Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) rental cars are in the terminal garages. In winter, ask for a car ready for snow.

Book early and pick free cancellation. Rental prices usually rise close to the date, and a free cancellation booking lets you rebook if prices fall.
Compare airport and city pick-up. Picking up at MSP is easiest, but offices in town can be cheaper because they skip airport fees.
