Private Car Service from MSP to Mayo Clinic
If you’re flying into MSP for an appointment at Mayo, the ride south is the part of the trip you have the least energy for. Citywide handles it door to door — pickup at the terminal, drop-off at whichever Mayo building you’re checking into, and nothing shared with anyone else. Eight in ten of our Rochester passengers are patients or travelling with one, so the things that matter to them are the things we’ve built the service around.
What We Handle That Nobody Else Does
The building you actually need. Every Mayo building has its own check-in area, and knowing which one saves a confused loop around downtown when you’re already tired. Gonda, Charlton, Saint Marys — tell us where your appointment is and that’s where we stop. Patient housing too: Gift of Life Transplant House, Hope Lodge, the Ronald McDonald House.
A wheelchair, brought to the car. If you need one, we arrange it at your hotel and again at MSP — out to the vehicle rather than waiting for you somewhere inside. Say so when you book and it’s organised ahead of time.
Stopping when you need to. Unscheduled stops are fine, at no extra charge, and nobody is kept waiting because the vehicle is yours. That’s the difference from a shared van, where stopping means asking seven strangers to accommodate you.
A car set up for the drive. Reclining seats, real legroom, clean and quiet. Your driver will talk if you want the company and leave you alone if you don’t. Ninety minutes of not having to hold yourself together counts for something after a procedure.
Not sharing air. One group per vehicle. If your counts are down or you’ve been told to avoid crowds, this is usually the whole reason people call rather than taking the shuttle.
And for whoever is arranging it. A lot of this travel is booked by an adult child in another state or a spouse handling logistics. You can book on someone’s behalf, and ask for the live GPS link — you’ll see the car reach the terminal, follow the drive, and know they arrived. We send an email the day before confirming the pickup, so nobody is lying awake wondering.

Private, flat-rate transportation from MSP to Mayo Clinic — pickup at the terminal, drop-off at the building you’re checking into, patient housing, or a nearby hotel. One group per vehicle, never shared.
We track your inbound flight, so a delay moves the pickup rather than your plans, and your driver contacts you as soon as you’re on the ground. Wheelchair assistance can be arranged at both ends, unscheduled stops cost nothing extra, and the car is quiet with seats that recline.
Booking for someone else? Reserve on their behalf and ask for the live GPS link — you’ll see the car reach the terminal and follow the drive to Rochester. An email the day before confirms the pickup.
Pricing is flat-rate per vehicle, never per person. Rides between 8pm and 8am are charged at the after-hours rate, higher than daytime — both figures are in the rate table on this page. Fixed numbers, locked when you book.
- Drop-off at the Mayo building’s own check-in area — Gonda, Charlton, Saint Marys, or any other.
- Patient housing included: Gift of Life, Hope Lodge, Ronald McDonald House.
- Wheelchair assistance arranged at the hotel and at MSP, brought out to the car.
- Unscheduled stops at no extra charge.
- Reclining seats, legroom, and a quiet car if you’d rather not talk.

What Does MSP → Mayo Clinic Transportation Cost?
Many travelers prefer flat-rate pricing because it’s predictable for medical visits. Your private transfer is typically
priced by vehicle type and pickup time—not by the number of passengers. Factors that can affect your trip include:
- Vehicle class (basic car, black car, large van)
- Number of passengers traveling together
- Amount of luggage or medical equipment
- Daytime vs after-hours pickup
Citywide keeps pricing transparent and consistent, which is why many travelers choose a
Minneapolis to Mayo Clinic private transfer rather than rolling the dice with surge pricing or long waits.

MSP to Mayo Clinic – Frequently Asked Questions
Which Mayo building will you drop me at?
Whichever one your appointment is in. Every Mayo building has its own check-in area — Gonda, Charlton, Saint Marys, and the rest — and we go to that entrance rather than a general downtown address. We also drop at patient housing including Gift of Life Transplant House, Hope Lodge, and the Ronald McDonald House, and at any Rochester hotel or private address.
Can you help with a wheelchair?
Yes. We arrange wheelchair assistance at your hotel and again at MSP, with the chair brought out to the car rather than waiting somewhere inside. Tell us when you book so it is organised in advance rather than sorted out on the day.
Can I book this for a family member?
Yes, and many people do. You book and pay; we deal with the traveller directly on the day. Ask for the live GPS link and you can watch the car reach the terminal, follow the drive to Rochester, and know they arrived — useful when you are several states away.
What if I need to stop on the way?
We stop, at no extra charge. The vehicle is yours, so nobody else is kept waiting. On a shared shuttle you would be asking seven other passengers to accommodate you, which is why a lot of our passengers stopped taking them.
What is the car like for someone who is unwell?
Reclining seats, real legroom, clean and quiet. Your driver will talk if you want the company and leave you alone if you do not. You are not sharing air with other passengers, which matters if your immune system is compromised or you have been told to avoid crowds.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
We track it, so we already know before you land. Your driver will be waiting whether you arrive on time or three hours late, and your rate does not change. An email the day before confirms the schedule, and your driver contacts you as soon as you are on the ground.
I am coming back for treatment. Can I set up a standing booking?
We ask you to book each trip rather than set up a standing arrangement, so we can guarantee a driver and vehicle for your specific date and time. Call or text when you have the next appointment and we will get it on the schedule.
