KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Minneapolis

  • Car rentals in Minneapolis give you the freedom to explore attractions in the city at your convenience. Take a 15-minute drive from Minneapolis Airport to the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Head to the Mall of America in the South Loop District by driving about 10 minutes south from MSP. The best way to access some attractions outside the city is by cheap car rentals in Minneapolis. The Red Wing is about 55 miles southeast, with the drive taking roughly 1h 30min. The drive from Minneapolis to Alexandria, one of the most toured cities in Minnesota, takes about 2 hours. Cheap car rentals in Minneapolis take just under 4h from Minneapolis to Apostle Islands in Wisconsin, about 235 miles away.
  • Customize Minneapolis car rentals to your needs by adding several options like roadside coverage, GPS, child booster seats, or an additional driver. Car rental companies in Minneapolis give these rental options at an affordable rate to help renters personalize their rentals. Additional drivers cost around $15 a day. Add a GPS to your rental to help you navigate the major roads and interstates in Minneapolis like I-35, I-94, and I-494. As a driving law, all children under six should be secured to an appropriate booster. Add a booster to your rental package if you’re traveling with your kids to avoid breaking the law.
  • Downtown Minneapolis is approximately 12 miles from MSP, with the drive taking around 20 minutes. It could take longer during rush hour. Exit the MSP car rental center, join MN-5 W road and head south. Merge onto I-494 and take exit 2B to join MN-77. Continue for about five miles on Cedar Avenue before turning onto Hiawatha Avenue. Continue on Hiawatha Avenue for a few minutes, then join the slip road towards 3rd Street. This road will lead you to downtown, past the U.S Bank Stadium.
  • Rent a car at the Minneapolis airport upon your arrival to get to your destination fast. It only takes a 20-minute drive into the city center and you can explore one of the “Twin Cities” of Minnesota at your own pace. If you want to explore surrounding areas like the Fort Snelling State Park, which is about 10 miles from the city center, or St. Paul, Minnesota’s capital, a rental car will get you out and about most efficiently.
  • Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has various car rental companies at your disposal. Travelers arriving at Terminal 1 Lindbergh should proceed to the second or third levels for car rental service desks. If landing at Terminal 2 Humphrey, go to the ground floor, where you will find the Ground Transport Center. Both terminals feature the same companies, including Hertz, National, and Avis.
  • Congestion and traffic jams are a regular issue in Minneapolis, especially during peak times (around 7-9 AM and 4-7 PM). To ease the congestion a little, traffic control agents are in place and it is pivotal to follow their orders and to only cross an intersection if you can make it all the way across without blocking the road. Also note that many streets in Minneapolis are one way, so be careful and watch out for the signs to avoid going in the wrong direction.
  • Winters in Minnesota can bring lots of snow, sleet, and ice, so be aware of that when traveling to Minneapolis during the colder months. The city is also known to be best equipped for dire weather conditions, but streets can still become narrower due to snow ploughs pushing the snow to both sides. At intersections, it may also be harder to see other vehicles around the corner when the snow is piled high, so proceed with caution at intersections.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Minneapolis for C$ 64 or less
  • Book your rental car in Minneapolis at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate rental cars in Minneapolis are around -44% cheaper than other car types, on average

Hey, seems to be the best place to rent in theMinneapolis area. I’ve always found that they have the best prices in the best cars and are very easy to work with.
Verified travelerNov. 2023
Make sure to have your navigation set up before you drive. There’s lots of construction in the metro area. (Still!) Speed limits are “minimum” 40 up to 60 on average on the freeway around MSP so be mindful of that, esp in f your used to driving in Phoenix or So Cal.
Verified travelerOct. 2023
Plan ahead to know where you are picking up the vehicle at the airport, since there are several options and it’s confusing.

We booked through Kayak and accidently booked the car in our home town in Minneapolis. I was unable to get a refund from Kayak so I tried to get a refund from SIXT. Even thought the mistake was discovered minutes after the reservation was made I had to pay for 3 days of the rental just to cancel. Probably wont use Kayak or SIXT again. Should have been an easy correction from Kayak or SIXT instead cost me $145.00 for nothing. Booked my rental car through Hertz

Cons:

The line at the airport rental desk was 20 people deep. we waited 15 minutes and no one in line moved. perhaps there was some trouble, but we did not see anyone leave the desk to get their rental car. there were 3 agents at the desk. we decided that it would be better to get a lLyft to take us from the airport to our destination, 40 miles away. The cost of the Lyft from and back to the airport was less than the cost of the rental car. There was no way to modify or change the rental, so I lost $145. Next time we will just use Lyft.

