KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Northfield

  • Northfield is a picturesque city located in the southeast part of Minnesota. The town is home to several iconic landmarks, such as the historic St. Olaf and Carleton colleges, the Cannon River, and the Northfield Historical Society. While there are plenty of alternative transport options available, renting cheap car rentals in Northfield offers several advantages that can make your visit to the city much more enjoyable. One of the biggest advantages of renting a car in Northfield is the ability to explore the city on your schedule as buses and taxis typically run on set schedules, which may not work for everyone.

The rental car offices at MSP are located in the Rental Car Center, which is accessible from both terminals via a free shuttle. Rochester Airport (RST) is approximately 65 miles from Northfield and the rental car offices are located on the main level of the terminal building. Saint Cloud Airport (STC) is about 90 miles from Northfield and the rental car offices are located in the terminal building near baggage claim.

During these times, the main roads in and out of town, including Highway 3 and Highway 19, can be congested and slowed down. In addition, the city can experience heavy snowfall during the winter, which can make driving cheap car rentals in Northfield challenging.

I would like to have had the opportunity to complete the rental/purchase online. That would have alleviated the problem of taking an Uber to Hertz for a the pick-up, only to have the lady behind the counter tell me I can't use my credit card because it's also a debit card. I told her it's a credit card and I can run credit....when she holds her finger on my card and very arrogantly say's "seeeee.....it says 'debit' on it", pointing to the word debit, in an exaggeratingly slow voice (just to make sure I got it). Then she sits back down and goes back to Tetris or whatever on her computer and never once even looks back. I simply said "alright, bye"; and her response without another look was "bye!" Good thing there was an Avis right next door; and I won't be making the mistake of going to Hertz again. It wasn't just the poor hire behind the desk; it was the company's entire approach to almost blatantly ensure these types of problems happen.
