Car Center
The Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) Rental Car Center is a convenient hub that brings multiple rental car brands together to make it easier for travelers to start their drive quickly. Located just outside the main terminal area, the center is reached by frequent shuttle buses that pick up passengers at clearly marked stops near baggage claim at both the McNamara and North terminals. This setup helps reduce curbside congestion and keeps the rental process organized and efficient.
The DTW Rental Car Center includes customer service counters, ready and return parking areas, vehicle prep space, and support operations for major national brands. Travelers can move from plane to shuttle to vehicle in a short, straightforward sequence. Clear signage and dedicated lanes help keep traffic flowing around the facility.
The center supports modern travel needs with options for electric and hybrid rentals and on site EV charging stations used by participating fleets. Energy efficient lighting and water saving practices are part of ongoing efforts to improve sustainability. While not connected by a people mover system, the reliable shuttle service operates throughout the day and night to meet flight schedules.
Whether you are flying in for business across Metro Detroit or planning a trip through Michigan, the DTW Rental Car Center provides quick access to a wide range of vehicles in one location.
