Why pay for a complete long-distance ride with one company if another transportation option might better fit your budget for the remaining distance?
Taxi Minnesota provides prearranged transportation to a mutually agreed, permitted handoff destination where customers may independently continue with another service.
Choose a suitable open gas station, public parking area, transit location or another lawful public meeting place for your connection.
You freely choose the other transportation company. You make the reservation. You pay that provider. Taxi Minnesota does not book it for you.
Eligible Minnesota-origin pickups · 24-hour prearranged service · Electronic payment before dispatch · Subject to reservation acceptance
