Pickup & delivery in Minneapolis
We offer multiple pickup locations across the Minneapolis metro. Once your vehicle is assigned, we'll provide the exact pickup address — typically within 24 hours of booking. Delivery is available in most cases; if the delivery address is more than 25 miles from our pickup location there may be additional charges.
How much fits in the van
Choose 12 seats when you're carrying luggage, coolers, instruments, or event gear; that last row of space behind the seats is what makes it work. Choose 15 seats when headcount matters more than cargo — a straight hotel-to-Mall of America shuttle where everyone is carrying a jacket and a phone.
How far ahead to book
Reserve as soon as your Mall of America tickets are confirmed. Rates move with demand, and the calendar around Bloomington, MN fills from the outside in: weekends first, then the days on either side. Midweek trips stay available much longer.
Who can drive, and what's included
No commercial license is needed — a standard driver's license covers a 12 or 15-passenger van in every US state. Drivers must meet the minimum age on the reservation, and mileage allowances, insurance options and any young-driver fees are shown on the checkout page before you pay, so there's nothing to discover at the counter.
Getting your group to Mall of America without the logistics headache
A trip to Mall of America usually breaks into three moves: collect the group, drive to Bloomington, MN, and get everyone home afterwards. A high-roof Sprinter handles all three, with standing-height access, a full luggage area behind the last row, and enough seats that nobody has to drive separately.
Parking and drop-off near Mall of America
Sprinters clear most surface parking near Bloomington, MN comfortably, but skip any structure with a clearance bar. Book an event parking pass in advance where available, and plan the exit route before the event ends — leaving from a lot that empties onto a side street beats sitting in the main queue.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Mall of America
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Mall of America?
No. A standard driver's license is sufficient for a 12 or 15-passenger van in the United States. A commercial license is only required for vehicles built for 16 or more passengers.
Can a Sprinter park at Mall of America?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Bloomington, MN. Avoid parking structures with clearance bars under about 10 feet, since high-roof Sprinters won't fit.
How many suitcases fit if we're coming from the airport?
The 12-passenger layout holds roughly 7 to 8 large suitcases plus carry-ons behind the rear bench. The 15-passenger layout uses that space for an extra row, so it suits groups travelling light.
Can you deliver the van instead of us picking it up in Minneapolis?
Delivery is available in most of the Minneapolis metro. Addresses more than 25 miles from the pickup location may carry an additional delivery charge, which is quoted before you book.
What happens if the event at Mall of America runs late?
The van is yours for the full rental day, so there's no waiting driver and no surge pricing when you leave. Extend the rental at checkout if your return trip falls on the following day.
