Windsor is famously located just south of Detroit, across the Detroit River, and the two cities are connected by the Ambassador Bridge and the Detroit-Windsor Tunnel. Crossing the border for work, shopping or family is a normal part of life for many residents, and it is one of the reasons driving is so central to the city.
The auto industry has shaped Windsor for more than a century. Assembly plants, parts suppliers, tool-and-die shops and mould makers still employ a large part of the workforce, and many of those jobs run on shifts. Add the University of Windsor, St. Clair College, health care and a growing logistics sector, and you have a city where plenty of people need a dependable way to get to work at all hours. Highway 401 begins here, the E.C. Row Expressway crosses the city from east to west, and Transit Windsor serves the core, but surrounding communities such as Tecumseh, LaSalle and Amherstburg rely heavily on cars.
Winters in Windsor are generally milder than in much of Ontario, but that can be misleading. Freezing rain, slush and quick temperature swings are common, so winter tires still make sense for most drivers. Heading east on the 401 toward Chatham and London in winter can also mean running into heavier snow along the way.

The questions Windsor drivers ask us most.
Yes. Our lending partners across Ontario work with every credit situation — bad credit, no credit, bankruptcy and consumer proposals. You can check your options online without affecting your credit score.
Pre-qualifying online takes under two minutes. Once you're matched with a lending partner, many Windsor applicants get a response quickly — often the same day, depending on the lender and the documents you provide.
Not always. It depends on the lender and your situation — some approvals require a down payment and some don't. Pre-qualifying is the fastest way to see what applies to you.
No. Getting pre-qualified through Fast Car Loans Canada does not affect your credit score. A formal credit check only happens later, with your consent, if you choose to move forward with a lender.
Our lending partners serve Windsor and nearby communities such as LaSalle, Tecumseh, Amherstburg and Leamington, along with the rest of Ontario.
It may be possible. Lenders mostly focus on steady, verifiable income, so clear documentation matters: recent pay stubs, an employment letter and bank statements showing regular deposits. Requirements vary from one lender to another, and pre-qualifying is a quick way to see whether we can match you with a lending partner.
They are still a good idea. Windsor may see less snow than other Ontario cities, but freezing rain, slush and cold mornings are common, and all-season tires lose grip as temperatures drop. Winter tires can also help on trips up the 401 toward London, where snow squalls are more frequent.
