A Message from the Heart

“I highly recommend Lakes Transportation for anyone seeking dependable, professional transportation services. They provide convenient door-to-door service, picking me up directly from my home in Bruce Township and ensuring a comfortable, stress-free trip to the airport.

What sets Lakes Transportation apart is their commitment to professionalism. They are reliable, punctual, fully insured for passenger transportation, and their vehicles are exceptionally clean and well maintained.

In addition to airport transportation, Lakes Transportation provides service to both Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) and Flint Bishop International Airport. They also offer pickups throughout the Detroit metropolitan area and Ann Arbor, making them a convenient choice for travelers across Southeast Michigan. Beyond airport transportation, they also provide transportation for weddings, Detroit concerts, sporting events, and other special occasions.

The owner, Susan, is a cancer survivor who generously gives back to the community by supporting cancer awareness and assistance programs. It’s inspiring to support a business that is equally committed to serving others.

The drivers are outstanding as well. Renee, a veteran and mother of five, is warm, professional, and dedicated to exceptional customer service. Rich is an experienced, skilled driver who is also a wonderful conversationalist if you enjoy chatting during your ride.

Lakes Transportation has earned my trust through its outstanding service, attention to detail, and genuine commitment to customer care. Whether you need a ride to the airport, transportation for a wedding, or a night out at a concert or sporting event, I wholeheartedly recommend Lakes Transportation. You can travel with confidence knowing you’ll receive safe, reliable, and professional service every time.”
