Twin Cities to Mayo Clinic, private and direct
Rochester is about 85 miles south of the Twin Cities on Highway 52, roughly 90 minutes door to door, and it is the long-distance trip we make more than any other. Most of our Rochester rides begin or end at Mayo Clinic, at the Gonda Building, the Mayo Building and the Plummer Building downtown, at the Saint Marys campus on the west side, or at the hotels tied into the downtown skyway system, including the Kahler Grand, the Hilton and the Marriott. We also serve homes, offices and Rochester International Airport for guests arriving on regional flights.
Patients and families choose a private car for this drive because it is quiet, direct and unhurried, and because the fare is a single flat number quoted before you confirm. Your chauffeur meets you at MSP baggage claim with a name sign if you want one, loads the luggage, and drives straight to your hotel or appointment entrance. Return rides are timed around your last appointment, and the round trip saves 10 percent. In winter the Cadillac Escalade is the right choice for Highway 52.
We also handle the reverse trip for Rochester residents flying out of MSP, executives visiting the companies along the Highway 52 corridor, and events at the Mayo Civic Center. Hourly and as-directed service stays within the Twin Cities metro, so Rochester trips are always quoted point to point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Rochester to MSP Airport?
About 90 minutes in normal conditions, straight up Highway 52 to I-494 and the terminals. In snow or heavy traffic we allow more, and we schedule departures with enough margin for check-in and security at MSP.
Do you pick up at Mayo Clinic and the downtown Rochester hotels?
Yes. We serve the Gonda Building, the Mayo Building, Saint Marys and Methodist campuses, the Kahler Grand, the Hilton and Marriott near the clinic, and any other Rochester hotel, home or office. Tell us which entrance and your chauffeur will be waiting there.
What does a car between the Twin Cities and Rochester cost?
Rochester trips are long-distance and are quoted as one flat fare before you confirm, based on the vehicle you choose. Sedan fares start at $49, the S-Class at $59 and the Escalade at $69, plus distance, and booking the round trip saves 10 percent.
Can you meet an arriving patient at MSP with a name sign?
Yes. Meet and Greet is $15. Your chauffeur waits at baggage claim with a name sign, helps with luggage and mobility needs, and walks with you to the car. We track the flight, so a delayed landing costs nothing and the chauffeur is still there when you arrive.
Can I book hourly service in Rochester?
Hourly and as-directed service stays within the Twin Cities metro. Rochester rides are quoted point to point, and multiple stops on the way, such as a pharmacy or a second hotel, can be added for $15 each when you book.
Do you pick up at Rochester International Airport?
Yes. We meet regional flights at Rochester International Airport, track the flight, and drive to Mayo Clinic, a downtown hotel or any Rochester address in about 15 minutes, or on to the Twin Cities in about 90 minutes. Meet & Greet with a name sign is $15 and 30 minutes of waiting is included.
Can I book a round trip from MSP to Mayo Clinic and back?
Yes. Booking both directions together saves 10 percent on the total. The outbound is tracked against your inbound flight at MSP, and the return is scheduled for the end of your last appointment. If the appointment runs long, call dispatch and we retime the pickup at no charge.
Can the chauffeur help a patient using a wheelchair or walker?
Yes. Chauffeurs help passengers in and out of the vehicle, carry a folding wheelchair or walker in the trunk, and walk with you to the Gonda Building or Saint Marys entrance. Our vehicles do not have a lift, so tell dispatch about any mobility needs when you book so we can assign the right car.
What if my Mayo Clinic appointment has no fixed end time?
Book the return for your best estimate and call or text dispatch when you know more. We retime the pickup at no charge, and the chauffeur is staged near the clinic when you are ready. Because the fare is flat, waiting for a text costs you nothing on a Rochester point-to-point ride.
How much notice do you need for a Rochester trip?
Online bookings need at least two hours, and a day ahead is ideal for a long-distance run so dispatch can assign a chauffeur who drives Highway 52 regularly. Same-day Rochester rides are often possible by phone at (612) 999-5382, and cancellation is free up to 24 hours before pickup.
