Car Rental in Minneapolis

Family car rental in Minneapolis

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in USA traditionally include the following vehicles: Pontiac Grand Prix, Chevrolet Impala, Oldsmobile Alero, Hyundai Elantra, Toyota Avensis, Nissan Primera and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Minneapolis borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Minneapolis might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Minneapolis!

Unregulated crossroads are crossed in accordance with the following right – the car that came to the intersection first has the right to cross it first. Unregulated crossroads are identified by the signs “4 WAY STOP” or “3 WAY”. If several cars reach the same intersection at the same time, the controversial situation is solved by “winking” headlights or the usual “pass” gesture.
It is very profitable to travel by car if you have a big company. If there are more than three passengers in a car, the car gets the privileged status of a «carpool», and so it can ride on a special «carpool lane». Otherwise, driving on this lane is prohibited, and a fine for violating this rule can range from US$300 to US$1000.
While driving, it is prohibited to pick up travel companions. In some states this is illegal. If there is a parked car on the side of a deserted road, you shouldn’t stop to help. There are special services for that.
