Can I drive into Canada with a rental car from Minneapolis?

There are some car rentals in Minneapolis that allow you to cross both the Canadian and Mexican borders. The only requirement for crossing the Canadian border using Minneapolis rental cars is to inform the company before renting their vehicle. Once accepted, they will issue you with a Canadian non-resident coverage card, indicating that your vehicle is insured and can operate freely across Canada. This service is free. However, not all vehicles are available for traveling across the border. For example, you can only rent an economy car rental, while a large passenger van rental or an electric car rental will not be available. Crossing into Mexico isn’t allowed in many Minneapolis car rentals. The few that allow will require you to purchase additional Mexican auto insurance before allowing you to rent their vehicle.

Can you rent a rental car in Minneapolis without a credit card?

Car rentals in Minneapolis provide several modes of payment. However, only credit and debit cards can pay the initial deposit while getting cheap car rentals in Minneapolis. Credit cards are the most preferred mode of payment, and many rental companies accept them. Major credit cards such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover Network are accepted at car rental locations in Minneapolis. The credit card name and the renter’s name should be matching, and you should provide your driver’s license along with your credit card. Debit cards are also accepted. However, only those with MasterCard and Visa logos can make a deposit. In addition, the renter must be at least 25 years old, and their name must appear on the debit card. Other forms of payment, such as cash, can only be used to clear up any balance at the end of your rental period.

You will be required to present your foreign driver’s license bearing a colored photo of yourself. The driver’s license should be unexpired and remain so for the entire rental period. If it is in a foreign language with the Latin alphabet, an International Driving Permit can be used for translation purposes but is not required. If the license is in a language that doesn’t use the Latin alphabet, the driver is required to present their license alongside the International Driving Permit. Photocopies and electronic copies of driver’s licenses will not be accepted.
