Citywide provides private, pre-scheduled Rochester ⇄ MSP airport transportation with flat-rate, door-to-door service between Rochester, MN (including Mayo Clinic and nearby hotels) and Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport (MSP). Every ride is never shared — one group per vehicle, with room for luggage.
After a flight or before a Mayo appointment, the last thing you need is a shuttle schedule or a rideshare that changes the price. Citywide offers a calm, direct Rochester ⇄ MSP transfer with a professional driver and a vehicle reserved only for your group. We plan pickups around your flight and itinerary and provide door-to-door service to Rochester homes, hotels, and Mayo Clinic destinations.
Pricing is flat-rate by the ride, never per person, with no surge charges and no hidden fees. Your price is confirmed before you book and does not change if your flight is delayed or arrives late. See the rate table below for current Basic Car, Black Car, and Large Van pricing.

MSP to Rochester Airport Transportation
Most travelers landing at MSP just want one thing: a reliable ride straight to their destination. Citywide’s Rochester Direct service is built around exactly that — a private vehicle reserved for your group, a driver who knows the corridor, and a flat rate confirmed before you ever get in the car. There are no shared passengers, no extra stops, and no price that changes because traffic was bad.
We run this route every day, which means we know the timing, the terminals, and the quirks of the Hwy 52 corridor in every season. For Mayo Clinic travelers especially, that consistency matters — your driver coordinates around appointment windows and flight arrivals, not the other way around. Whether you’re traveling solo, with family, or with medical equipment, we’ll match you with the right vehicle and get you there directly. Want to understand the cost before you book? The MSP to Rochester pricing page breaks it all down clearly.
What Happens Between Your Flight Landing and Your Front Door
Most of what makes a trip to Rochester stressful happens in the gaps — not knowing whether the ride is confirmed, not knowing where to meet the driver, not knowing whether anyone remembers you’re coming. If you’re arriving for treatment, those gaps matter more than they would on an ordinary trip. Here’s how we close them.
The day before, you get an email confirming your pickup schedule. Not a receipt from whenever you booked — a confirmation the day before, so you know you haven’t been forgotten.
We track your inbound flight. Early or late, we’re there when you land. You don’t need to call and tell us the flight moved; we already know, and your rate doesn’t change because of it.
Your driver contacts you as soon as you’re on the ground — text, call, or WhatsApp, whichever suits you — and guides you to exactly where to meet. MSP is a large airport and the pickup points aren’t obvious when you’re tired. You won’t be wandering with your bags.
For pickups in Rochester, you get a text at least an hour ahead with your driver’s ETA. Useful when you’re checking out of a hotel or finishing at the clinic and want to know exactly when to be downstairs.
You can ask for a live GPS link showing your vehicle — where it is and where it’s heading. Share it with whoever you like. Families tracking a patient’s arrival from out of state use this constantly.
Book one leg or a round trip — the rate is the same either way. A ride booked tomorrow costs what a ride booked a year out costs, and a booking made a year ahead is honoured at that price even if our rates rise in between. The only risk in booking late is availability, not cost.
Reach us however suits you: (612) 315-6080 by phone or text, email, WhatsApp, or the chat window on this site. If you’re coordinating travel for a patient or a family member, we’re used to working with whoever is doing the arranging.
A Route We Know by Heart
The drive from MSP to Rochester follows Highway 52 south — about 75 to 90 minutes depending on traffic and weather. It’s a route our drivers make every day, which means they know it in January ice, Friday afternoon congestion, and everything in between. Your ride is planned around your schedule before you ever leave the terminal, so by the time you’re in the vehicle, the only thing left to do is relax.

Why not take a shared shuttle?
Shuttles are the cheapest option per seat and they run about nine times a day. They also mean sharing a vehicle with five to eight other passengers and stopping at several destinations before yours. For patients arriving for treatment — particularly anyone immunocompromised or recovering from a procedure — that is usually the reason they call us instead.
How does your price compare to a hotel pickup or limo service?
Our daytime basic car rate is the lowest private option on this route — below the roughly $295 several Rochester hotels charge for airport pickup, and below traditional limo and executive car pricing. Our black car service comes in around what hotels charge, if you want the upgrade. In every case you get the whole vehicle and a direct, door-to-door ride. Current rates are in the pricing table on this page.
What if my flight is delayed or arrives early?
We track every inbound flight, so we already know before you land. Your driver will be waiting whether you are two hours late or forty minutes early, and your flat rate does not change either way.
How will I know where to meet my driver at MSP?
Your driver contacts you as soon as you are on the ground — text, call, or WhatsApp — and guides you to the exact pickup point. You will also have an email the day before confirming the schedule, and you can request a live GPS link showing where your vehicle is, which you can share with family.
Can you take me directly to Mayo Clinic from the airport?
Yes. Mayo Clinic drop-offs are one of our most common requests. Your driver will take you directly to whichever Mayo building you need — including Gonda, Charlton, and Saint Marys — as well as patient housing, nearby hotels, or any Rochester address. Just include your destination in the booking notes and we will handle the rest.
Do you offer rides at night or very early in the morning?
Yes. We operate 24 hours a day by appointment, which means 4am pickups, midnight arrivals, and everything in between. This is one of the biggest advantages over shuttles, which often stop running in the evening. See our early morning and late night transportation page for full details.
Does the price change if I book last minute, or well in advance?
No. A ride booked tomorrow costs the same as one booked a year out, and a booking made a year ahead is honoured at that price even if our rates rise in between. One leg or a round trip makes no difference to the rate either. The only risk in booking late is availability, not cost.
Is Citywide a shared shuttle or will I have the vehicle to myself?
Every Citywide ride is completely private. You will never share the vehicle with other passengers, and we do not make extra stops to pick up additional riders along the route. The vehicle, the driver, and the schedule are reserved exclusively for your group from the moment you are picked up to the moment you arrive.
