MSP sits between the two cities, about twenty minutes from either downtown. Terminal 1 handles most carriers and Terminal 2 the rest, so we confirm which one before the pickup.
This guide covers how ground transportation works in Minneapolis: which airport suits which destination, where cars can actually collect you, when the city books out, and what to send us so a quote comes back right the first time.
The airports
| Code | Airport |
|---|---|
| MSP | Minneapolis-St. Paul International |
| FCM | Flying Cloud, private aviation |
| STP | St. Paul Downtown, private aviation |
Minneapolis-St. Paul International (MSP) handles most scheduled traffic, with Flying Cloud, private aviation (FCM), St. Paul Downtown, private aviation (STP) covering the rest.
Every airport pickup is tracked against your flight number. If the aircraft lands late, the pickup moves with it at no charge, and your chauffeur meets you inside at baggage claim with a name sign rather than waiting on the arrivals road.
Where journeys actually go

When the city is busy
Demand here is driven by medical travel to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, corporate headquarters, winter weather. Those are the weeks when vehicles book out first, so a booking made early is worth more than a booking made carefully.
Venues that generate regular work include the Minneapolis Convention Center, Hotel Ivy, Mall of America. For events at any of them, we agree the drop-off point in advance rather than discovering on the night that the entrance is closed to traffic.
Leaving town
Regular long-distance runs from Minneapolis go to . Door to door in one car often beats a short flight once airport time is counted, and it is usually cheaper than several separate fares once a group is involved.
