This year, Uber has partnered with Detroit’s Cobo Center to make pickups and drop offs easier–just in time for the Detroit Auto Show. From January 8-22, there will be plenty of opportunities to earn as thousands of industry leaders, press, and members of the public travel to and from Cobo to check out this year’s show. Check out our guide below to learn how to make the most of your time on the road.

Where do I do pickups and drop offs at Cobo?

As a rideshare provider of the Cobo Center, Uber has dedicated pick up and drop off space on Washington Blvd. between Fort St. and Congress St. The best way to reach the area is to enter Washington Blvd. from the northwest and exit onto Congress after completing your pickup or drop off.

Thanks for all you do to keep Detroit moving during the auto industry’s biggest week of the year.
