Rental cars lined up on an empty airport apron at night, an airliner climbing behind them.

Arrivals · DTW

We meet the flight, not the counter.

Tell us which flight you are on and where it puts down. Your car is already standing on the arrivals roadway as you come through the doors, tank full and freshly cleaned, and the keys change hands inside a couple of minutes.

Arrivals board

Book any of them

Each line here opens a booking page over at rochester.rentals, which owns the calendar, the open dates and the money. What a line says about rate and status is read back from the operator's own record, so it turns over as that record does.

Gate to car, minus the shuttle.

Rental traffic at Detroit Metropolitan is routed to a consolidated facility off the airport property, so the ordinary path from your gate to a set of keys runs shuttle, then line, then a hunt along a row of numbered bays. Removing all three is the only reason this page exists. Rochester Car Rental drives the car you chose up to the arrivals roadway at McNamara, or over at Warren Cleage Evans, scheduled against the touchdown time you give us, and the keys change hands where you step out of the building.

Two buildings, one pickup each

McNamara. Or else Warren Cleage Evans. Name yours on the booking and your car waits at the curb outside that building, not at a desk somewhere else on the field.

How the delivery runs

The board reads the operator's record

Rate and status on every line are pulled from the record the operator keeps. A car going out changes its line here, and nobody rewrites this page to make that happen.

A late aircraft moves the car

Tell us the revised touchdown time. The drop travels along with it, and none of the booking has to be redone because a jet sat waiting on a taxiway.

Land, walk out, drive.

Pick a line off the board

Every vehicle opens onto rochester.rentals, which carries the calendar, what is free, and the price you will actually be charged.

Hand over the flight details

Carrier and number, which terminal, and the touchdown time on the schedule. That is enough to put a car at the right door in the right hour.

Sign on the arrivals roadway

Your car is already outside, fuel topped off and the interior clean. Documents are checked as the keys change hands, and you merge onto I-94.

Send us your flight.

Put the carrier, the number, which terminal, and anything else you want us to know into the message box. It lands on the operator's desk and a person writes back.

Nothing is booked or paid for here. Use this for flight details, and for whatever question arrives with them.

For example: DL 1234 into McNamara, down at 4:20pm, two large cases.

FAQ

Which terminal do I name when I book?
Whichever one your aircraft puts down at. McNamara, else it is Warren Cleage Evans. Write it beside the flight number and your car stands on the arrivals roadway outside it. Not certain which it is? Give the flight number by itself and the desk works it out.
My flight is running late. Then what?
Give us the revised touchdown time. The drop is scheduled against that, not against the hour written on the original booking, so a delay moves your car rather than leaving it standing.
Where exactly is the car when I walk out?
Out on the arrivals level, in front of whichever building you named, at the same door you would use to meet somebody collecting you. Nothing to cross, no bus to board.
Why does the board show fewer vehicles than the fleet size?
The fleet figure is the count Rochester Car Rental runs. This board carries only what has been released to it at this moment, which is the smaller number. Go to rochester.rentals for the whole picture.
Who takes the payment?
Rochester Car Rental does, through its own store. This page passes you to a vehicle page and stops. Dates, what is free, any drop charge and any tax are all on screen before money moves.
Is this a separate company from Rochester Car Rental?
No. One operator, one fleet, one crew, writing a page for the arrivals level instead of for a suburban driveway.
