Detroit Car RentalWe typically think of America’s oldest cities as being on the East Coast, and of course that’s where most of them are, but Detroit has a history that dates all the way back to 1701 when it was founded by Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac (which is where the car company took its name). Over its more than 300 years Detroit has become famous for automobiles and music, which have given the city its two primary nicknames, the Motor City and Motown. If you want the lowest Detroit rental car rates to see everything that Michigan’s biggest city has to offer, then make your Detroit rental car reservations at RentACarNow.com. Music is a big part of the culture of Detroit, as Motown Records brought us superstars like Stevie Wonder, the Temptations and the Four Tops in the 1960s. That tradition of music continued on with local musicians such as Bob Seger, Ted Nugent, Alice Cooper and more recently Kid Rock. If you want a little culture, then be sure to hit the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village, which is the largest indoor-outdoor history museum in the world. You can see everything from the bus on which Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a bed used by George Washington to Abraham Lincoln’s chair from Ford’s Theatre, and of course plenty of historical cars and related memorabilia. Detroit is home to a team in each of the four major professional sports, and all four of the city’s teams have won a championship at least once, highlighted by the Detroit Red Wings winning 11 Stanley Cup titles. The city’s other teams are the Lions (NFL), Tigers (MLB) and Pistons (NBA).
