Minneapolis favorites

A trip to the Land of 10,000 Lakes without a few aquatic adventures would be incomplete! Book your Minneapolis car rental alternative on Turo to meander into nature with all your gear.
It’s an outrageously pretty four-hour journey in your Minneapolis car rental alternative to this collection of lakes, streams, and forests that, as the name suggests, are perfect for canoe and camping trips.
This popular day trip is just an hour out of town in your Minneapolis car rental. Relax at the St. Croix River, take a scenic cruise, or hike through Interstate Park’s ancient lava flows.
While there’s plenty of rivalry with Wisconsin, Milwaukee offers a different take on some of the best parts of Minneapolis: great music, tasty cuisine, beautiful parks, fascinating museums.
Brian was great and communicated well! would definitely rent a car from Brian again.
Ryan is a wonderful host, he made my first time renting through Turo such a smooth and fun process. The Tesla Model 3 is by far the best car I’ve ever driven, perfect for road trips by the way. Couldn’t have asked for anything more on this trip!
This was a perfect trip. Arlan was a great host, understanding and attentive. Car drives smooth and easy and gas mileage excellent.
Very good car. Took it on a good trip for a few days. Went great and Amir was very easy to work with. 5 stars!!!!
Hasan was an amazing host to work with and his car is absolutely beautiful. He made the trip very smooth for me and also accommodated the trip extensions I had to make with no issues. Would book again in a heartbeat !
He was very quick to respond and pickup/deliver the car. Way faster and cheaper than any car rental service out there!
Amir is the BEST! I arrived in a blizzard and the city of Minneapolis was shut down. He struggled through the snow to pick me up at the airport and drop me off at a hotel. He is incredibly responsive and his customer is stellar. On a scale from 1-10, Amir is a 12! Rent from him! He will always be smiling, regardless of the circumstance.
First time user here and it was a phenomenal! Would 1000% recommend - Jordan made this a breeze and the car was amazing! Will def use again
Very easy and convenient . The car worked great and I am very pleased with the experience.
Daniel is sharp, professional and easy to work with. The car is super clean. Would definitely ride again!
This is my 3rd rental with Amir and its very easy going. The car: clean, cheap, simple, to the point. If you need something to get around town thats great on gas, then this is perfect for you. It may be old or basic, but it gets the job done. The process: Simple. Amir is flexible with times. I needed to pick it up earlier than the time I requested and he worked with me. The pickup: Easy and sweet. He’ll give you directions on how to obtain the car with no hassle.
Great guy great vehicle I’ll definitely rent with him again. In fact I’m panning on renting from him on my next visit
Riece was great and was very accommodating for pickups and drop-offs. The lockbox made it easy. Great car!
Edward was a great, friendly and accommodating host. Really easy going and made everything simple. The car was a smooth ride and efficient even in snow! Definitely a good host I would recommend!
Car worked out great. From good communication, easy pick up, easy return & commuting around town. Car ran as a basic Ford Focus, non-temperamental. Overall was a good experience. Thank you.
Easiest car rental ever. A wonderful car to drive, very comfortable and Rolf made sure everything was perfect!
Amir made using this app for the first time totally stress free. I'd say this was easier than going to a car rental desk.
Very straightforward experience. Definitely what you hope for when you go to rent a car.
Very clean. Dependable. So unbelievably flexible. Last minute party fell in my lap and was in charge of running errands lockups drop odds last minute crazy train and he was very quick to answer back thank goodness. Friendly!!
Brian was great, process went smooth in and out. Vehicle drove smooth with no issues. Thanks.
Freddy was very cooperative & helpful throughout my whole experience with Turo ! The car was nice & clean rode excellent didn’t have any problems would highly recommend renting cars from Freddy !
The car was about what we expected for the price. Solid value and easier than the rental companies. Amir met us right at the airport dropoff area for pickup and dropoff which was super convenient. We saved some money and it was easier than expected, I'd definitely do it again.
Laura is absolutely easy to work with. On time drop off and pick up. Thank you for making it a breezy. Definitely renting again when we are in Minneapolis again.
AMIR IS AN AMAZINGLY PATIENT MAN!! HE WAS SO INDERSTANDING OF OUR MESSED UP SITUATION AND HAVING TO EXTEND OUR TRIP SEVERAL TIMES. HE MADE A DIFFICULT SITUATION ALOT EASIER FOR US. THANK YOU AMIR AND WE WOULD DEFINITLY RECOMMEND HIM AND HIS CARS. OUR CAR WAS CLEAN, DROVE NICE AND HAD ZERO PROBLEMS. THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE...
outstanding experience! Laura was a great host her communication was great throughout and the vehicle was clean and wonderful to drive ☺️
Amir was an amazing and professional introduction to Turo for me. He made the process as smooth as possible. Highly recommend him and his services.
Arlan is always a gracious and accommodating host. As long as I rent from Turo, his car will be in the top 2 of my selection. Thanks Arlan & Turo for always providing me a great car rental experience! Alecia N.
Rebecca provides a great value for Turo! She is a great personality which compliments her car rental experience. Her car functions flawless and barely sips fuel. Since it is also front wheel drive it powers through the toughest weather Minnesota can through at it. YOU WILL BE A SATISFIED CUSTOMER TOO!
Amir's the best, easy to connect with, flexible, and great, reliable cars! Always a good choice for a car when I'm in and around Minneapolis.
Great car. AWD is a must in Minnesota! Ali was very pleasant to work with and would definitely rent from him again.
Amir is great! So helpful, accommodating, and flexible - even on a last-minute rental.
Great and fun car to drive! AWD traction perfect for Minnesota winter roads. Hope to rent this car again.
