Top tips for renting a car in Fargo
Fargo may be famous for its prairie landscapes and Midwestern charm, but let’s be honest — this isn’t a city where you want to rely on public transport. Whether you’re weaving through downtown Fargo, setting off on a winter road trip, or navigating the open highways of North Dakota, the right rental vehicle makes all the difference. Before you grab the keys and hit the road, here’s what you need to know about driving in Fargo.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Fargo?
Driving in Fargo, ND, is a tale of two extremes—breezy summer roads where the biggest obstacle is a leisurely tractor on Ave NW, and winter conditions that turn the streets into a frozen obstacle course. Speed limits are standard (25–30 mph in the city, 55–75 mph on highways), but when the roads get icy, slow and steady wins the race. If you’re visiting in colder months, consider renting an SUV with all-wheel drive or a vehicle with snow tires and chains, because Fargo winters don’t mess around.
What is parking like in Fargo?
Finding a spot in Fargo North is about as easy as spotting a flannel shirt at a winter festival — you don't have to look too hard. Downtown Fargo offers plenty of street parking, and if you’re headed to the Fargo Theatre or a lively spot in South Fargo, expect metered spaces that are inexpensive and easy to find. Many locations offer free parking, but always check signage — no one wants to trade their road trip for a tow truck adventure.
Are there toll roads in Fargo?
Toll roads? In North Dakota? Not a chance. This is the land of wide-open highways, where your only real costs are gas, snacks, and resisting the urge to keep driving just to see how far the road takes you. If you’re venturing beyond Fargo ND, the only thing you’ll be paying is attention—to the miles of uninterrupted prairie stretching ahead.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Fargo?
If your rental vehicle runs on fuel, rest easy — gas stations are plentiful, particularly along South Fargo’s major roads and near Hector International Airport. If you opted for an electric ride, EV chargers are available, though you’ll want to plan ahead — this isn’t California, and charging stations aren’t on every corner. The best spots to recharge? Look near hotels, shopping centers, and the city center for reliable charging access.
Do I need to rent a car in Fargo?
Unless you plan to spend your trip confined to a single block of downtown Fargo, you’ll want a rental vehicle. Public transportation exists, but it’s designed for locals, not travelers with places to be. Whether you’re chasing sunsets along the Red River, heading to a business meeting on the next business day, or just enjoying the freedom to explore Fargo and its surroundings at your own pace, having a car is the key to experiencing North Dakota on your own terms.
