The car rental companies at Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport have no rental desks in the terminals. Therefore, you’ll locate them at the Rental Car Campus situated on the airport’s property. Look out for the Ground Transportation signage, which will direct you to board a country bus shuttle to the rental car section along Lucas Drive in the Northeast corner of DTW. Alternatively, you can walk to the rental car shuttle stops situated in the Ground Transportation Centers at the Big Blue Deck and McNamara Terminal Parking Garage of DTW North Terminal. Then proceed to the car rental counter to obtain the rental agreement.
If you’re looking forward to renting a car at DTW, you should consider the most reliable and affordable car brand. In this case, your car of choice should be from the Intermediate Cars, preferably a Hyundai Elantra or Toyota RAV 4. If not, you can try a Chevrolet Spark if you’re traveling with limited resources. All these cars will give you value for your money and time at pocket-friendly rates.

May 2021
Pros:
Staff was helpful and the drop off was VERY quick and easy.Cons:
Computers were down when picking up my rental, so there was a long line and long wait to complete the paperwork. Then, after the paperwork was completed, they had to radio someone to bring up our rental (a minivan) and we waited more than 20 minutes for someone to bring it. I went back to the counter and asked if the van was somewhere we could walk to and pick it up and they radioed again. Then I watched as a porter went to a minivan that was a short walk (maybe 100 yards away) and drive the car to the front of the building.6.0 Okay

Pros:
Tricia was top-notch, extremely helpful to me when I was picking up the car and dropping it off. I wish more rental car companies had people like her to help folks like me!7.2 Good
Dec 2019
Pros:
2019 Camry was a great car.Cons:
$13/day to add a spouse as a driver is ridiculous. Every other car rental company that I’ve used does this for free. Will not be using Thrifty in the future on this basis.One location in Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport

Pros:
The Budget car rental staff and policy are the worst I have ever dealt with. Especially Kayak. HOW CAN YOU LET A DRIVER RESERVE A VEHICLE THAT YOU MUST BE 25 TO RESERVE AND THEN CANCEL FOR A FEE. WITH NO AGE VERIFICATION. Completely B.SCons:
HAVE AGE VERIFICATION BEFORE RESERVING A CAR THAT REQUIRES A CERTAIN AGE TO EVEN PICK UP!!!!!6.4 Okay

Pros:
Staff was friendly and helpful. Upgraded the vehicle (with a charge) to make our trip the best it could be. Vehicle was brand new (3 miles on it when I drove it off the lot), clean, and had a full tank of gas.Cons:
The rental counter was short staffed (1 person working the main counter, 1 person working the "Gold" counter) with several people standing in line. I arrived at 3:05 for a 3:00 pick-up and didn't get out the door until almost 4. Service was great, once I got to an agent.10.0 Wonderful

Jul 2016
Pros:
The car was great and drop off was quick and easy.Cons:
The pickup was terrible. Attendant in the lot just stared right through me as I asked a question 3 times and then yelled into his radio. Eventually I gave up and figured it out myself. He never acknowledged that I was even standing there. Then i walked all the way across the lot to the building and the clerk inside asked a bunch of questions about insurance even though I purchased it when I booked the car. I didn't know it was third party but he acted like it was no good. Then told me to go out by the fence to get a truck. The only vehicles by the fence were needing maintenance. Someone drove by and told me to go back in and have him call for one. So I did. Waited 15 more minutes and the lady from Alamo came to ask if I was waiting for a truck and that it had been parked on the other side.One location in Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport
