How far is it driving to Detroit from Canada?

I just moved to Detroit and I didn’t realize how close we are to Canada up here. I can see Windsor across the river! How far would it be to drive back home to Detroit from Canada?

Welcome to your new home in Detroit—glad to see you’ve noticed
Michigan
’s close Canadian neighbors, too! The driving distances from Canada to
Detroit
 are smaller than some people would think. Here’s how far some common trips from Ontario are:
  • Windsor to Detroit—2.3 miles (3.7 km), 10 minutes
  • Toronto to Detroit—231 miles (372 km), about 4.5 hours
  • Niagara Falls (CAN) to Detroit—237 miles (381 km), about 4 hours
If you’ve got a passport or enhanced driver’s license, you can easily cross the river for an international drive if you so choose. Fortunately, you don’t need to worry about your American car insurance policy not covering you in Canada, either. Thanks to reciprocal international laws, both Canada and the United States recognize each other’s car insurance policies.
So whether you plan on frequenting Ontario or you just want to look at it from the streets of Detroit, you’ll want to make sure your car is well-insured—and
