Minnesota car rentals

With dozens of breathtaking views, scenic byways, and hundreds of roadside stops and abundant wildlife, a Minnesota car rental makes perfect sense. If you’re looking to travel around the state at your own pace and convenience, you’re better off renting a car for your Minnesota trip. Public transportation systems tend to be quite unreliable, especially if you plan on visiting the rural areas. Car rental is also an excellent option for those looking for an intimate experience while they visit the state.

Driving in Minnesota can be hard, especially during the winter months. In addition to the basic safe driving habits, it’s important to buckle up, avoid alcohol or substance use while driving, and observe the speed limits. Before you leave the dealer, ensure that the car you have rented is in good shape and has fully functioning battery, breaks, headlights, windshield wipers, and cooling system. Always keep an eye on the weather. Avoid driving alone in severe weather, and be sure to find out if your rented car is equipped with an emergency survival kit.

Like in all the other states in the USA, you must be at least twenty one years old to rent a car in Minnesota. Additionally, it’s important to note that some car-rental companies will require you to pay a surcharge (or additional fee) to rent a car if you’re under twenty five years old. Be sure to read the company’s terms and conditions on any surcharges when you make your reservation. Finally, you will be required to provide proof of insurance, a valid driver’s license, and possibly other forms of identification when renting a car in Minnesota.
