Detroit Travel FAQs

A car is strongly recommended when traveling around Detroit. Detroit is a very large metropolitan area, and many of its attractions and top destinations are spread out. Access to a rental car will help you save time and money by avoiding strict public transportation schedules and expensive rideshare services. (Source)

The best rental depends on your personal preferences and itinerary. If you have a lot of gear for adventures on the Detroit River, try a larger vehicle like an SUV. If you plan on sticking to downtown attractions like the Detroit Institute of Art, a compact car provides fuel savings and easier parking capabilities. 

There’s a lot more traffic in Detroit than in smaller cities—especially during rush hour. Fortunately, the city has several interstates and tollways, giving you more options to travel if traffic is backed up on a particular route. Downtown has plentiful parking options, too, so it’s easier to reach attractions once you’re there. (Source)

Detroit is a dynamic, unique, and diverse city home to various backgrounds and cultures, including German, Mexican, Irish, Polish, African, Middle Eastern, and Greek.
