How to read this guide:
The good-day figures are approximate
published driving times from MSP Airport,
not guaranteed transfer durations.
The snow-day ranges are illustrative
planning examples based on substantially
slower travel, not measured historical
averages or live weather forecasts.
Actual driving times depend on route,
traffic, visibility, snow accumulation,
ice, road treatment and road closures.
In dangerous conditions, postponement
may be necessary regardless of schedule.
Airport processing is additional.
The numbers above start from the airport
driving route and do not include
deplaning, customs, baggage claim,
vehicle loading or waiting for a driver.
Example: Arriving on a clear afternoon
Your flight lands at MSP
and your destination is Le Center.
A typical drive is about
1 hour and 11 minutes
after leaving the airport.
If you're meeting family,
attending an event or
checking into a hotel,
allow extra time beyond
the driving estimate.
Example: Arriving during a snowstorm
The same MSP-to-Le Center
drive could take approximately
two hours in an illustrative
snow-day scenario,
even before airport
and pickup delays.
That estimate is not a prediction.
Heavy snow, ice or road closures
may cause longer delays
or make travel unsafe.
Don't find out at MSP Airport
that your winter ride wasn't arranged.
Flights can arrive while local roads
are slippery, snow-covered or
temporarily restricted. A long-distance
ground transportation request
requires advance planning.
Landing at MSP at 9 p.m.?
Snow in the forecast?
An ordinary one-hour drive
may stretch considerably
when visibility deteriorates
and traffic slows.
An unreserved driver
might not be available
after your late flight.
Book ahead.
Confirm the destination,
pickup instructions,
luggage and reservation terms.
Even an accepted reservation
may be affected by severe
weather or road closures.
Safety takes priority.
