I don't know... the missus and I were there last March to get our Nexus passes. The highway wasn't shut at that time, but the exit we needed was

Add to that local road closings, redirections, and poor signs, it's a miracle we found the place. We were almost on the bridge to Canada before I realized that my map didn't match the local conditions.

Will i need both parts of my u.k licence or just the photo bit?? is insurance included in car hire? is sat nav extra charge? also do they take deposit first?

Manc

how old are you?

jakedamuss

33 is that old enough

Manc

yeah mate, under 25 and it's costs a bomb.

Ah on another thought do you think my u.k car insurance cover me to drive another persons car, that way i probably wont need to hire??

Manc

in Michigan, you would be covered under their insurance to drive their car.

you're British insurance won't help.

but you would be covered under the owner of the car so long as they have insurance.

jakedamuss

so if i would be covered if i drive someone elses car as long as they have insurance is??

Manc

yes,

in michigan, it's the car that is insured.

they don't do the named driver thing.

so as long as you have permission to drive, you're covered.

That is good to know... i wondered how that would work. My sister and her boyfriend may come visit me. I have a second car available for them to use I wasn't sure if I would have to get extra insurance with him not having a MI license.

EXCELLENT that save a bit of money on not hiring thanx Manc for some great info..

If you want to play it really safe my parents asked my insurance agent to give them a letter stating that they were insured to drive our cars while visiting...a bit OTT IMO but you know what oldies are like

Manc

that's what you pay him for.
