Safest parking options at DTW ?

looking for a safe, reliable place to park my car for a few days while traveling.
For those who regularly fly out of DTW, which parking options do you recommend? Is the airport’s official long-term parking worth the extra cost, or are off-site parking lots equally safe?
I’d appreciate recommendations based on security, shuttle reliability, and overall value. Thanks!

Qwik Park is great. We also just came home from two weeks in europe and parked at Airlines Parking with a voucher from the hotel we stayed at the night before we left, and i would also recommend them. (Either way, write down where you parked, just in case. Those lots are huge.)

Quik Park generally marks down where they pick you up on a piece of paper they hand you (bright red). Agree it’s best to write it down, but it’s easy to hand the pickup driver at airport that tag and they’ll take you to your car.

OP I assume all off site parking spots are equally as safe. All are gated to get in/out so shouldn’t be any people going in with bad intentions. They want to make sure they’re safe as bad experiences would get around and people would go elsewhere (although I think same company owns most/all these lots anyways). On site parking at terminals is also safe, maybe feels unsafe being in a garage deck but don’t think there are lots of issues either way.
