KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Minot

  • There are several advantages of renting a car in Minot. First, you don’t have to carry your luggage around. You can visit several places, unlike public transport, which only stops at bus or train stations. If you have a rental car, you can drive to watch aircraft exhibit at Dakota Territory Air Museum, 3 miles from Minot city center. Fort Stevenson State Park is about 30 miles north of Minot, so if you love outdoor activities such as hiking and biking, you can get there using a vehicle.
  • You should be at least 21 years old and have a valid driving license before getting a vehicle from Minot car rentals at the airport. If you need car rentals in Minot, you can find car rental desks inside Terminal 1 of Minot International Airport. However, the airport doesn’t offer shuttle services if you need to get to the car rental offices. However, it’s a walkable distance, especially if you don’t have a heavy piece of luggage.
  • When driving in Minot, it’s better to stick in highways because they’re better than other roads in the city. Again, beware of the pedestrian crossing in various crosswalks in the streets. Apart from ramps, there are several features that help you ensure passenger safety when driving. For example, crosswalks with sound help you to know that a person is crossing the road.
  • It could be difficult to drive during rush hours, especially during weekdays in the mornings and evenings. 16th Street in Minot is the most affected, hence, you should expect delays if driving on this road. Driving during winter is more difficult because most roads are snow-covered and slippery. Again, it can affect braking especially if the car’s wheels have reduced traction with the surface. In addition, you should be careful especially when driving at night because of poor vision despite the traffic lights.

Pros:

clean, excellent mileage.

Cons:

drop off at the Minot airport is in a unmarked rental lot. no attendant to check in vehicle. you then walk to the counter which is at the other end of the airport. the counter was unmanned and we had to call the attendant who was out moving vehicles. this was @ 11AM the male attendant shows up a few minutes later wearing a baseball cap (i'm not making this up) that says 'don't ask me sh*t' not exactly appropriate.

Pros:

Good staff at both ends.

Cons:

Vehicle could've been vacuumed better. Crud between door and seat. Also dont like their fuel policy where if you're at 5/8, then you bring it back like that. What if I fill it and the dont drive enough to get down to the same level. In that case I'm giving them free fuel

Despite choosing a rental offer that was listed as having a counter at the airport, the reservation completed at the other location across town. The reservation was not movable and they would not arrange a shuttle. Ended up having to take a ride-share to the other location to pick up the car.

Pros:

Pick up / drop off was easy. Staff was nice. Issue: I booked an SUV and when I went to pick it up was told no SUV’s available and the only vehicle I could take was a RWD Frontier. Used it for a 12 hour drive through the mountains in terrible conditions. Made it safe, but certainly wasn’t the plan.

Cons:

All season tires on a RWD truck in ND winter isn’t practical and is dangerous. Don’t advertise an SUV and not provide an SUV. Still cost $140 which I don’t think was fair.

Pros:

The location in the airport. Minot, North Dakota

Cons:

There was a mistake made during the payment process which I can understand sometimes that happens, however the mistake was so severe that it impacted my credit score. When I was able to check my chase credit card account the mistake was over 500.00 dollars. What had happened was they confused me with another person with the same last name so I assume that I paid for his or her rental as well. This will be a learning experience for me and hopefully Alamo.
