Detroit is the largest city in the U.S. state of Michigan and the seat of Wayne County. Detroit is a major port city on the Detroit River, in the Midwest region of the United States. Located north of Windsor, Ontario, Detroit is the only major U.S. city that looks south to Canada. It was founded in 1701 by the Frenchman Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac. It is known as the world's traditional automotive center — "Detroit" is a metonym for the American automobile industry — and an important source of popular music, legacies celebrated by the city's two familiar nicknames, The Motor City and Motown. In 2007, Detroit ranked as the United States' eleventh most populous city, with 916,952 residents. At its peak, the city was the fourth largest in the country, but since 1950 the city has seen a major shift in its population to the suburbs. The name Detroit sometimes refers to the Metro Detroit area, a sprawling region with a population of 4,467,592 for the Metropolitan Statistical Area, making it the nation's eleventh-largest, and a population of 5,405,918 for the nine-county Combined Statistical Area as of the 2007 Census Bureau estimates. The Detroit-Windsor area, a critical commercial link straddling the Canada-U.S. border, has a total population of about 5,700,000.

Auto Rental

An auto rental, rent-an-auto or auto hire agency is a company that rents automobiles for short periods of time (ranging from a few hours to a few weeks) for a fee. It is an elaborate form of a rental shop, organized in numerous local branches, primarily located near airports or busy city areas and often complemented by a website allowing online reservations. There are also third party websites (such as online travel agencies) which compare quotes from the major auto rental agencies. auto rental agencies primarily serve people who have a auto that is temporarily out of reach or out of service, for example travelers who are out of town or owners of damaged or destroyed vehicles who are awaiting repair or insurance compensation. Because of the variety of sizes of their vehicles, auto rental agencies may also serve the self-moving industry needs, by renting vans or trucks.

Auto rentals are subject to many conditions which vary from one brand to another. The vehicle must be returned in a good condition and must not exceed a maximum driven distance, otherwise extra fees may be incurred. Additionally, some companies set a minimum age for the vehicle driver, which in some cases is as high as 25, even in countries where the minimum legal age to hold a driver's license is much lower. Recent conditions have utilized GPS technology to limit maximum speeds or driving to specific regions. Renewable fuel vehicles are available in certain areas.

The vast majority of auto rental companies require the use of a Credit card to make it easier for them to trace a person after they have stolen a auto, or to charge additional fees at will if a defect is later found with the auto. There are two major types of auto hire companies. The first group of companies own their own autos (known as a fleet) and may have agreements with auto manufacturers to provide all the autos for that fleet. An example of this type of company would be Alamo or Europacar. The other type of auto hire company operate on a broker model and have commercial agreements with auto hire companies to provide access to their fleets of autos. To allow for a uniform classification and easy comparison of auto rental prices, the Association of auto Rental Industry Systems and Standards has developed the ACRISS_auto_Classification_Code coding system. This describes the size, dour count, gearbox type (manual/automatic) and whether the auto is air-conditioned in a short code.
