JB rentals saved the day. I could find a rental car at any rental agency. I rented the Jeep Gladiator from JB. The directions to get to the vehicle were great. The vehicle was clean and ran perfectly. This worked out great for my business trip this week. Thank you JB rentals! I will rent from you again next time I'm in town.

Rented a Corvette for my birthday. It was a great birthday. Bryce was very knowledgeable and professional. He made us feel at ease when it came to having fun with the car, and flexible with pick up/drop off. The Corvette was in perfect condition, very comfortable and the incredibly fun. After a quick ride, my niece wants me to buy one and leave it to her in my will. It's a comfortable cruiser but will wake up when tasked with speed. This was money well spent for a memorable experience.

Mazda MX-5 Miata 2025

This car is an absolute blast and the fact that it exists in 2026 has restored my faith in new cars. It is so choice, if you have the means I definitely recommend picking one up, if not rent this one. The controls fall easy to hand and foot, the steering wheel is tidy but communicative and predictable. The pedals are well placed, clutch uptake is easy, and both brake and accelerator are progressive and intuitive. Every shift is a rewarding experience with bolt action like precision. The front mid engine layout gives the car such outstanding handling. It is so much fun to drive. Even at slow speeds it is great fun. While driving this car I learned there is truth to the saying: ‘Miata is always the answer’. The cabin well appointed but has minimal distractions. Touch screens and haptic buttons are noticeably absent, all controls are well placed buttons and knobs, providing the driver with the refreshing ability to control anything necessary without taking their eyes off the road. The engine in the MX-5 is not the main event but it is certainly not an afterthought. It’s not excessively powerful but it is peppy, fun, and eager at acceptable speeds. It’s capable of reving to 7000rpm and still pulls healthily all the way up. Though the twin cam four banger doesn’t have the most exotic soundtrack, it is sporty enough and it doesn’t sound terrible. Driving with the top down was such a delight. Even at highway speeds with the top down passengers can converse at a reasonable volume and don’t feel like they’re being bombasted with wind. The only drawback to the MX-5 is luggage space. To my dismay, I could only fit one carry on luggage in the trunk. Two travelers will either have to pack into one bag or be contented to drive with the second bag precariously balanced on the passengers lap. On the whole the driving experience with this MX-5 was superb. The car was clean, well taken care of, and as advertised. The owner was communicative, pickup and drop off were easy. I would without a doubt rent from them again. I was sad to drop the car off because it was truly such a delight to drive.

Exploring Minneapolis and Saint Paul attractions with your rental car

The Twin Cities region offers countless opportunities for memorable drives and discoveries. From the iconic Stone Arch Bridge spanning the Mississippi River to the expansive Chain of Lakes, you'll find scenic routes perfect for convertible adventures. Downtown Minneapolis beckons with its skyways and cultural districts, while Saint Paul charms visitors with its historic Summit Avenue. The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, Minnehaha Falls, and the vibrant Mill District provide diverse experiences. Your rental car gives you the flexibility to explore both cities at your own pace, discovering hidden gems and popular attractions throughout the metro area.


Stone Arch Bridge and Mill District adventures

The historic Stone Arch Bridge stands as Minneapolis's most photographed landmark, offering spectacular views of the Mississippi River and downtown skyline. This pedestrian-friendly bridge connects to the Mill District, where old flour mills have been transformed into museums, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Parking is available in nearby lots, making it easy to explore on foot after your drive. The surrounding riverfront area features walking paths and parks perfect for stretching your legs. Your rental convertible allows you to approach this iconic destination while enjoying panoramic views of the city's impressive architecture and the flowing Mississippi River below.


Chain of Lakes scenic driving experience

Minneapolis's Chain of Lakes creates a natural oasis within the urban landscape, featuring Lake Calhoun, Lake Harriet, and Lake of the Isles connected by scenic parkways. These winding roads offer perfect opportunities for leisurely drives with stunning water views and elegant neighborhoods. Each lake features its own character, from Lake Harriet's charming bandshell to the upscale homes surrounding Lake of the Isles. Parking areas near each lake provide convenient stopping points for walks along the shoreline paths. The tree-canopied drives between lakes showcase Minneapolis's commitment to preserving natural beauty within the metropolitan area.


Summit Avenue historic mansion tour

Saint Paul's Summit Avenue stretches for miles as one of America's longest and best-preserved Victorian residential boulevards. This tree-lined street showcases magnificent mansions built by railroad barons and lumber magnates, including the historic James J. Hill House. The avenue extends from the Cathedral of Saint Paul to the Mississippi River, offering a glimpse into the Gilded Age grandeur. Street parking is generally available along most sections, though some areas have time restrictions. Your rental car provides the perfect vantage point to admire these architectural treasures while cruising slowly down this historic corridor. The changing seasons create different backdrops for these stunning homes throughout the year.


Minnehaha Falls natural wonder visit

Minnehaha Falls cascades 53 feet over limestone cliffs in one of Minneapolis's most beloved parks. The falls inspired Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem and continue to enchant visitors year-round. Minnehaha Park offers ample parking and connects to the Grand Rounds scenic byway system. The park features walking trails, picnic areas, and historic structures including a replica of Longfellow's home. Your rental car provides easy access to this natural attraction while allowing you to continue exploring the connected park system and nearby Fort Snelling State Park along the Minnesota and Mississippi rivers.


Minneapolis Sculpture Garden cultural exploration

The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden spans 11 acres adjacent to the Walker Art Center, featuring over 40 permanent art installations including the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry fountain. This free outdoor museum represents one of the largest urban sculpture gardens in the country. The garden connects to Loring Park through a pedestrian bridge, creating an extended cultural corridor. Parking is available in nearby structures and street spaces, though availability varies during events and peak seasons. Your rental convertible journey through the surrounding Lowry Hill neighborhood showcases beautiful architecture and tree-lined streets leading to this world-renowned cultural destination. The garden's elevated location provides excellent city views beyond the artistic installations.
