Airport to Hotel and Back

Ground Transportation!

• Checker Sedan is the preferred method of ground transportation from the Metro Detroit Airport to the Detroit Marriott Renaissance Center Hotel.
• They are offering our conference delegates a $20 discount for roundtrip orders which comes to $76 roundtrip but it is for up to 4 individuals!!!!
• Yes, we know this is sort of expensive at $76 Net Price($48*2)-$20 roundtrip BUT it is for up to 4 individuals (as long as there is not way too much luggage).  Remember, Detroit is a "car driver town" and few need rides as everyone drives (domestic cars of course!).
• Best to make your reservations ahead of time, just click here. for their online reservation pre-payment system.
• When you arrive in Detroit, meet your Checker Sedan driver in the Ground Transportation Center of either the McNamara, Smith or Berry Terminals.
• For the McNamara Terminal (Northwest, Continental & Delta), upon retrieving you luggage, go up one level and take the crossover into the parking garage. Take the RIGHT escalator down and to the left to the Checker Sedan counter.
• For the Smith Terminal (all other airlines), upon retrieving your luggage, go outside and across the roadway to the 3 service curbs. Meet your Checker Sedan driver right at his/her car staged at the first curb lane.
• If you require any assistance, please feel free to call Checker Sedan 24/7 at 313-963-1000.
