Pickup near or at Airports
St. Paul, the capital of Minnesota, is a welcoming cultural and historical hub along the Mississippi River. It forms an urban core with Minneapolis and comes with a few unique considerations when renting a car. In winter, you’ll need all-wheel drive or snow tires on your rental car to handle snowy, icy roads — plus an ice scraper for snow accumulation.
February is typically the cheapest month to book a rental in St. Paul. Whether you prefer a zippy compact car rental or a rugged SUV, booking early helps ensure you get the right vehicle for your trip and the weather.
Driving in Saint Paul follows standard U.S. and state laws — seat belts are mandatory, and headlights are required in rain, snow, or low-visibility conditions. Speed limits are 30 MPH in the downtown area and 55–70 MPH on highways, depending on the individual roadway. Winter brings snow, ice, and the risk of black ice; you must fully clear your vehicle of snow before driving. Rain in spring and fall can make roads slick, so caution is key.
You generally won’t have trouble finding parking in Saint Paul. Downtown Saint Paul offers metered street parking, along with convenient garages if you prefer not to park curbside. To add to the good news, parking is often free after hours and on Sundays. You can pay meter prices easily using mobile apps. Lots are plentiful near major attractions like the Xcel Energy Center and local museums. Some neighborhood locations require permits, but restrictions are clearly posted where they apply.
There are no full toll roads in either St Paul or Minneapolis. However, solo drivers pay fees for traveling in express lanes on I-35 and I-394 during peak commute hours. These tolls do not apply to buses, motorcycles, or passenger vehicles with two or more occupants.
St. Paul is a forward-thinking city with convenient access to major-brand gas stations. You’ll find a BP just half a mile from the Xcel Energy Center, a Holiday station within walking distance of downtown, and a Speedway a little over a mile from CHS Field — ideal for quick, hassle-free fill-ups. EV charging stations are also abundant, with one near the St. Paul Science Museum.
You don’t need a rental vehicle to enjoy Saint Paul — many of its top attractions are within easy walking distance of one another. However, having a car gives you the freedom to explore locations beyond the city core, from hidden conservatories to lesser-known historic landmarks and scenic parks.
