For public transport between the airport and Ann Arbor, see AirRide, which stops in downtown Ann Arbor, 800m from Campus Inn and from the Bell Tower Hotel, and 1.5 km from the Executive Residence.

The conference has made an arrangement with Bill's Van Service for door-to-door van service between the Detroit-Wayne County Metropolitan Airport and the conference hotels. If you indicate in reservation form that you are arriving for the NECTAR Conference, the company will try to group you with other NECTAR-conference attendees arriving at the same time; you will be able to share the cost of the ride between you. Please copy-paste the following sentence into the "Customer comments and/or special requests" field:

I am coming to the NECTAR conference and would like to be grouped with other NECTAR travelers if possible.

This service requires an advance reservation. Your driver will expect to be able to contact you by cellphone; please alert Bill's Van Service if no one in your party will have a cellphone with US service.

Taxis are available at Detroit Metropolitan Airport with no reservation needed.

*This rate only applies until May 12, 2015, after which the rate will increase to the regular room rate ($157 and up per night). Make sure to indicate on your conference registration the full number of nights for which you will require a reservation. Registration closes April 15!
