MSP Airport Cab Service That's Already There
A hailed cab is a hope; a pre-booked cab is a plan. Reserve once and your car is scheduled, your fare is fixed, and a chauffeur — not an algorithm — is accountable for being at your door at 4 a.m. Sedans from $60, around the clock.
Why Pre-Booked Beats Hailed — Especially at 4 A.M.
When your flight leaves at 6:00 a.m., the question isn't whether a cab exists somewhere in Minneapolis — it's whether one is committed to your address at 4:15. Street hails and app requests both depend on a driver happening to be nearby and willing at the worst hour of the day. A pre-booked cab removes the gamble: your ride is on a dispatch board the night before, assigned to a specific chauffeur whose job that morning is you.
The same logic protects red-eye arrivals. Land at 12:40 a.m. and the app map can be nearly empty; the metered taxi line moves at the speed of whatever's left. Your pre-booked car, by contrast, was dispatched against your actual landing time and is holding at the pickup zone — with a free 15-minute buffer while you collect bags.
And because it's a chauffeur service, the small courtesies are standard: your bags are loaded and unloaded for you, the cabin is warm in January and cool in July, and dispatch answers a human being at every hour — 98.7% on-time across 50,000+ airport transfers since 2012.
How Your Pickup Works
Four steps, the same way every time — that's what a 98.7% punctuality record is made of.
You Book
Reserve online in 60 seconds or call dispatch. Give us your addresses, your flight number, and your bag count — you'll see the exact fixed fare before you confirm.
We Track Your Flight
From the moment you book, your flight is on our board. Delays, early landings, gate swaps — the pickup time moves with the plane, automatically, with no calls needed from you.
Curbside or Meet & Greet
Your chauffeur texts you their name and vehicle, then meets you curbside at Terminal 1 or 2 — or inside baggage claim with a name sign if you add meet-and-greet. Bags are handled for you.
One Fixed Fare
The price you saw at booking is the price you pay — card or cash. No meter, no surge, no airport surcharge tacked on at the curb, and the first 15 minutes after landing are free.

MSP Airport Cab FAQ
How early should my cab pick me up for a 6 a.m. flight at MSP?
For a 6 a.m. domestic departure we typically schedule pickup between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m., depending on your address and terminal — that puts you at check-in around 90 minutes before wheels-up with a cushion for weather. When you book, our dispatchers recommend a pickup time based on your flight, terminal, and the morning's forecast, and the car arrives 5–10 minutes before it.
Are you really available at 3 a.m.?
Yes — dispatch is staffed around the clock, 365 days a year, and pre-dawn airport runs are a large share of what we do. A 3 a.m. pickup is scheduled, confirmed, and staffed exactly like a 3 p.m. one: you get a confirmation when you book and a text when your chauffeur is en route.
My red-eye lands after midnight. Will a cab actually be there?
That's the point of pre-booking. Your reservation is tied to your flight number, so we see the actual landing time — not the scheduled one — and your chauffeur is dispatched to match it. You get a free 15-minute hold after touchdown to collect bags, and the car waits at the assigned pickup zone with your name on the manifest.
How do I pay, and is the fare really fixed?
Card or cash, your choice. The fare is set when you book — it already includes airport fees and normal wait time, and it does not change with traffic, weather, or route. The only additions would be extras you request, like an extra stop or meet-and-greet inside baggage claim.
What if my plans change — can I cancel a pre-booked cab?
Yes, cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup, and flight-related changes (delays, rebookings) are handled at no charge — just send us the new flight number and we retime the pickup. Inside 24 hours, call dispatch at (612) 666-5004 and we'll do our best to accommodate.
