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

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 ✌️

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.

Saint Paul offers remarkable attractions easily accessible with your rental car, from the magnificent Cathedral of Saint Paul to the bustling farmers markets where you can transport fresh Minnesota produce. You'll find the historic Summit Avenue lined with Victorian mansions, the interactive Science Museum of Minnesota, and the lively Grand Avenue shopping district perfect for hauling purchases. Your rental car provides the flexibility to visit multiple neighborhoods, transport equipment for outdoor activities along the Mississippi River, and easily navigate between the city's diverse cultural attractions at your own pace.


Cathedral of Saint Paul and Summit Avenue historic district

The Cathedral of Saint Paul stands as an architectural masterpiece with its impressive dome visible throughout the city, while Summit Avenue stretches as one of America's longest Victorian residential boulevards. You'll find ample street parking for your rental car near the cathedral, and the wide Summit Avenue accommodates larger vehicles comfortably. The scenic route along Summit Avenue offers perfect opportunities to transport photography equipment or supplies for exploring this historic neighborhood's stunning architecture.


Mississippi River recreational corridor and trails

The Mississippi River corridor provides extensive recreational opportunities with boat launches, fishing spots, and trail access points perfect for transporting outdoor gear in your car. You'll discover multiple parking areas designed for vehicles with trailers, making it ideal for hauling boats, bikes, or camping equipment to various river access points. Your rental car allows you to easily transport supplies for riverside picnics or equipment for water activities along Minnesota's most famous waterway.


Grand Avenue shopping and dining district

Grand Avenue bustles with local boutiques, antique shops, and restaurants where your rental car proves invaluable for transporting purchases and discoveries. You'll find convenient loading zones and parking spaces that accommodate cars, especially useful when shopping for furniture, artwork, or bulk items from the area's unique retailers. The district's tree-lined streets and vintage charm make it perfect for leisurely exploration while your car handles any heavy lifting from your shopping adventures.

Top tips for renting a car in Saint Paul

Book your car rental early on Turo to secure the best vehicle for your Minnesota needs, whether you're planning equipment transport, moving tasks, or hauling supplies for projects. Look for cars with features like backup cameras for navigating Saint Paul's historic neighborhoods, all-wheel drive for Minnesota weather conditions, and keyless entry for convenient access during frequent loading stops. Choose a car size that matches your specific hauling requirements, considering Saint Paul's mix of narrow historic streets and modern thoroughfares that accommodate various rental cars comfortably.

Frequently asked questions in St Paul

Why rent a car in Saint Paul?

Saint Paul offers excellent car rental opportunities for moving between neighborhoods like Summit Hill and Cathedral Hill, with wide streets accommodating larger vehicles. Car rentals provide essential cargo space for relocating to Minnesota's capital city or transporting equipment for outdoor adventures. The city's well-planned grid system makes navigating with rental cars straightforward for both local moves and exploring the greater Twin Cities area.

What should I expect when driving a car versus a regular car?

Cars require longer stopping distances and wider turning radius compared to standard vehicles, especially when navigating Saint Paul's downtown streets. You'll sit higher with better road visibility but need extra caution when changing lanes due to larger blind spots. Moving cars and pickup rentals handle differently in Minnesota weather conditions, requiring gentler acceleration and braking techniques.

How do I park and maneuver a large car effectively?

Saint Paul's parking meters and residential areas often accommodate rental cars, but always check height clearances in parking structures downtown. Use your mirrors extensively and take wider turns at intersections, particularly around the State Capitol area where streets can be narrow. Practice backing up in an empty lot before attempting parallel parking, as cars require significantly more space than regular vehicles.

How do I properly distribute load and manage weight in a car?

Place heavy items toward the front of the car bed and secure everything with tie-downs to prevent shifting during transport around Saint Paul's hills. Distribute weight evenly from side to side to maintain proper balance, especially important when crossing the Mississippi River bridges. Never exceed the car's payload capacity, and remember that Minnesota's weight regulations apply to rental vehicles carrying equipment or moving supplies.

What safety features do modern cars offer?

Contemporary rental cars include backup cameras essential for navigating Saint Paul's tight residential streets and parking areas. Many cars feature stability control systems that help maintain traction during Minnesota's variable weather conditions. Advanced models offer blind spot monitoring and collision warning systems, providing extra security when merging onto highways like I-94 or I-35E around the Twin Cities metro.

What are the best car road trip destinations from Saint Paul?

Minnesota's North Shore along Lake Superior offers spectacular scenery accessible via rental car, with plenty of space for camping gear and outdoor equipment. The Mississippi River valley south of Saint Paul provides excellent car-friendly routes for exploring historic river towns and state parks. Rental cars work perfectly for reaching Minnesota's lake country, where you can transport boats, fishing equipment, and supplies for extended outdoor adventures.

Is there long term car rental on Turo?

Yes there is — whether you want to rent a car for three days, three months, or even longer, you can on Turo. You'll find discounted prices on bookings lasting 3+, 7+, or 30+ days, so you can get the best deals and lowest rates possible by booking longer trips.

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.

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.

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?
