About Renting a Car at Coon Rapids Center

Coon Rapids is located in Anoka County, about 20 km north of Minneapolis Center along the Mississippi River. With 1 rental company in the center, the selection is limited, but the location along Highway 10 and I-694 makes it accessible for northern suburban residents. Coon Rapids Dam Regional Park and the Mississippi River offer nature experiences right in the city.

Coon Rapids borders Anoka to the north and Brooklyn Park to the south, with easy access to I-694 and Highway 10. Coon Rapids Dam, which spans the Mississippi, is about 3 km from the center and is a popular tourist destination. From here, it's about 25 km to Minneapolis Center and 35 km to MSP Airport.

Book early since there's only 1 rental company - availability may be limited during peak season. Alternatively, you can compare prices in nearby Blaine (10 km) or Brooklyn Center (12 km) for more options. Drive along Mississippi River Boulevard for a scenic drive south toward Minneapolis.

Why is there only 1 rental company in Coon Rapids? Coon Rapids is a suburb without a major commercial aviation hub, which limits demand. Blaine and Brooklyn Center have more options if you want to compare.

How far is it from Coon Rapids to Minneapolis Center? About 20 km and approximately 20-30 minutes via I-694 and I-94 or Highway 252. Can I pick up the car in Coon Rapids and return it at MSP Airport?
