Chauffeur’s guide
Minneapolis is served by Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP), whose two terminals are linked by a free light-rail ride that runs around the clock. This guide covers the MSP arrival, Metro Transit, and a curated short list of Minneapolis restaurants and places, with a vetted local chauffeur and one upfront quote.
In Minneapolis, trips are driven by a vetted local affiliate chauffeur and coordinated by our 24/7 desk.
Minneapolis · In detail
MSP has two terminals, and moving between them is free on the light rail, which runs between the terminals around the clock, seven days a week. Tell us which terminal you land at; your chauffeur's name, mobile and plate arrive by SMS before you land.
Metro Transit runs the region's buses and light rail. Meet Minneapolis, the official visitor organisation, bills it as The City By Nature and lists things to do, eat and see. A chauffeur on an hourly booking waits between meetings across the metro.
The restaurants and places in this guide can be joined on one hourly booking, and the price is confirmed in writing before you book.

At Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals point confirmed in your booking, tracked to your actual landing time. Commercial arrivals include 60 minutes of complimentary wait after landing and private-aviation arrivals 15 minutes; the desk tracks the flight, so a delay moves the pickup with it.
Moving between MSP's two terminals is free on the light rail, which runs between them around the clock, seven days a week. Your chauffeur is told your terminal in advance, so you rarely need to switch.
Every Minneapolis trip is quoted upfront by the 24/7 desk before you pay. The quote is upfront and the price locks when you book; a 20% gratuity is added when you book.

Our 24/7 reservations desk watches the flight (commercial) or tail number (private aviation) from before block-out.

You are dispatched a late-model Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Lincoln Aviator or similar executive sedan, a Cadillac Escalade / Chevrolet Suburban or similar SUV, or an Executive Sprinter van depending on headcount and luggage. The chauffeur’s name, mobile and vehicle plate are confirmed by SMS and email the night before departure (or on dispatch for same-day rides). Every chauffeur holds a current commercial licence, is background-checked, drug-tested, and carries the state-required commercial livery insurance.
Chauffyr quotes are in USD; your confirmed quote is locked when you book — no distance surcharge, no fuel surcharge. The only post-ride adjustments are the 20% gratuity added when you book any wait time beyond the policy windows above, both of which appear as explicit line items on your receipt. Billing to a corporate account is available on request; our desk invoices against a single credit card or ACH relationship.
Most rides can be booked up to a few hours before pickup through the live quote widget on this page; our 24/7 US-based desk handles same-day and overnight requests by phone. Every booking returns a written confirmation to your email, with the dispatcher’s direct line should anything on the day of travel change. Cancellation and no-show policy vary by vehicle class and are listed on our cancellation policy page.
