What Is the Detroit Airport Marriott Parking Experience Like?

The Detroit Metro Airport Marriott lot is at 30559 Flynn Dr in Romulus, MI, on the south side of Flynn Dr between Merriman Rd and the end of the street, about a 3-minute drive from DTW. It is an uncovered, outdoor self-park operated by Towne. On arrival, pull up to the main entrance in front of the lobby, present your Parking Pass at the front desk, then park in any space not marked "Reserved."

The lot offers in-and-out privileges during your booking, so you can return to your vehicle mid-trip if needed. The hotel's front desk is staffed 24/7, the property has full wheelchair accessibility, and there is a restaurant on site, which is handy for early morning flights.

The parking area is operated by Towne, with on-site staff to assist you. It is an uncovered self-park lot rather than a garage.

How Much Does Detroit Airport Marriott Parking Cost?

At about $10 per day before tax, the Detroit Metro Airport Marriott has the lowest base rate of the four DTW lots Triply sells. About 27% tax is added, so a 7-night stay checks out at $104.54, or about $13 per day all-in. That is the highest total of the four; Wyndham Garden Romulus has the lowest at $92.93. Triply rates here are for a 7-day stay booked ahead and change by date.

On-airport rates sourced from metroairport.com (verified October 2026). Off-site rates from Triply live search (verified October 2026). A 2.65% card processing fee applies to all on-airport payments per the Wayne County Airport Authority. For a full breakdown of every on-airport rate, see our Detroit airport parking rates guide for 2026.

For a 7-night trip (8 billed days on-airport), the Marriott checks out at $104.54 including tax, versus $160 at the DTW Green Lot, $184 at Big Blue Deck long-term and $256 at McNamara long-term (before the 2.65% card fee). That is about $55 less than the Green Lot, $79 less than Big Blue Deck and $151 less than McNamara, based on published rates. Wyndham Garden Romulus, Valet Connections and Hampton Inn Detroit/Belleville check out slightly lower, at $92.93 to $96.60.

How Does the Detroit Airport Marriott Shuttle Service Work?

The Marriott shuttle runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, on demand. There is no fixed schedule — you call ahead when you need a pickup. The estimated wait time is approximately 30 minutes, so plan accordingly before your flight.

Here is the step-by-step process for using the shuttle:

1. After parking, take your keys and belongings and go to the designated shuttle pick-up area.
2. Call (734) 729-7555 to request the shuttle.
3. The driver takes you to the airport. Tell the driver your terminal: McNamara Terminal (Delta and SkyTeam partners) or Evans Terminal (all other airlines).
4. On your return, collect your bags and go to the designated shuttle pick-up area.
5. Call the same number, (734) 729-7555, to request a ride back to the lot.

Because the shuttle is on demand rather than scheduled, expect a wait of about 30 minutes each way. Call as soon as you reach the designated pick-up area, and leave extra time before your flight, especially if you need to clear TSA security screening. Enrolling in TSA PreCheck can cut security time significantly and give you more buffer on tight departures.

Compare this to Valet Connections, which runs every 10 to 15 minutes. If shuttle frequency is your top priority, see our full comparison of airport parking near DTW, which covers all four off-site lots and their shuttle schedules side by side.

How Far Is the Detroit Airport Marriott from DTW Terminals?

The Detroit Metro Airport Marriott is listed 2.2 miles from DTW, about a 3-minute drive. Wyndham Garden Romulus, at 1.8 miles, is closer. The airport is located in Romulus, MI, just off Interstate 94 and Interstate 275.

DTW has two terminals:

• McNamara Terminal (Concourses A, B, C) — Delta, Air France, KLM, Korean Air, WestJet, Aeromexico
• Evans Terminal (Concourse D) — Alaska, American, Frontier, JetBlue, Lufthansa, Southwest, Spirit, Sun Country, United

Note that you cannot walk between McNamara and Evans terminals — they are separate buildings. If you need to reach the other terminal, use the free airport shuttle on arrival. Always confirm your terminal before requesting your drop-off from the Marriott driver.

One active road consideration: the Dingell Drive Tunnels and Roadway Rehabilitation program — an $85.5 million federally funded project — is underway through 2027. Temporary lane closures on airport access roads are possible. Use the Waze live traffic map before heading out to check for detours, especially during peak hours.

How Do You Reserve a Parking Spot at the Detroit Airport Marriott?

You book Detroit Airport Marriott parking online through Triply, not directly through the hotel. Pre-booking locks in your rate and comes with free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in.

Here is how to reserve:

1. Go to Triply's DTW parking search and enter your travel dates.
2. Select Detroit Metro Airport Marriott from the results.
3. Complete your booking and keep your confirmation handy, digital or printed.
4. On arrival, pull up to the main entrance in front of the lobby and present your Parking Pass at the front desk.
5. Park in any space not marked "Reserved." You can leave the lot whenever you are ready to depart.

Free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in means you can book early without risk. Booking ahead is the way to secure your spot, since walk-up availability is not guaranteed.

Is Detroit Airport Marriott Parking Safe and Reliable?

The Detroit Metro Airport Marriott lot is operated by Towne, with on-site staff to assist you. The lot is outdoors and uncovered. The hotel's 24/7 front desk provides around-the-clock staff presence on the property.

Key security and reliability features include:

• 24/7 front desk at the hotel
• On-site staff to assist you
• Full wheelchair accessibility
• In-and-out privileges during your booking
• Operated by Towne
• Free cancellation with a full refund up to 24 hours before check-in

The lot is uncovered, so your vehicle is exposed to weather. Michigan winters can bring snow and ice, so factor that in for longer stays. If covered parking is a priority, the on-airport McNamara Garage and Big Blue Deck are covered, though long-term parking there costs $23 to $32/day, noticeably more. See our Detroit airport parking garage guide for covered option details.

How Does Detroit Airport Marriott Parking Compare to Official DTW Lots?

Over a 7-night trip, Detroit Airport Marriott parking costs about $55 to $151 less than on-airport options (Green Lot, Big Blue Deck and McNamara long-term), based on published 2026 rates and the Marriott's checkout including tax. The trade-off is a shuttle ride instead of a walk to the terminal.

Here is a quick pros-and-cons comparison:

Most DTW garage areas cap at 7 ft 0 in (van spaces go to 8 ft 2 in), and only the Green Lot (at $20/day) takes anything taller. The Marriott listing does not state a vehicle size policy, so check with the lot before booking a very large vehicle. Valet Connections and Hampton Inn Detroit/Belleville list no extra charge for full-size vans, pickup trucks and large SUVs, though they have 2-day and 3-day minimums. For the full picture on the Green Lot, read our DTW Airport Green Lot guide.
