Plan this exact trip
Plan for when the passenger can meet—not only when the flight lands
The connection includes the arriving terminal, baggage release, prearranged meeting point, passenger contact, Canadian inspection, Windsor traffic, station access, and the traveller's chosen time to be ready for the train.
Pickup
Send the arriving flight and departing train
Provide the airline, DTW flight number, arrival type, VIA train number, departure time, passengers, luggage, and a reachable mobile number.
On the way
Use the confirmed DTW meeting instructions
Prearranged pickup depends on McNamara or Evans Terminal, baggage readiness, current airport rules, driver staging, and the passenger handoff confirmed for the booking.
Arrival
Continue through the border to Windsor station
Dispatch reviews the northbound trip to 298 Walker Road, Windsor, Ontario. The traveller remains responsible for choosing an adequate train-ready margin and following VIA Rail boarding requirements.

Answers before you book
Questions and current planning links for DTW Airport to Windsor Train Station
Use these answers to decide whether the route fits. Current meeting instructions, availability, and fare are confirmed with your booking.
Where do I meet the chauffeur at DTW?
The prearranged meeting point depends on the airline, McNamara or Evans Terminal, arrival type, baggage timing, and current airport rules. Follow the meeting instructions confirmed for the reservation rather than assuming curbside pickup.
Can pickup adjust if my flight or baggage is delayed?
Provide the flight number and a reachable passenger contact. Dispatch can review updated flight and passenger-ready information and adjust the working pickup plan, subject to availability and airport conditions.
Can you guarantee I will make the Windsor train?
No. Dispatch can review a working itinerary, but cannot guarantee flight, baggage, terminal, border, roadway, weather, station, or boarding conditions. Choose a conservative station-ready margin.
Where is the Windsor VIA Rail station?
The current official station address is 298 Walker Road, Windsor, Ontario. Review VIA Rail's current station and boarding information before travel.
How is the DTW-to-Windsor station fare set?
The fare is reviewed from both schedules, airport meeting context, station deadline, border exposure, passengers, luggage, vehicle fit, stops, date, and driver requirements, then confirmed before booking.
