Client Testimonials


Prompt service and reliable company, our chauffeur Dan was very courteous and friendly. Our limousine was really nice and very clean. We hired them for our wedding and after our experience we have recommended Twin Cities Car Service to all of our friends. The best limo service in Minneapolis!Thank you again.


Michael Walker

Great car service! This was the first time I used Twin Cities Car Service for airport transportation and it was a pleasure...the Town Car was in perfect shape, good driver and very safe ride.


Helen Taylor

Extremely professional from the first minute I booked the limousine. Their fleet of vehicles is one of the best in Minneapolis. Very few transportation companies have personalized services with a pleasant attitude and Twin Cities Car Service is one of them. I really appreciated the easy booking process and the pricing was affordable. Thank you for making my trip stress-free and allowing me to relax while in transit to my business meeting.
