Early Morning & Late-Night Ely to Minneapolis Private Ride Service
Citywide makes early morning and late-night Ely to MSP travel simple, safe, and predictable.
A Private Ride Service for Early Morning & Late-Night Trips
Driving from Ely to MSP in the dark, on little sleep, is stressful. With Citywide, you don’t have to white-knuckle the highway before a big trip. We handle the long pre-dawn or late-night drive while you rest, check email, or simply relax on the way to the airport.
We’ll work backwards from your flight time and suggest a pickup window that gives you time for check-in, security, and a quick stop if needed. Your schedule is the priority—our role is to make sure you arrive on time without feeling rushed.
Choose the Right Ely → MSP Ride for Your Early or Late Flight
For early flights out of MSP, couples and solo travelers often choose our black car service for a quiet, comfortable ride. We pick you up at your Ely location and bring you directly to your departure terminal.
Our basic car service, using clean minivans and small SUVs, is ideal for smaller groups who still want a private, door-to-door ride without paying luxury rates—even at off-peak hours.
Traveling with family, a small group, or extra luggage? Our 15-passenger private van service (usually booked for fewer riders for comfort) offers plenty of room for people, bags, and outdoor gear. Everyone leaves Ely together and arrives at MSP together, no separate vehicles needed.
With Citywide, you don’t share your vehicle with strangers, and you don’t have to match someone else’s schedule. Every Ely → MSP trip is private and built around your itinerary.

Ely → MSP Early Morning & Late-Night – Frequently Asked Questions
What time should we leave Ely for a 6:00 a.m. flight at MSP?
In most cases, we recommend leaving Ely roughly 4 to 4.5 hours before your scheduled departure to allow for drive time, parking/drop-off, check-in, and security. When you request a quote, we’ll help you choose a pickup time that matches your exact flight and season.
Do you run rides in the middle of the night?
Yes. We provide 24/7 Ely → MSP service by appointment, including pre-dawn pickups and very late-night departures. As long as your ride is booked in advance, we can schedule a driver to meet your needs.
Is there an extra charge for early morning or late-night trips?
Our base pricing is Zone 41 flat-rate for Ely. Some extreme off-peak times may include a modest surcharge, which will always be clearly shown in your quote before you confirm your booking.
Can you pick up different family members at multiple locations around Ely?
Yes. We can plan multiple pickups within the Ely area. We’ll factor in the extra time when we set your pickup window and quote your ride, so everyone still arrives at MSP on time.
What happens if my flight time or date changes?
If your flight time changes, contact Citywide as soon as possible. We’ll adjust your Ely pickup when we can, and we use flight-aware tools on the day of travel to monitor departures and delays.
