Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is a car service from Minneapolis to Mayo Clinic in Rochester? +

Minneapolis or MSP Airport to Mayo Clinic in Rochester is a flat fare quoted before you confirm, based on the vehicle you choose, and it does not change with traffic or weather. The trip is about 85 miles and roughly 90 minutes each way. Book the return with the outbound and the round trip saves 10%.

How long does it take to get from MSP to Mayo Clinic? +

About 90 minutes door to door in normal conditions, covering roughly 85 miles down Highway 52 through Cannon Falls and Zumbrota to downtown Rochester. Winter weather or rush-hour traffic leaving the Twin Cities can add 20 to 30 minutes, so dispatch schedules pickups with a buffer when you share your appointment time.

Will I make my Mayo Clinic appointment on time? +

Yes. Tell us your appointment time and building, and dispatch sets the pickup so you arrive with at least 30 minutes to spare, including a weather buffer in winter. Chauffeurs know the Gonda Building, Mayo Building and Charlton Building entrances, Saint Marys Hospital and the Methodist campus, and drop you at the right door rather than a distant lot.

Can the chauffeur wait during my appointment? +

Yes. For a single visit, book hourly or as-directed service with a 3-hour minimum, quoted at booking, and the chauffeur stays in Rochester and returns you the same day. For visits of several hours or multiple days, a round trip with separate pickup times is usually more economical, and the return can be adjusted by phone if the clinic runs late.

Do you offer round trips to Rochester? +

Yes, and round trips save 10% on the total fare. Book both legs together with your appointment dates, and the return chauffeur is scheduled for your Rochester pickup time. Many patients book the outbound from home or MSP and the return from the Kahler Grand, the Hilton or the DoubleTree after a multi-day stay.

Can you accommodate passengers with mobility needs? +

Yes. Chauffeurs help with walkers, folding wheelchairs and oxygen equipment, which travel in the trunk or cargo area, and assist at both doors. The Lincoln Continental and Mercedes-Benz S-Class have low seats that are easy to step into, while the Cadillac Escalade offers more room for equipment and a companion. Tell dispatch what you need when booking.

Where do you drop off at Mayo Clinic in downtown Rochester? +

At the entrance you name. Most patients use the Gonda Building on 2nd Street SW, which connects to the Mayo Building and the subway level, or the Charlton Building. Hotel drop-offs at the Kahler Grand, the Marriott and the Hilton are within two blocks of the clinic and linked by skyway and subway, so you can move between them indoors.

Is the drive to Rochester safe in winter? +

Yes. Chauffeurs drive the Highway 52 corridor year-round in vehicles equipped for Minnesota winters, and dispatch checks MnDOT road conditions before every trip. Pickups are moved earlier when snow is forecast, and the fare stays flat regardless of how long the drive takes. If conditions close the highway, you are notified early and rebooked at no charge.
