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.

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.
