Recent reviews
It was my first time using Turo, my experience was top, there was a huge even in Minnesota and most car rental places for sold out, it was so hard to find last minute deals. I was skeptical at first to use Turo, but then I found Rent Go LLc and read some great reviews so I took a chance, I’m really happy I did because things went very smooth. Everything from pickup, communication and returning was excellent. Totally recommend
Best folks to rent from! Smooth pickup and drop off and great communication and flexibility. Thanks!
I would definitely rent this car again ! Very clean and smooth driving I definitely loved it and makes me want to trade my car in for Honda ! Great host and east check in and all and check out .
The host was absolutely amazing! They left me a snack and a gift card in the car at the beginning of the trip. They responded quickly and let me return the car a day early, as my trip ended earlier than I anticipated. The car worked perfect, and the gas mileage was excellent. I would recommended this car and host to everyone, and if I’m ever back in the area I would rent a car from them again!
Car was very clean, host delivered vehicle on time, picked up vehicle on time. Vehicle was amazing and well kept. We will be using Carlos again... Highly recommended Carlos.
Really easy pick up and drop off ! Ive rented this car 2 times now, drives well and will be renting again.
This is a car you'd likely enjoy and want to test drive; it's fantastic, and the owner is friendly.😊
William’s car was amazing and everything from his communication to pick up and drop off was a breeze. Next time I’m in Minneapolis, you’ll definitely be hearing from me again!!
Car was clean, well maintained, and super fun to drive. Good communication from host.
Host was awesome! Very accommodating and responsive. I requested an early drop off and it was not an issue. Car had been in an accident and didn’t look like photo. It was really clean but had smoke smell.
For being 12 years old, this car is well maintained and the pick up/drop off process was very easy and clear. Great gas mileage in the city as well.
Car was solid and clean and the owner communicated well to make it easy for pickup and drop off.
The car was clean, well-maintained, and fun to drive. Pickup and return was easy with clear instructions provided. I would recommend this host.

Rent a car for a month in Minneapolis — or three months, or six. Choose the duration that matches your situation. No long-term contracts, no buyout penalties, no pressure to commit before you're ready.
100% digital experience
Browse Minneapolis's selection of monthly rentals, book your car, and manage every detail from the Turo app. No dealership visits, no counter lines, no fax machines. Adjust your booking or extend your trip — all from your phone.

Who is monthly car rental in Minneapolis for?
Just relocated to Minneapolis
You've landed a new role at Target HQ downtown, UnitedHealth Group, or Medtronic — and you're still figuring out whether you'll live in the North Loop or out near Edina. A monthly rental gives you reliable transportation from your first day, without the pressure of buying a car before you even know your commute. Drive month to month while you settle in, then decide what makes sense long term.
Lease just ended — or just sold your car
You're between cars and not in a rush to commit. Maybe you're waiting for the right deal, or maybe you're rethinking whether you even need to own. An extended car rental in Minneapolis bridges the gap on your terms — drive what you need now and extend if you need more time. No one's pressuring you to sign anything at a dealership.
Extended work assignment or traveling professional
Traveling nurses rotating through Minneapolis health systems, contractors on a six-month build, summer interns getting started — you need a car for a defined stretch, not forever. Monthly rental pricing on Turo is far more competitive than booking week by week, and you can rent a car for a month in Minneapolis (or several months) without the overhead of a short-term rate.
Post-college or first car
You just graduated from the University of Minnesota and you're entering the workforce with a tight budget, limited credit history, and no clear picture of where the next year takes you. Buying a used car means down payments, loan applications, and repair bills you can't predict. A monthly rental puts you behind the wheel of a reliable car ownership alternative today — no loan, no credit check, no long-term financial commitment.
Pickup locations for monthly car rental in Minneapolis
Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP)
If you're arriving in Minneapolis for an extended stay — a work assignment, relocation, or multi-month visit — you can pick up your monthly rental right at MSP. Turo has a delivery permit at the airport, with pickup available at the Red Parking Ramp, Level 6, Terminal 1. It's a convenient starting point before you've sorted out a permanent address.
North Loop
The North Loop (also known as the Warehouse District) is home to converted lofts, a growing startup scene, and the Minneapolis Farmers Market. If you live or work in this pocket of downtown, a monthly rental means you're not relying solely on transit — especially for weekend errands, grocery runs outside the neighborhood, or commutes to offices in the western suburbs along I-394.
Uptown
Uptown is dense, walkable, and popular with younger renters — close to the Chain of Lakes and well-connected by bus. But a car extends your range significantly, whether that's a commute to an office park in Bloomington or a weekend trip to a state park. Monthly rental makes sense here because you might not need a car every single day, but you definitely need access to one.

Top tips for monthly car rental in Minneapolis
Minneapolis has its own rhythm — from lake-season traffic to winter driving conditions — and a few things are worth knowing before you book a monthly rental here.
Finding the best deal
Use the duration filter in the Turo app and look for listings with 30+ day discounts — that's where the deepest savings live. Browse by price range to compare options quickly, and book in advance when you can. Many listings also offer reduced rates on three-day and seven-day bookings.
How to pick a car
Think about your daily routine. If you're commuting on I-35W or I-394, fuel efficiency matters. For Minnesota winters, AWD is worth considering. Reliable everyday vehicles — sedans, compact SUVs, and hatchbacks from Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, or Kia — tend to offer the best balance of comfort, efficiency, and monthly value.
Road rules and conditions in Minneapolis
Minneapolis is built on a grid downtown, with major commute corridors along I-94, I-35W, and I-394 connecting the city to its suburbs. Winter driving is a reality from November through March — snow, ice, and sub-zero temperatures are standard. If you're new to the area, give yourself extra time and distance during cold months.
Parking in Minneapolis
Downtown monthly parking runs $150 to $300 or more per month, depending on the garage. Many neighborhoods require residential parking permits, so check the rules for your area before you park on the street long term. If you're renting in Uptown or the North Loop, factor monthly parking into your overall budget alongside the rental itself.
Toll roads in Minneapolis
Minnesota has no toll roads — one less thing to think about as a monthly renter. You will see E-ZPass express lanes on I-35W and I-394, but those are optional. You can always use the general-purpose lanes at no cost.
Gas and EV charging in Minneapolis
Gas stations are easy to find throughout the Minneapolis metro area. If you're renting an EV, charging stations are available at locations including the Mall of America, along Minnehaha Avenue, and across several suburban spots. Filter for electric vehicles in the Turo app to see which listings include charging details.
Types of cars available in Minneapolis
You'll find a wide selection of practical, everyday vehicles available for monthly rental in Minneapolis — reliable sedans, fuel-efficient compacts, and family-friendly compact SUVs. Popular makes include Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Kia. Browse car rental in Minnesota for even more options across the Twin Cities and beyond.
Picking a monthly car rental in Minneapolis that fits your budget
Whether you want to rent a car for a month in Minneapolis or stay for several months, rentals on Turo get cheaper the longer you book. Trips of 30 days or more unlock the deepest discounts, and many listings also offer reduced rates for three-day and seven-day bookings. About 60% of available monthly supply in Minneapolis is priced under $800 per month, with a median around $1,300 per month. You'll see the total price before you book — no hidden fees, no surprise charges at the end.

With Turo, you pay a transparent monthly price, extend or cancel when you want, and walk away with zero long-term financial obligation.
