MSP Airport Taxi Service — Without the Taxi Line
A pre-booked, flat-rate alternative to the airport taxi queue. Your car is assigned before you land, your fare is fixed before you ride, and your chauffeur is tracking your flight the whole way in. Sedans from $60.
Why Riders Skip the MSP Taxi Queue
The taxi rank at MSP works the way it always has: you land, you walk to the stand, you wait for whichever cab is next, and the meter decides your fare somewhere on I-35W. A pre-booked airport taxi flips every part of that around.
Flat rate instead of a meter
Your fare is fixed at booking and includes tolls and airport fees. A crash on the Crosstown or a snow-slowed 494 costs you nothing extra — the meter never runs because there isn't one.
Pre-booked, pre-assigned pickup
No queue, no roulette on the vehicle's condition. You get the chauffeur's name, number, and car details by text before wheels-down, and the car that shows up is a detailed black sedan, SUV, or Sprinter.
Flight tracking with a free 15-minute hold
Give us your flight number and we watch it in real time. Delays, gate changes, early arrivals — the pickup adjusts automatically, and the first 15 minutes after touchdown are always free.
Both terminals, every hour
Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) and Terminal 2 (Humphrey), arrivals and departures, 365 nights a year. A 4:30 a.m. Sun Country departure gets the same car and the same standard as a Tuesday noon Delta arrival.

Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 — We Know the Drill
At Terminal 1 (Lindbergh), where Delta and most legacy carriers land, your chauffeur meets you at the passenger pickup zone on the Ground Transportation level — one escalator down from baggage claim. At Terminal 2 (Humphrey), home to Sun Country and Southwest, pickup is at the ground-level curb directly outside baggage claim.
Prefer not to hunt for a curb at all? Add meet-and-greet and your chauffeur waits inside baggage claim with a name sign, takes your bags, and walks you to the car — popular for first-time visitors, grandparents, and anyone landing after a long international leg.

MSP Airport Taxi FAQ
How much is a taxi from MSP Airport to downtown Minneapolis?
A metered airport taxi from MSP to downtown Minneapolis typically runs $45–$55 before tip, and more in traffic because the meter keeps running. Our flat rate is $75 for an executive sedan or $90 for an SUV — fixed before you ride, all-inclusive, with a professional chauffeur, flight tracking, and a pre-assigned car instead of a wait in the taxi line.
Where does my driver meet me at MSP — Terminal 1 or Terminal 2?
We serve both terminals. At Terminal 1 (Lindbergh), your chauffeur meets you at the designated passenger pickup area on the Ground Transportation level; at Terminal 2 (Humphrey), pickup is at the ground-level curb outside baggage claim. You receive the driver's name, phone number, and vehicle details by text before you land, and optional meet-and-greet inside baggage claim is available.
What happens if my flight is delayed or lands early?
Nothing you need to manage. We track your flight number in real time and adjust the pickup automatically — whether you land 40 minutes late or 20 minutes early. Every airport pickup also includes a free 15-minute hold after touchdown, so there's no waiting fee while you collect luggage.
Can I book a same-day airport taxi to MSP?
Yes. Dispatch runs 24/7 and we regularly cover same-day and even 3 a.m. requests. For guaranteed availability we recommend booking at least 3–4 hours ahead online, or calling (612) 666-5004 for anything sooner — if a car is free, we'll send it.
Do you provide car seats or help with luggage?
Chauffeurs load and unload all luggage at both ends of the trip — that's standard, not an extra. Forward-facing child seats and boosters are available on request at booking; just note ages in the reservation form or mention it when you call.
