KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Minnetonka
- Car rentals in Minnetonka, MN, allow you to travel on your own schedule. You're not limited to public transportation timetables, which allows you to explore at your own pace and visit destinations that might be less accessible by bus or train. In addition, public transportation might not reach every corner of Minnetonka, especially if you're interested in exploring off-the-beaten-path attractions or residential neighborhoods. However, a Minnetonka car rental can easily reach the region’s hidden gems, such as Gale Woods Farm, Minnehaha Creek, and Big Willow Park.
- Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) is the primary airport serving the Twin Cities area, including Minnetonka, which is approximately a 20–30-minute drive away. The facility hosts several car rentals in Minnetonka, including Hertz, Avis, Budget, Enterprise, National, Alamo, and Thrifty. If you are arriving through Terminal 1, follow the signs to the ground transportation center on Level 1. From there, you can board the airport's free light rail transit (LRT) service, which connects directly to the rental car center. The LRT station is in the ground transportation center.
- Minnesota is known for its frequent use of four-way stop intersections. Drivers are expected to take their turn predictably, yielding to the driver who arrived first. This can sometimes lead to a brief pause as drivers signal each other to proceed. Furthermore, when driving a car rental in Minnetonka, remember that Minnesota law requires drivers to yield the right-of-way to pedestrians at crosswalks, even if the crosswalk is not marked. This reflects the region's emphasis on pedestrian safety.

Cons:
The constant up selling was a real letdown. Felt pushy and unprofessional. Even after saying for the forth time that you didn't want a service. Also found it a little odd that the gentlemen was a little apprehensive when I was doing the walk through with my own camera as well.4.0 Mediocre

Pros:
Car was cleanCons:
We were up charged an addition $140 because they said our drop off was a different location than the airport. Then when dropped I realized I left my sunglasses in the console and when I called just a few hours later they where gone. Obviously who ever cleans them needed my $200 sunglasses more than me. We won't use them or kayak again. This was a horrible experience.Avis

As a gift my mother was renting my girlfriend and I a car to see if we might want to purchase the same type of vehicle. Hertz would not allow me to be the driver and allow her to pay for it on her credit card. But we also were allowed to put her as the driver if she was technically never going to be driving the vehicle.NextCar
