We are happy to help you plan your adventure in the city, providing tips about the best car hire in Minneapolis depending on your travel requirements. With a high-quality fleet of vehicles that are, on average, three months old, you can feel secure on your travels, whether short or long-distance. For short trips into town, pick up an economy, compact car while for longer trips into the surrounding countryside, a premium SUV or MPV will provide more comfort.

The number of different car categories we offer makes it easy for you to find the perfect Minneapolis car rental to suit all your needs. Choose from a variety of car types, including sedans, SUVs, economy cars, luxury vehicles and minivans. You can even choose to further customize your rental with bookable add-ons, including an additional driver, a GPS system, or child seats. We have several different rental periods that are available, such as for the weekend, a week, and long-term.
No matter what your interests are, you can find a multitude of activities to keep you occupied during your stay in Minneapolis.

Yes. SIXT places a temporary hold on your credit card at pickup for the amount of the deposit. For payments with debit cards, please refer to our rental information for more details about deposits. The amount depends on the location and vehicle. Please check for more details on payment information in this article.
In the U.S., generally a minimum of $200 will be charged to the payment method for security purposes. The deposit for high-value vehicles may be higher. Non-airport locations in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Illinois have higher minimum authorization amounts. Additional details on the deposit can be found in this article.
Reservations are by vehicle category (“or similar”), not by an exact model. When a "guaranteed model" option is shown for your dates and location, selecting it reserves that specific model. Otherwise, you’ll receive a comparable car in the same group with similar size and performance subject to availability.
The exact mileage policy for your booking is shown during the reservation process, so you’ll know what’s included before pickup.
Vehicles rented at most SIXT locations in the contiguous United States may be driven throughout the contiguous states. Travel into Canada must be in accordance with our geographical restrictions, which can be found in our rental information. Travel to Mexico is not allowed. If you drive outside authorized areas, a fee of $0.50 per mile will apply.
All renters and authorized drivers must present a valid, unexpired, original driver’s license at the time of rental. Renters with a non-U.S. driver's license may also need to provide a valid passport or other government-issued ID. Licenses in non-Roman alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) must be accompanied by an international driver’s license. If the license is from a country not in the international driver’s license treaty, an official translation is required. See our rental information for full driver’s license and age requirements.
