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.
Timing your booking
Passenger van supply in Minneapolis is tight around big dates at Target Center & Xcel Energy Center — championship games, festival weekends, graduations and holiday weekends all pull from the same small fleet pool. Two to four weeks ahead is comfortable for a normal weekend; six to eight weeks is realistic for a marquee event.
Licensing, insurance and mileage
Any licensed driver who meets the age requirement can drive the van to Target Center & Xcel Energy Center; you don't need a CDL. You'll see your daily rate, mileage allowance, tax, and optional coverage itemized during checkout, and you can add unlimited miles if the round trip from Minneapolis runs long.
Getting your group to Target Center & Xcel Energy Center without the logistics headache
The easiest way to handle Target Center & Xcel Energy Center is to treat the van as your group's home base for the day. Everyone meets at one spot in Minneapolis, bags and gear go in the back, and the same vehicle takes you from the hotel to Twin Cities, MN and back again when the event ends.
Parking and drop-off near Target Center & Xcel Energy Center
Sprinters clear most surface parking near Twin Cities, 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.
Sizing the van for your group
If your group is flying into Minneapolis and going straight to Target Center & Xcel Energy Center, the 12-passenger configuration is usually the right call — it leaves a genuine luggage bay behind the rear bench. For local groups already checked into a hotel, the 15-passenger van gets three more people in the same vehicle.
Questions about renting a Sprinter for Target Center & Xcel Energy Center
Do I need a special license to drive a 15-passenger van to Target Center & Xcel Energy Center?
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 Target Center & Xcel Energy Center?
Yes, in surface lots and oversized-vehicle areas around Twin Cities, 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 Target Center & Xcel Energy Center 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.
