Getting around in Detroit
Taxi
Detroiters are notoriously famous for never hailing cabs and preferring driving
their own vehicles. You can still try calling these cab companies Checker Cab Co.
(Phone: 313-963-7000), Greater Detroit Cab Company (313-962-4116),
and Detroit Cab Company (313-841-6000).
Car Hire
Detroit is a fairly driving friendly city. Avoid driving between the usual traffic
hours and look out for parking stations that allow you to park for longer durations
at cheap prices. Detroit
Car Hire is definitely worth "going in" for as it will give you
the freedom to see the city at your own pace. Usually a person between the age brackets
of 18 to 75 years with a valid license is allowed to drive a private, non-commercial
vehicle in the city. If you like to drive, don't forget to carry your driver's
license. For foreigners, International Driving Permit is compulsory.
Depending on the way you're travelling, there are many types of Detroit car rental services that can make it
convenient for you to move comfortably between hotels, places of interest,
restaurants and airports. Pick from economy vehicles to go for a trip around the
city to full size vehicles for longer inter-city excursions - all at best
prices.
