Located on the border with Canada in America’s Midwest, the state of Minnesota has much to offer to curious visitors. It is the 12th-largest state in the US, with a population of more than five million, though more than half of the state’s residents live in the Twin Cities of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area.

To enjoy the range of recreational activities Minnesota has it is a good idea to arrange car hire. Cheap car hire can make your trip to Minnesota easier and enable you to visit the lakes of the Northern Light region and the Twin Cities.

The main airport in Minnesota is Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, which is surrounded by Minneapolis, St Paul and the suburban cities of Bloomington, Eagan, Mendota Heights and Richfield. Due to the location of the airport near so many of the main cities it means the journey to your accommodation should not be too long. Car rental can also be organised for collection at one of the state’s other airports.

Book International Falls car rental and collect at the airport in the far north of Minnesota. If you want to see more of the shores of Lake Superior and you would like to arrange car hire, Duluth International Airport might be a more convenient arrival point for your travels. Airports at Rochester and St Cloud also feature car-rental offices. Beyond the airports, a number of handy downtown car-hire offices are located in Minnesota’s urban areas.

By arranging the use of a hire car you will not be restricted in what you can do...

Winter in Minnesota can be very cold, summer is warm to hot and frequently humid. Snowfall occurs often in the winter and thunderstorms with heavy rain occur during the spring, summer and autumn. It is advisable to keep a blanket in your hire car during the winter months in case you break down during cold weather.

Aside from the Twin Cities, where museums, art galleries, theatres and the wonderful Minneapolis Sculpture Garden lure tourists, what else is there to see? The answer is a lot, so we will try to capture the main highlights for you. Tackle the slopes of Spirit Mountain in Duluth whatever the weather, have family fun at the Water Park of America (the nation’s tallest!), or view the famed Minnehaha Falls.

Duluth is a 150-minute drive from Minneapolis, though the water park and the falls can be reached in less than half an hour from the city. And you can’t see this supposed Land of 10,000 Lakes without spending some time canoeing, swimming, fishing or simply sitting and enjoying views of the water. Minnesota claims a shoreline on one of North America’s Great Lakes, so take the time to get to know Lake Superior during your holiday.

Car rental in Minnesota is essential if you wish to explore the countryside it is famous for. Driving through the highways and roads you will sometimes come across unique Minnesota roadside attractions. The statue of the Jolly Green Giant, at 55ft tall, is one of the largest Minnesota roadside attractions. The giant can be found in Blue Earth, Minnesota, and is a reminder of the state's agricultural resources.

In order to take in these wonderful historic sights it is essential to find good car rental in Minnesota.
