Ann Arbor Airport Transfer Shuttle Bus Services
The Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) at One World Gateway, Romulus, MI 48174 is the primary commercial airport serving Ann Arbor groups, sitting roughly 25 miles east via I-94.

At DTW, charter buses use assigned stalls in the McNamara or Evans Terminal Ground Transportation Center, giving your group a designated meeting area for a coordinated pickup or drop-off. DTW charter-bus pickup areas help your group meet up at the airport.
Returning from a trip? Arrange your group’s meeting point in advance, then use the assigned charter-bus stalls at the terminal Ground Transportation Center, rather than expecting a bus to wait at the arrivals curb.

Prom season in late April and May is the next crunch period, followed by University of Michigan graduation weekend in late April and early May. Art Fair, held every July in downtown Ann Arbor, also drives significant demand.
Book as early as possible for any of these dates; waiting until the last minute almost always means higher rates or no availability.
Michigan Stadium parking on game days is managed by the University of Michigan Athletic Department, and motorcoach parking assignments vary by event. The U-M Athletic Department recommends contacting their parking office well in advance of your game day to confirm charter bus drop-off zones and designated motorcoach parking areas near the stadium. Buses typically use the south campus lots along South Main Street and Stadium Boulevard for staging.
It is strongly advised to confirm your specific parking assignment before your event and arrive well before kickoff, as traffic on State Street and Main Street backs up significantly in the two hours leading up to game time. The 2026 stadium map identifies a drop-off location near Gate 3 on East Stadium Boulevard, and game-day closures affect East Keech Street and South Main Street.

The Michigan Theater
The Michigan Theater (603 E Liberty St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104) is a stunning 1927 atmospheric movie palace in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, operating as a nonprofit performing arts center and cinema. The Michigan Theater hosts film premieres, live performances, classic film screenings, and special events throughout the year, making it one of the city's most beloved cultural institutions. Its location on East Liberty Street places it in the middle of Ann Arbor's vibrant downtown, where street parking fills up quickly on event nights.
Bus drop-off along East Liberty Street or nearby South Fourth Avenue is the most practical approach for groups. A charter bus or minibus rental brings your group to events at The Michigan Theater together.
