Rates change by date. U.S. Park prints no effective date for its rates, and DTW prints none either; both were checked on September 15, 2026. ParkingAccess medians cover quotes from June 17 to September 15, 2026, before taxes and fees.
Booking online at U.S. Park saves $1 a day, or $7 over a week. Against DTW's Green Lot, the drive-up rate saves $5 a day and $35 over 7 days ($105 against $140), and the online rate saves $42 over the same week. The Green Lot takes credit cards only, so DTW's 2.65% processing fee always applies there, which brings a 7-day stay to $143.71.
U.S. Park says online bookings show itemized pricing with no hidden fees, but its FAQ also says refunds are subject to service fees it does not list. Every DTW option is compared in the Detroit Metro Airport parking guide.
How does the U.S. Park shuttle reach DTW's McNamara and Evans terminals?
The lot sits 1.9 miles straight-line from the airport's map coordinates; the drive is longer. U.S. Park describes itself as right off I-94 near the main DTW entrance. From I-94, take Exit 198/199 for Middlebelt Road and head south about half a mile; the lot is on the left. Drivers coming west from Detroit, Windsor or Troy turn left onto Middlebelt, while drivers coming east from Toledo, Ann Arbor or Flint keep left for Exit 199 and turn right.
DTW's shuttle page says courtesy shuttles, including those for off-airport parking, board at the Ground Transportation Center at each terminal. If you are dropped at the wrong terminal, DTW's free terminal-to-terminal shuttle links McNamara and Evans about every 10 minutes. U.S. Park's FAQ lists a North Terminal and McNamara Terminal, while DTW's own site now names its two terminals McNamara and Evans.
Arriving at 9601 Middlebelt Road
- Reserve and prepay at us-park.com, or drive up without a reservation.
- Take I-94 to Exit 198/199, go south on Middlebelt Road about half a mile, and turn in on the left.
- If you booked, scan your reservation QR code at the entrance for a ticket; U.S. Park says this secures your quoted rate.
- Park, then board the free shuttle. All shuttles have seatbelts and room for luggage, and children's car seats are allowed if a parent installs them.
- Get off at your terminal's Ground Transportation Center.
Returning to the lot from DTW
- Collect your bags and walk to the Ground Transportation Center.
- Wait where you were dropped off; U.S. Park says the shuttle picks up at that same spot.
- Stay seated on the ride back, since standing is not allowed.
- When you exit, show your email confirmation to the cashier, printed or on your phone, or present your coupon.
What do ParkingAccess customers say about U.S. Park on Middlebelt?
The ParkingAccess data that does exist for this corner of DTW comes from the two lots it can book. Valet Connections (DTW), 1.1 miles from U.S. Park, drew 581 quotes from June 17 to September 15, 2026, at a median of $11.00 a day. Hampton Inn Detroit/Belleville (DTW), 8.5 miles away, drew 81 quotes at a median of $11.95.
That puts the Valet Connections median $3.00 a day below U.S. Park's lowest online rate and $4.00 below its drive-up rate. The two ParkingAccess medians sit only $0.95 apart, so both undercut U.S. Park's posted daily rates, before taxes and fees on either side.
