Rochester, Minnesota · Since 1988
Gold Crown Limousine has been driving Rochester since 1988. A chauffeur meets you at MSP or Rochester International Airport, takes you to your hotel or your Mayo Clinic appointment, and is there again when it is time to head home. One reservation covers the whole trip, and you can reach the Rochester office by phone any hour of the day.

Our most-driven route
The drive from Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport to Rochester runs about 80 miles, and it is the route we drive most. Your driver tracks your flight, so a late landing at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 does not turn into a missed pickup. Bags go in the back, you sit down, and the next stop is Rochester.
Shared shuttles run on a timetable. A private car runs on yours. If your flight lands at 11:40 at night, the car is there at 11:40 at night. If you are traveling with someone who tires easily, nobody waits for a van to fill up.

For patients & families
Many of our passengers are coming to Rochester for care, often from another state and often for the first time. Booking a ride before you leave home removes one decision from a stressful week. Tell us your arrival time and which Mayo campus you are headed to, and we plan the pickup around it.
Drivers know the downtown campus, Saint Marys, and the Methodist campus well enough to drop you at the right entrance instead of the nearest curb. Families can ride together, caregivers can sit beside the patient, and a driver will wait while you check in when you ask for that. Details live on the Mayo Clinic transportation page.

Service area
Rochester is home base, and the service area stretches across southeastern Minnesota, western Wisconsin, and northern Iowa. A ride to La Crosse, a pickup in Winona, or a run down to Mason City is a normal booking, not a special request. See the regional transportation page for the full list of towns.
Airport and Mayo Clinic rides are easiest to fit in when you call a few days ahead, and out-of-state visitors often book weeks in advance. Short-notice requests are welcome, too. If a car is free, the office will tell you so on the phone and quote the ride on the spot. If nothing is open, you hear that right away and can plan around it instead of waiting for a callback.
Rates depend on the route, the vehicle, and the time of day. As a guide, rides to or from MSP start at $275, to or from Rochester International (RST) at $100, and to or from Signature Aviation at $140.
You describe the trip, the office quotes it, and you decide. There are no surprise charges after you ride, and cancellation terms are shown before you confirm a reservation online.
