MSP to Rochester Hotels | Mayo Area Drop-Offs
Where you stay in Rochester matters more than most visitors realise. Downtown hotels connect to Mayo through the subway and skyway system, which in February means getting to your appointment without going outside at all. Hotels further out mean a walk or a shuttle in whatever the weather is doing. We drive to all of them — but if you’re still booking, it’s worth knowing which side of that line your hotel falls on.

Private, flat-rate rides from MSP to Rochester hotels and patient housing near Mayo Clinic. Door to door, one group per vehicle, dropped at your property’s actual entrance rather than a shuttle stop.
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. Unscheduled stops on the way cost nothing extra — a pharmacy run before you check in is common enough that we expect it.
Mobility: none of our vehicles are wheelchair accessible, and every passenger needs to be able to get into and out of the vehicle with help if required. We carry folding wheelchairs, provide a step stool, and have a walker available.
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 and locked when you book.
- Any Rochester hotel, extended-stay suite, or patient housing.
- Gift of Life, Hope Lodge, and Ronald McDonald House included.
- Moves between properties during a long stay, not just airport legs.
- Inbound flights tracked; unscheduled stops at no extra charge.
- Folding wheelchairs carried; step stool and walker available.
- Pet-friendly in every vehicle, at no additional charge.

Getting to Your Hotel from MSP
We drop at the entrance of whichever property you’ve booked — Kahler Grand, the Marriott, Aspen Suites, DoubleTree, Hilton Garden Inn, the extended-stay suites, or anywhere else in Rochester. Door to door, no shuttle transfer at the end of a long travel day.
Patient housing too. Gift of Life Transplant House, Hope Lodge, and the Ronald McDonald House are regular stops for us, and they aren’t on most hotel lists.
Extended stays. If you’re in Rochester for weeks rather than nights, people often move between properties partway through — a hotel for the first stretch, then somewhere with a kitchen. We handle those moves as well as the airport legs.
Tell us the hotel name when you book, not just the street. Several Rochester properties have entrances that aren’t where the address suggests, and the difference matters when you’re arriving tired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Rochester hotels do you drive to?
All of them. The three we run to most are the Kahler Grand, the Hilton Mayo on East Center Street, and the Marriott Mayo Clinic on 1st Avenue SW. Beyond those: Aspen Suites, Broadway Plaza, the Berkman, Centerstone Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Hyatt House, Kahler Inn & Suites, DoubleTree, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Even Hotel, Staybridge, Springhill Suites, Candlewood, Courtyard, Residence Inn, TownePlace Suites, Brentwood Inn, and the rest. We also serve patient housing including Gift of Life Transplant House, Hope Lodge, and the Ronald McDonald House.
Does it matter which hotel I pick?
For getting there, no — we drive to all of them at the same rate. For what happens afterwards, yes. The Kahler Grand, Hilton Mayo, and Marriott Mayo Clinic all connect to the clinic underground, so you can reach appointments without going outside. In a Minnesota January, between appointments, that is worth more than most people realise when they are booking the room from another state.
Can we stop on the way to the hotel?
Yes, at no extra charge. A pharmacy or grocery stop before checking in is common and nobody is waiting on you — the vehicle is yours. Additional pickup or drop-off locations are a different thing and quoted separately.
We are staying for weeks. Can you move us between properties?
Yes. Long Mayo stays often involve moving partway through — a hotel at first, then somewhere with a kitchen. We handle those moves as well as the airport legs. Book each trip when you know the date so we can assign a driver and vehicle.
What 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. Your driver contacts you as soon as you are on the ground and meets you at the exit nearest your baggage claim.
