Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to Detroit?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what activities you want to do in Detroit. Economy or compact vehicles are good for short commutes and are easier to park. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a sedan or SUV is going to have more room and be a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Detroit getaway can choose a higher-end model like an Audi A4 or Cadillac XTS or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in the United States?

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Budget?

We advise a full to full policy. You pick up your Budget rental with the needle at "F".

For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a filling station before you bring it back to Budget.

Detroit has over half a million people, so there should be plenty to do. Unlimited miles allow you to see what else Michigan has to offer worry free.
