What you need to know before you go

How do I get a Minneapolis National car rental at a great rate?

We try to get you the lowest price, no matter when you reserve your vehicle. However, booking your car ahead of your trip can help you save even more. Make sure to read the mileage policy and keeping it to one driver will reduce your expense.

What do I need to bring when I pick up my car rental in Minneapolis?

You will need to carry with you your driver's permit and a credit card in your name.

What's the minimum age to rent a car in Minneapolis?

Most suppliers in Minneapolis require that you at least be 21 years old to rent a car. Take time to go over National's policies, as there may be limitations if you are under 25 in most cases or for higher category rentals especially.

What kind of National rental car should I get for my trip to Minneapolis?

That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Minneapolis. Compact or economy cars are good for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with family or friends, then a sedan or SUV will have more room for luggage and provide a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a little extravagance on their Minneapolis getaway can choose the premium category for a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in the United States?

You are required to have insurance before you rent in the United States. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can purchase Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my National car rental?

National does require a deposit when you reserve your rental. National will block the deposit on your credit once you book your car for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly depending on the model and make of the vehicle.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to National?

At CarRentals.com, we suggest a full tank policy. You should get into your vehicle topped off. If you return your rental with less than the amount that you received it with, most companies will charge a premium to top it back off. If you want to save some money, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to National. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Minneapolis has plenty to keep you entertained, but you may want to head to nearby cities to find out what else Minnesota has to offer. You can explore the rest of the area free of mileage limits once you've checked off all the activities in Minneapolis.

Can I get a one-way rental from National?

National offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it more convenient to return your vehicle at another National. Be aware there may be an additional charge when you opt for one-way.