Amir was exceptional. Both my flights were delayed and he was extremely understanding and went out of his way to accommodate me. The car was exactly as described. I will definitely be renting again from him. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
My first time using Turo and it was a pleasant experience! Victor was very nice, the car ran smoothly the entire week and it was great on gas. I would certainly rent again 😊
This was my 1st Turo rental and not only was the car just perfect for my needs, but Nathan was very responsive when I had questions...and I had a lot! He made it super easy and the trip went off without a hitch. I'll definitely do this again!
Greg is the best! This is the 2nd time I’ve used his car when mine has been in the shop for repairs. The car is SO clean and so fun to drive, and Greg is a chill and responsible owner who is so easy to work with. I won’t even consider other cars or options should I ever need a rental in the future. Thanks a ton Greg!!
Simply the best on Turo!!! So detailed and kind! He gave me all the information I needed to have an enjoyable trip And he allowed me to extend the vehicle rental! Pavel is not just a great host but a great person, I highly recommend him! Thank you so much!!
Great guy to rent from. Car ran just fine and I would absolutely recommend renting from Amir.
Transaction of the vehicle was smooth and stress free. Nathan was very quick about responding throughout the whole trip and accommodating. I will definitely be renting from him again.
Very easy to work with! Booked last minute & still received fast replies and helped to the rental right away and efficiently!
This was a wonderful experience and Rohit made everything very easy to understand, from the car itself to how we should tackle the trip. Thanks again!
Had a very delightful ride in the Panamera during my weekend in MN. Nothing compares to them in my books! Nathan was easy to work with on the rental and worked with a last minute schedule change as well.
Super clean and nice car. Daniel is very accommodating and extremely responsive. 10/10 will rent again.
Chuddy is my 3rd and perfect rental from Turo! I love this car rental service! It really gives the big name rental companies a run for their money. Chuddy was an exceptional host...he was kind, respectful, empathetic, sympathetic, extremely flexible, and helpful beyond belief! The car was so clean, I didn’t want to leave a drop of dirt in it. I will definitely be re-renting from Chuddy if he allows me to.
What an awesome host; Kyle was more than helpful and willing, and patient enough to teach this first time E-car user! He provided tons of good tips and pointers on charging stations while traveling long distances. Additionally, he gave good advice when, to my own detriment, I didn’t initially follow his sound instruction. He and his wife were wonderfully flexible, helpful and just generally interesting and friendly people. Now I feel like I have friends in the car rental business! It was a win-win situation all around on my end!
Renting the car from Amir was a breeze. Amir made pickup and drop-off at the airport very easy. The car was in good shape and got us around Minneapolis for 5 days. Highly recommend if needing a car to get around the city!
Very easy and convenient to rent Julia’s car. She was always communicative, accommodating, and added a dose of local flare. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Minneapolis!
This was our first time using Turo. I have to say that Victor has set the bar very high for subsequent rentals! He was friendly, accommodating, and made the whole process painless and stress-free. THANK YOU VICTOR!! We’ll be using Victor again when we back to Minneapolis to visit family.
Second time renting from Nathan and he’s a 5 star host. Responds within minutes to any concerns and takes care of his guests. Love renting from him when I’m home in Minneapolis.
Edward is great to work with! Second time I’ve rented his car and I will continue to do so as long as it’s available every time I return to Minneapolis.
Julia was an exceptional Turo host! Kind, responsive, and her car has the Latch system for car seats which is exactly what we needed! The car has awesome mileage, a good sound system and a smooth ride. If we are in Minneapolis again we will definitely rent from her!
Jonathan was a great host. He was flexible with timing and was quick to respond to messages. The slingshot was a fun rental, would definitely recommend. Pickup and drop off were a breeze, as was the parking he offered for your car.
Always a good trip with Amir. I also like the fact he has a fleet of good, clean, cars available.
I have had all around great experiences with Amir's cars and his communication. I've rented from him several times and I will certainly rent from him again. Thank you for the kind and convenient service!
Reliable and dependable car. Amir returns messages quickly. No deposits you pay for renting from large rental companies. Location is easy to get to by public transport
Amir is incredible, flexible, and very professional. Would absolutely rent from him again. Thank you a ton and for providing a good vehicle for my first time in the city!
Great trip, and an unbelievable host experience for my first time using this service. Don’t hesitate if you’re thinking about booking through Nathan!
Edward was on time and was easy to communicate with. Would rent from him again in the future.
Easy pick up and drop off. I needed to extend trip a day and he accommodated me. Very nice gentleman! Thanks, Amir!
Great car. Clean. Easy check in and check out process. Thorough walk through tutorial before ride.
Lou was a great host that made our trip go smoothly. We’d definitely recommend him and his vehicle.
Noah was very professional, on time, helpful, and the vehicle worked very well for me for the week I had it. Noah was very eager to help work out my trip change as well and I appreciate his great communication.
This actually was my first time going thru Turo and when I say Mr. Waris was a great person to meet and do business with, I highly recommend any person in Minneapolis to rent from him. He did everything he could to make sure I was comfortable and everything was smooth even gave me tips on great places to visit He is the best.
Homer's Toyota Corolla was perfect for my 13 day trip back home. The car drives smooth and it was nice and clean when I picked it up. Homer was great at communicating and responds in a timely manner. The only negative was my experience with Turo. I wanted to extend my trip but there was a technical error keeping me from doing so through the app. After waiting on hold for a Turo representative for about 30 minutes, I finally got through. Homer was even helpful through this process with Turo. I highly recommend this rental. Thank you Homer for allowing me to spend time with my family!
Kaylah is wonderful and accommodating beyond expectations. Thank you so much. Car was great gas mileage is great. Much cheaper than renting from a company!
Sweet and understanding host with awesome car in really good condition. Location to pick up is between the airport and downtown Minneapolis. Awesome experience!
