Getting In, Getting Around Novi

Access to Novi is easy. From the south or east, just follow I-696 west or I-275 north to I-96 west, and exit at Novi Road. However, visitors to the shopping area, located just north of I-96, may want to exit either highway onto M-5 North, and exit M-5 at Twelve Mile Road. This takes you in the back way and can save time. From the west, exit I-96 at Novi Road. From the north, you'll need a map unless you take one of these highways due to the large number of lakes, and lack of through roads north of Novi.

Transportation via CSX Railway or nearby Detroit Metropolitan Airport and Oakland County International Airport offer direct connections to major North American and worldwide markets.

Automobiles are virtually a necessity for travel in the Detroit area. Public transportation is practically non-existent when compared to other metropolitan areas of similar size. Detroit suburbs spread over a large area, and getting around may prove to be difficult without a car. Nonetheless, an extensive highway system and ample parking make the region one of the most auto-friendly in North America.

Detroit has an abundance of taxi, limo, and shuttle services. Car rental prices are reasonable. Ask your auto insurance agent for a complementary Canadian insurance ID card, if you plan to drive to Windsor. When buying extra rental car insurance, you can ask for coverage to drive in Windsor.

SMART bus (Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation) provides a large number of transportation options.
