Clint was an outstanding host from start to finish! The entire rental process was incredibly easy, smooth, and stress-free. He was friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure everything was clear and convenient throughout the trip. The truck itself was excellent—clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. It was spotless when I picked it up and performed flawlessly the entire time. I took it on a longer trip and had absolutely zero issues. The ride was comfortable, reliable, and handled everything I needed with ease. If you’re looking for a five-star experience all around, book with this host!!! I will absolutely rent from him again in the future! Thank you!!

The option of Renting this Nissan Frontier pick up truck appeared at first glance like an “anxiety-reducing opportunity”, and here’s the reason why: -Pretty much all of the other trucks of the same type (with the oversized compartment in the back) are advertising for over $200 at the minimum, and quite often for just 24 hours. -In addition to the relief I felt as I noticed that this one was reasonably priced, the pick up location came as an unexpected bonus. Basically, there are a great number of car dealerships, most if not all, located one next to the other, occupying about a mile-long segment of the main road connecting Colma and Daly City called Serramonte Blvd. Thus, after dropping my car at the Volkswagen dealership on Serramonte blvd, being able to access this rental, located only about a mile away was a pleasant surprise. Especially when you combine that with the affordable price. - Lastly, the communication with the truck owner was easy and the details provided were quite thorough; which altogether made for an “anxiety-reducing” experience overall😀👍🙏. Thank you again for making the rental process of your Frontier, as simple and stress-free as it can be. Kel F, PharmD

We’ve now rented for three straight months from Broden, choosing multiple vehicles. He has always been extremely responsive and made our experience smooth. He has some of the best vehicles available and at a very reasonable price. We tried to rent from another listing this past week after returning our last vehicle to Broden, and immediately had to contact Turo to have them cancel the reservation due to major mechanical issues. Broden keeps up on his mechanical services, that added Rocket Car Wash unlimited pass is a really nice bonus, and pickup and drop off are so convenient. We just booked our 4th month and 3rd vehicle today with Broden.

This truck is awesome. It has a super strong and smooth running engine. All the working areas of the truck such as the tie downs in the bed are in great condition, which was super important for me. 👍👍 used for hauling machinery. The bed is in good shape not torn up like most rental trucks. Made it easy to sweep out. You will love driving this truck if visibility is important to you, it’s a lot better than a comparable sized van lol. While trucking around 😎 I loved the sound system, worked great with charging my phone and playing music. The check in and experience with Nesha was excellent. The price was significantly better and I enjoyed this truck much more than any truck I’ve gotten from THD, Lowes or Enterprise and this year was a BIG YEAR for trucks and vans ✌️

The elevated driving position provides excellent visibility while navigating the busy streets around this popular attraction. After a full day of shopping and entertainment, you'll appreciate the spacious interior for storing purchases and the smooth ride back to your accommodation in Minneapolis or Saint Paul.


Mississippi Riverfront and Stone Arch Bridge scenic route

The historic Stone Arch Bridge offers one of Minneapolis's most photographed views, spanning the mighty Mississippi River near the bustling Mill District. This pedestrian-only bridge provides stunning vistas of Saint Anthony Falls and the downtown skyline. Convenient parking areas near the riverfront make it easy to explore on foot after arriving in your rental car. The surrounding area features walking trails, historic mill ruins, and charming riverside parks perfect for afternoon exploration. The scenic drive along the Mississippi offers beautiful views of the water and connects you to various neighborhoods throughout the Twin Cities region.

Your rental car provides comfortable transportation for exploring this historic neighborhood, with numerous spots to pause and admire the architectural details. The famous F. Scott Fitzgerald house and the impressive James J. Hill mansion anchor this prestigious street, offering glimpses into Minnesota's gilded age prosperity.

How do I drive from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport to downtown?

From MSP airport, take Highway 5 east to connect with Interstate 494, then merge onto Highway 55 north which leads directly into downtown Minneapolis. The route passes through Bloomington and crosses the Minnesota River before reaching the city center. Multiple highway signs clearly mark the path to both Minneapolis and Saint Paul downtown areas.

What are the most popular road trip routes from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport?

The scenic drive north from MSP leads to Minnesota's lake country, passing through charming small towns and state parks perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. Highway routes west from the airport connect to the Minnesota River Valley and prairie landscapes, while eastward paths from Saint Paul lead to Wisconsin's scenic river towns along the Mississippi. Many travelers also head south from Minneapolis toward Iowa's rolling hills and historic communities.

What driving rules should I know before leaving the airport?

Minnesota requires headlights during precipitation and reduced visibility conditions, while right turns on red are permitted after a complete stop unless posted otherwise. Speed limits around MSP and the Minneapolis metro area are strictly enforced, particularly in construction zones which are common during warmer months. Always yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and maintain proper following distances on busy highways leading from the airport.

Are there toll roads near Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport?

No toll roads operate near MSP airport or throughout the greater Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area. Minnesota maintains its highway system through state funding rather than tolls, making travel between the airport, Bloomington, and downtown areas completely free. This includes all major routes like Interstate 494, Highway 5, and Highway 55 that connect the airport to surrounding communities.

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?

To rent a car on Turo in the US, you must be 18 years old or older.

Is there unlimited mileage car rental on Turo?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you'll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you'll see the total miles or kilometers you're allowed to drive under the heading "Distance included." You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the "Unlimited distance" filter.

Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers near the airport?

Multiple gas stations line the highways immediately surrounding MSP, particularly along Highway 5 and in nearby Bloomington shopping areas. Electric vehicle charging stations are available at several locations within the airport complex and at major retail centers throughout the Minneapolis area.

In most cases, you'll get approved immediately, and you'll be set for all future road trips, day trips, and business trips!

Should I rent a car from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport?

A car rental from MSP makes sense for hauling outdoor gear to Minnesota's lakes and parks or transporting large items around the Minneapolis metro area. Rental cars provide excellent capability for winter driving conditions common in Minnesota and offer the space needed for family trips throughout the Saint Paul region.
