University of Michigan Private Transportation
In 1817, the University of Michigan opened in Detroit, and twenty years later it moved west to 40 acres in Ann Arbor. It has spread onto both banks of the Huron River ever since. That history means a college visit here turns less on locating the city than on finding the correct door, which may well sit on the other bank entirely.
When you reserve our University of Michigan private transportation, we start by asking for the hall, not the campus. With that detail in hand, your chauffeur chooses the right exit off I-94 or US-23, knows the side street closest to that hall, and pulls up where your visit begins.
The consistency our clients count on, booking after booking, shows up in our Google reviews: “Our driver was prompt and courteous. He was available at all times during our event. We will definitely be using Allstar Chauffeured Services for all of our transportation needs.”
Central or North: Which Campus Do You Need?
We sort most visits into two destinations and approach each one differently:
- For a class, a meeting at the Ross School of Business, or a performance at Hill Auditorium, the right stop is Central Campus, south of the river, with the shops and cafés of downtown just beyond it.
- For the College of Engineering or the School of Music, Theatre & Dance, you need North Campus across the Huron, and we reach it from another direction entirely, leaving I-94 for US-23 and exiting at Plymouth Road.
- For both, parking stops being your problem, and that matters most on the north side, where even the engineering departments warn that spaces run extremely short during weekday working hours.
That detail weighs heaviest on one guest in particular: the faculty candidate with back-to-back interviews and a job talk for the engineering department, arriving by plane that same morning. The fear is simple and very real: walking in late and out of breath after circling the block for a legal space. If that describes your day, leave the logistics with us and save your energy for the talk.
The evening before, we confirm the hall and entrance with you, and the vehicle arrives early, so the drive in becomes time to gather your notes, and your hosts see someone calm and ready. On the day, you can text or call your chauffeur directly, and if the search committee runs long over lunch, a single message moves your return to the airport.
For fall 2026 visits around Hill Auditorium, the exact drop-off matters even more. Construction has closed North University and Thayer Street beside Hill and is limiting nearby parking access, so we confirm the current approach before the reservation rather than relying on the usual campus pattern.
Big House Saturdays, Minus the Traffic
Game day means sharing Ann Arbor with 107,601 fans in a city of roughly 124,000, and the streets start filling early. We make a habit of arriving as the Big House opens its gates, two hours before kickoff, and since the stadium turns away any bag that is not small or clear, coats and anything extra can stay in the vehicle.
Once the game ends, Main Street and Ann Arbor-Saline Road run one-way southbound toward I-94, and the university tows anything left in the lots two hours later. We wait along that outbound route, which lets you head east for Detroit or the airport while plenty of fans are still folding up chairs on the golf course. A good number of families and alumni groups book the whole Saturday with us: one reservation spans the drive to the tailgate, the four quarters in between, and the return trip afterward.
Solo, Family, or the Whole Alumni Crew?
A single week at Michigan can bring a midweek job interview, an admissions tour on Friday, and a full stadium on Saturday. We choose from our fleet with that whole week in mind:
- Midweek visits tend to move from office to office, and between appointments our Executive Sedan becomes your private room, with up to three seats, generous legroom, and bottled water on hand while you return a call or collect your thoughts.
- A family and a hopeful high school senior comparing notes after each campus tour head out in our Cadillac Escalade ESV, which takes six people and six bags, and its heated rear seats make a Michigan winter visit far more pleasant.
- Alumni who want to share everything from the first burger at the tailgate to the walk across Stadium Boulevard fill our Executive Mercedes Sprinter. All 14 seats come with room for luggage, and nobody spends the second half worrying about who drives home.
Landing at DTW, Heading to Campus
If you are arriving by air, we will most likely meet you at Detroit Metro Airport (DTW), about 25 miles east of Ann Arbor and roughly 45 minutes away on a typical weekday. Delta and most international flights use the McNamara Terminal, while other domestic carriers use the Evans Terminal. We check your airline in advance and head for the correct side of the airport.
You will find your name on a sign near baggage claim, or just outside customs for an international arrival, and your booking includes 60 minutes of grace time from gate arrival, so a slow carousel costs you nothing extra. A late departure out of Chicago or Atlanta causes no trouble either, because we follow the flight and adjust the meeting time on our own.
Both Banks of the Huron: Our UM Private Transportation
You might be here to defend a dissertation, catch a student recital, or sing The Victors with a hundred thousand strangers. Moments like these are part of what makes Michigan unique, and the one that brought you here should get all of your attention. The ramps and the post-game detours are familiar ground for the team at ALLSTAR Chauffeured Services, and we have answered calls at any hour since 1994, even when the question comes at 11 p.m.
Once you have a date in mind, share it with us, along with the hall name and the number of guests. That short list gives us everything we need to arrange our UM private transportation. Call (248) 549-8800, email [email protected], or reserve on our website, whichever suits you best.
