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

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 great, I read a lot of reviews about a cigarette smell, I personally never smelled anything in the car. The pick up and drop off was very easy and convenient. Owner was very communicative about everything with the process. Even reached out to check on how I felt about the car midway through. Highly recommend!

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

Purple squiggle

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.
