As far as the car advice, that has changed somewhat. You can just use Uber / UberX in Detroit now, I live here without a car and it's no problem (I guess Lyft is another options but I haven't tried it). There were extra drivers in the city over Movement weekend this past year and using it worked fine for me. However, be aware--the drivers don't necessarily know where they are going, especially because some drivers might be in town from other locations just over the weekend. It would be wise to look at maps and have some idea where you are going in case your driver gets mixed up. Even with GPS things often get confusing as far as directions.
