I rent quiet frequently at DTW. I started off as a Emerald member and went on to become an Executive Elite just with all my rentals there. As far as I can tell, folks at this location are very good to work with. I have seen several Cadillac CTS/XTS, Volvos there lot of times. They wouldn't usually question when you pick them up. They also accommodate individual requests for specific cars by bringing them from the back.

I'll be picking up at DTW next month and doing a trip through Ontario. For part of that trip I will be in Toronto, which I know has toll roads. Does anyone know if I need to get a toll transponder from the DTW station or if the 'plate pass' system will work in Toronto?
Side note, would there be any other alternatives than using National's Toll Convenience program as I will only be in Toronto for a day or 2 out of a week long trip and I know National will charge me 3.95/day even if I don't incur a toll each day.
Thanks!

As far as I know they do not offer ETR transponders at this station. I don't know if plate pass will work on the ETR either, so you may want to ask or just avoid the 407 when you're in the GTA.

I've been able to get them for my trips to Canada but had to ask.
Thursday 10PM
ES notables included a brand new 2016 Toyota Sequoia Limited, a VW GTI, Wranglers in 2 and 4-door varieties, several 2016 Camaro coupes, a Lacrosse, a Maxima, and a bunch of the usual suspects (pickups in 1/2 and 3/4 ton flavors and small Jeeps).

I was there last week and saw an Infiniti Q50 3.7 in ES. There was also a 2016 Camaro. I ended up going with a GTI that was parked in EA since I have never had a chance to rent one before.

Platepass did work for me when I had a ON plated car on the 407. It was very expensive though with $4.05 Camera Charge and plate pass fees.

On a side note, it seems like DTW has had some interesting selections lately. Looking forward to that!

Last Sunday around 11 PM, slim pickings.
A couple Sonatas, and Santa Fes, an Impala, a lot of Jeep and Dodge crossovers (I have a no Chrysler rule when renting). Not a whole lot else. I took a Toyota Rav 4 from ES and am quite happy with it. Usually the late Sunday night selection is better, maybe they were running behind getting cars checked in and washed.

I am picking up a Standard SUV from DTW and I am really hoping to get a Jeep Grand Cherokee from the Executive Aisle. I got lucky the last time as I grabbed one as soon as they were parking one in the area. Any idea whether I would have a decent pool to choose from on a Saturday noon?
