For Journeys that Matter
LUXY Ride is a pre-arranged black car service for Minneapolis, and your fare appears before you confirm.
LUXY connects you with a professional chauffeur through our partner network, and your assigned chauffeur's details are sent before your trip. Book it for an MSP arrival, a day of sessions at 1301 Second Avenue South, or a client dinner downtown, and set up a business account when a whole team is traveling. Pickup details arrive with your booking confirmation, and a ride home is booked as a separate trip.
Business in Minneapolis
Meetings, Hotels, and Headquarters
The Minneapolis Convention Center is at 1301 Second Avenue South, and it's the largest meeting and convention facility in Minnesota. There are 10,000 hotel rooms in its compact, walkable downtown, with 4,500 of those rooms connected to the Convention Center by skyway. That leaves the airport arrival as the main leg for a visiting team to plan ahead.
Business travel here reaches past the meeting hall. 17 Fortune 500 companies are headquartered in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region, including UnitedHealth Group, Target, Best Buy, U.S. Bancorp, 3M, General Mills, and Ameriprise Financial. These are regional headquarters, so the office a visitor needs may be anywhere in the metro. Enter the address when you book and you see your fare before you confirm.
If your company sends several people to Minneapolis, a LUXY business account keeps the team's rides in one place.
Getting around
Getting Around Minneapolis Without a Car
For the trip in from the airport, the METRO Blue Line light rail connects passengers to a number of downtown stops. However, the line does not go directly to the Minneapolis Convention Center, which it puts a 16 to 20 minute walk from Nicollet Mall or Government Plaza.
That is where a booked ride fits. Skyway hours end for most buildings at 6pm on weekdays, and the rail line stops short of the Convention Center, so a pre-arranged ride can cover the gaps between a hotel, a meeting, and dinner. Your fare appears before you confirm, and a ride back is booked as its own separate trip.

Got questions?
We Have Answers
How do I get around Minneapolis without a car?
Combine the skyways and the METRO Blue Line downtown, then book a ride for the legs they do not cover. The skyways link about 80 city blocks and most connected buildings are open until 6pm on weekdays. It lists five downtown Blue Line stops. For evenings, weekends, or the Convention Center, book ahead and your fare appears before you confirm.
Does the Blue Line go to the Minneapolis Convention Center?
Not directly. Meet Minneapolis's airport guide says the line does not go directly to the Convention Center, which it puts a 16 to 20 minute walk from Nicollet Mall or Government Plaza. To skip that walk, enter 1301 Second Avenue South as your pickup or destination when you book, and your fare appears before you confirm.
How far is MSP from downtown Minneapolis?
MSP is less than 15 miles from downtown Minneapolis. Enter your hotel or office address when you book and you see your fare before you confirm. Pickup details arrive with your booking confirmation.
How many downtown hotel rooms connect to the Convention Center by skyway?
4,500 downtown hotel rooms connect to the Minneapolis Convention Center by skyway. A room on that list still leaves the airport arrival to plan. Book your MSP pickup in advance, and flight tracking adjusts your pickup timing if your flight lands early or late.
Can I book rides for colleagues arriving on different MSP flights?
Yes, book each arrival as its own pre-arranged trip by entering the pickup, destination, date, and time. Flight tracking adjusts pickup timing for each airport pickup, and each fare appears before you confirm. A company can also set up a business account at luxyride.com/corporate-program to keep a team's rides together, and each return is booked as a separate trip.