Extremely disappointing. Not very clear about picking up since there were three different areas at the airport to choose from. The agent at the first counter was rude and not helpful, and the other counter had a long line. It added a lot of additional time to go to a different area of the airport where the car actually was. The car pick up took about an additional hour. It was extremely frustrating to get ridiculous charges on the backend. The car was paid for, but additional fees were added on. Tax, auto facility charge, concession fee recovery etc. added it up to an additional $120! To me, this is padding. These charges should have been clear upfront. It was really infuriating. Definitely a deceptive practice to lure the consumer into thinking the fee they paid was the final price.

This was in the area where the vehicles were at the airport. The key fob needed a new battery. I was told to go get one and we will be reimbursed or I could pick a different vehicle. So I went to the counter to ask a question and because I wasn't a Gold Member, they turned around and walked away. So I got into the same vehicle and drove out. On our trip we had to find a store to replace the battery. Not a fan at all. Bringing the vehicle back, I couldn't get my money back, I had to get it back thru a voucher when we rent next time. Not a fan!!!!

The price is more competitive than others, but ...after we picked up the vehicle, we found The gas is only half filled, that is OK The tire warning sign was on, we checked with service desk, we were told that it was cold temperature and will be gone when warmed up, it it stayed on for all 10-day trip, luckily we checked the tire pressure and it was OK. After 1 day of driving, the engine coolant light was on, we had to stop at a gas station and found coolant level was below LOW limit. So we bought a jug of coolant and added to full line. The windshield wiper fluid was low and the wiper had grinding noise when used, we had to manually control to wipe only 1-2 times and turned it off. Luckily we finished our trip safely, last year they charged us $450 for lost item after return and we did not even know what was missing, no sure what to happen this time. Probably not to use Hertz next time.

As soon as we landed, I received a text with instructions on what to do next. We jumped on the shuttle and got our car. We didn’t have any kind of what or any issues. When we returned the car, it was the same. No waiting and a quick shuttle ride back to the airport. It was 2 adults and 4 kids and 7 suitcases and 6 backpacks. We got a brand new Chrysler Pacifica van, that had 1000 miles on it. Very nice car that fit all of us and our luggage. It was great all around, renting from Ace.

It was cold in Minnesota and when I turned the heat on the windows would cloud up. I had to continuously turn on the rear and front window heaters which would then shut off the heat. But it was alright, I did not freeze but it could have been a little more comfortable. I would rent from them again.

7.9 Good

Jun. 2021

KAYAK
Pro: The rental staff was very friendly and efficient. I was thankful they staff member was there an hour after the office closed as I didn't see anywhere on my reservation that the office closed at 5:00 PM on weekdays and I arrived about 5:30-5:45. I also discovered that if I missed picking it up that day, I would loose the rental sale price. Did I say the checkout staff was very kind and efficient? Con: see above. Please include information on the reservation details (hours) and what happens if your flight is delayed or rescheduled. Please include a copy of any prior noted damage when the car is picked up. I took pictures but was not sure the company was aware of prior damage until I returned the car. Since the office was closed right after I received the keys, I could only take pictures and hope for the best. I called about how to get to the offsite AVIS office and was told I could take a lightrail and walk two blocks. I got a ride and saw it was way more than two blocks and through an area that I was told was not safe. After returning the car to the offsite office, we took an Uber back to the airport (15 minutes).

Pros:

Upgrade in car. Friendly staff.

Cons:

Car was not fully clean. Maybe because it was an upgrade and had just been turned in? Guy cleaning cars was working real hard in heat.

Pros:

What you pay for is what you get. I was worried that at the end of my trip they were going to charge extra on miles or come up with something but not at all. Picked up the car with no problems and dropped off took 5 minutes. Will definitely use again!

Nothing, it wasn't at the airport, so I didn't rent from budget.

6.0 Okay

Oct. 2023

KAYAK
It was hard to find both pick up and drop off locations. The air conditioning did not work. The temperatures were in the 90s and my phone kept overheating so I lost my map. When I stopped for the day, I called Budget. They would bring me a new vehicle but I would have to pay to have the current one towed even though someone would be there with the new vehicle. I was in a dangerous position and they were not helpful.

The car didn’t have AC. Also the website must have switched locations. I had to leave the airport to pick up my car-very inconvenient.

Pros:

I was able to drop the car off at the airport.

Cons:

When communicating by phone I would have liked to talk to someone in Minneapolis or at least the US not someone out of the country. I would have liked to pick up my car at the airport or at least provided with a free shuttle to downtown Minneapolis.
