About Detroit Airport Taxi
Passenger safety and comfort come first.
Also known as the Detroit Airport Taxi, these vehicles, and their drivers, have earned the reputation for providing the best taxi service in the world. Every driver is required to undergo a rigorous test of his/her knowledge of Detroit, MI which can take up to four years to learn before the coveted badge is awarded. Each individual's character is tested and checks are made regarding any criminal records.
Our vehicles are easily recognisable, for obvious reasons. Their 25ft turning circle means that they can still 'turn on a sixpence' (or a dime). There are currently three different shaped models working the Detroit area. The Fairway has kept much of the shape of what everybody imagines a Detroit taxi to be but they will be gradually replaced by the newest models. These taxis have taken on many improvements to passenger safety and driver comfort.
Other forms of transport in Detroit such as minicabs, limousine and chauffeur services and private hire are not allowed to ply for hire or be hailed in the street - they must be booked through their office or, of course, via the Internet. Only traditional Detroit Taxis (Detroit Airport Taxi) are licensed by to ply for hire in Detroit.
