KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bloomington

  • Bus and rail transport are common in Bloomington. However, relying on these forms of transport to explore unique places in the city can be frustrating due to their fixed schedules. On the other hand, driving car rentals in Bloomington gives you the freedom to visit distant places from the city. With a rental car, you can go to Franconia Sculpture Park, around 49 miles northeast of the city, and Lake Francis, approximately 62 miles southwest of Bloomington.
  • If you land at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP), you can choose a rental car from Bloomington car rentals. Several car rental agencies include Sixt, Thrifty, and Budget. Car rental companies are located in Terminal 1 on the second and third levels near the Blue and Red parking ramps. Others are located in Terminal 2 on the ground level across the terminal building. There is a wide collection of car rentals in Bloomington at the airport for passengers to choose from. In addition, the airport offers free shuttle services 24/7 to connect travelers from the terminals to the car rental offices.
  • Roads in Bloomington are well-marked and in good condition. However, the city can be crowded, making it challenging to drive your rental car. Though jaywalking is illegal in the city, some pedestrians ignore this rule and avoid the designated crossing areas. The city has built a mid-block crossing to guide pedestrians crossing the right. Hence, you should drive carefully to ensure the safety of pedestrians who engage in reckless endangerment.
  • Rush hours in Bloomington mainly occur between 6 am to 9 am and 3 pm to 7 pm on weekdays. Driving car rentals in Bloomington during traffic can be difficult and cause delays. The road most affected by traffic in the city is the I-494. Therefore, avoid driving on this street during the rush hours. Instead, use alternative routes to avoid inconveniences on your trip,

Violating traffic rules could lead to the suspension of your license.

  • Where are the best places to park in Bloomington?

    Parking downtown Bloomington is the best decision because of the proximity to the streets. Most parking lots charge different rates and could limit the parking hours. Therefore, consider the rates, time limit, and permit before parking your rental car. You can park free at 28th Avenue Park & Ride and free for 2 hours at Bloomington Civic Plaza, Sunrise Parking, and the City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department. Park 'N Go Management, LLC charges around $15 for 2 hours. If you park in the parking lots and garages outside the city, you can access the city using a train or bus.

They didnt accept my thomas cook travel card since I'm from India. So I had to put up my personal Indian Credit card and hence I have to pay forex charges additionally. Weirdest part is that they accepted insurance from my travel card and not the car booking. That's lame.
