To rent a car in Detroit, you will need to provide several forms of documentation. First, you will need to show a valid driver's license. You should also bring a major credit or debit card, as well as proof of insurance. If you are under 25 years old, you may need to provide additional documentation. Additionally, you should have your passport if you plan to drive outside of the United States. When you arrive at the rental car location, you will be asked to fill out forms and provide your driver's license and payment information. You may also be asked to provide proof of insurance. Once you provide all the necessary documents and sign the rental agreement, you will be ready to drive away.
In Detroit, drivers tend to be very friendly and courteous. Drivers will usually give you the right of way and it is common for them to wave you into a traffic merge. It is also common for them to honk if you hesitate more than a second at a green light. That being said, drivers in Detroit can be aggressive, so it is important to be aware of your surroundings and drive defensively. It is also important to follow the speed limit, obey traffic laws, and use your turn signals. Additionally, Detroit drivers are often very aware of pedestrians and cyclists, so be sure to exercise caution when driving near them. Lastly, it is important to be aware of road construction and other traffic hazards. With a bit of caution, you can enjoy a safe and pleasant ride in Detroit.
The most congested roads in Detroit are usually major highways like I-94, I-75, and I-96. These highways are especially congested during rush hour, which usually occurs between 6 am and 10 am and between 3 pm and 7 pm. Additionally, the Woodward Corridor, which runs from downtown Detroit to Pontiac, can be congested during rush hour and other times of the day. Other major roads, like Grand River Avenue and Gratiot Avenue, can also become congested during peak times. However; traffic can still be heavy at times due to events like concerts, festivals, and sporting events. It is best to avoid driving during rush hour if possible and to plan your route accordingly.
Upon collecting your baggage, follow the signs leading you to Ground Transportation, where you can board a complimentary courtesy shuttle heading to the rental car campus positioned at the Northeastern corner of the airport along Lucas Dr. Conveniently, the rental car shuttle bus stops are situated in the ground transportation areas of the parking garage at McNamara Terminal and the Big Blue Parking Deck of Evans Terminal. At the rental car campus, you'll find car rental services offered by approximately nine major rental companies. When it's time to return your car, simply drive to the rental car facility lots. After returning the keys, a shuttle bus will transport you directly to your terminal's ground transportation area.
Check if the rental car is equipped with winter tires or consider requesting them. Winter tires provide better traction and handling on icy and snowy roads, enhancing your safety during winter driving. Verify if the rental car includes snow chains or ice scrapers. Snow chains can be useful in extreme snow conditions, and an ice scraper will help you clear frost and ice from the windows. If you're not accustomed to driving in winter conditions, consider practicing in a safe area before heading out on unfamiliar roads. Ensure the rental car has an emergency kit, including essentials like a flashlight, first aid supplies, a blanket, and jumper cables. Check if the rental company offers 24/7 roadside assistance in case of emergencies or breakdowns.
