| How To Get To Hertz Detroit Airport |
Step 1: Baggage Claim Blues (and Triumph!)
You've battled the overhead compartment monsters and emerged victorious with your luggage. Now, don't get sidetracked by the smell of deep-dish pizza (we know, it's tempting). Look for signs that say "Ground Transportation" or "Rental Car Shuttles." Pro Tip: Following these signs is way easier than trying to decipher a hieroglyphic wall painting.
Step 2: Shuttles: Your Knight in Shining Yellow Armor (Bus)
Here comes the hero of this story – the free Hertz shuttle bus, a glorious yellow chariot waiting to whisk you away to your rental car. Board the bus, grab a seat (window seat recommended for maximum people-watching), and enjoy the short ride to the Car Rental Campus.
Important Note: If you're arriving at the McNamara Terminal, you'll find the shuttle stop in the McNamara Terminal Parking Garage Ground Transportation Center. For the Evans Terminal, the shuttle stop is located at the Big Blue Deck Ground Transportation Center.
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
Step 3: Conquering the Car Rental Counter
Welcome to the Car Rental Coliseum! Okay, maybe it's not that dramatic, but with a bit of patience and our tips, you'll be a champion in no time. Here's how to score your rental car like a pro:
- Have your reservation handy: This is your golden ticket!
- Channel your inner zen: Take a deep breath, queues can happen.
- Dress to impress (the rental car agent, that is): Okay, comfort is key, but a smile goes a long way.
- Ask questions: Don't be shy! The friendly Hertz folks are there to help.
Step 4: Hitting the Road in Style!
Congratulations, you've conquered DTW and secured your rental ride! Now, buckle up, put on your best jams (Motown classics highly recommended) and hit the road, Detroit awaits!
Bonus Tip: Don't forget to check the gas gauge before you zoom off. No one likes a gas station detour on an empty stomach.
QuickTip: Reread tricky spots right away.
