Minot (MOT) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Minot International (MOT) Airport

Flights into Minot arrive at the top of North Hill, two miles above downtown, where winter wind off the prairie makes the walk to a parking lot feel endless. Our North Dakota airport limo service puts a licensed chauffeur inside the terminal before your Delta, United or Allegiant flight touches down, with your name on a board at baggage claim and a warm vehicle waiting curbside. Union Limousine has arranged chauffeured airport transfers since 1997, and we bring that same discipline to every pickup and drop off at Minot International Airport.

Whether you are reporting to Minot Air Force Base, heading to a drilling site west of Stanley, returning home to Burlington or Surrey, or arriving for the North Dakota State Fair, we handle the ride from the moment you land until your door. Fixed quotes, live flight tracking and a fleet that scales from a single sedan to a 56 passenger motorcoach mean you book once and stop thinking about ground transportation.

Why Travelers Across North Dakota Rely on Our MOT Airport Limo?

Minot is the third busiest commercial airport in North Dakota, yet it still runs on a small city rhythm. Taxis are scarce after the evening Denver arrival, rideshare drivers thin out once the weather turns, and the city bus does not reach the terminal at all. A reserved chauffeur removes every one of those variables. You tell us your flight number, and we do the rest.

• Chauffeurs monitor inbound flights and adjust pickup times for early arrivals, weather holds and gate changes at no extra charge.
• Complimentary wait time after landing so you can collect checked bags without watching the clock.
• Inside terminal meet and greet with a name sign near the baggage carousel on the lower level.
• Quotes are locked when you book, so a snowstorm, a late flight or a busy Høstfest weekend never changes your price.
• Child seats, extra luggage space and accessible vehicles arranged in advance on request.
• Every chauffeur is background checked, commercially insured and trained for North Dakota winter driving.

Flight Tracking and Terminal Meet and Greet

Our dispatch team watches every inbound aircraft to MOT in real time. If your Minneapolis connection is held for deicing or your Allegiant flight from Las Vegas lands twenty minutes early, your chauffeur already knows. You will not stand outside in January searching for a car, and you will not pay for the hour a delayed flight cost you. Pickups happen inside the terminal, where your chauffeur greets you by name, helps with bags and walks you to a vehicle idling at the covered curb.

Fixed Pricing for Every Pickup in North Dakota, ND

Surge pricing is common at small airports when two flights land close together. We quote one all inclusive figure that covers the chauffeur, the vehicle, tolls, fuel and standard wait time. The number you approve is the number you pay, whether the ride ends at a hotel on South Broadway, a farmstead near Velva or a hotel in Williston three hours west.

Who We Serve at Minot International Airport?

The passenger mix at MOT has a character all its own. Military orders, oilfield rotations, agricultural business and two of the largest festivals in the Upper Midwest all funnel through one terminal. Union Limousine builds vehicle and chauffeur assignments around each of those travel patterns.

Minot Air Force Base Arrivals and Departures

About ten miles north of the terminal, Minot Air Force Base is the only installation in the Air Force that hosts two legs of the nuclear triad on one property, with the 5th Bomb Wing flying Stratofortress bombers and the 91st Missile Wing operating 150 Minuteman III launch facilities across northwest North Dakota. Thousands of airmen, families, contractors and visiting officers pass through MOT on permanent change of station moves, temporary duty orders and holiday leave. We coordinate pickups with gate access rules, carry duffel bags and household items in SUVs or Sprinter vans, and run early morning departures for 5 AM flights without fail.

Energy, Agriculture and Corporate Travel in the Souris Valley

Minot sits on the eastern edge of the Bakken oil patch and at the center of some of the most productive durum wheat and canola country in the United States. Crew supervisors flying in from Houston through Denver, grain buyers visiting elevators along US 2 and executives calling on Trinity Health or Minot State University all need dependable transportation that keeps a schedule. Our sedans and SUVs carry you to Stanley, Kenmare, Garrison, New Town or Watford City with Wi Fi, bottled water and a chauffeur who knows which county roads drift shut first.

North Dakota State Fair, Norsk Høstfest and Event Weekends

Each July, the North Dakota State Fair fills the fairgrounds on Burdick Expressway East with nine days of concerts, rodeo and carnival crowds, with the 2027 edition set for July 23 through 31. In late September, Norsk Høstfest brings the largest Scandinavian festival in North America to the same grounds. Hotel rooms vanish during both events, and airport taxis cannot keep up with the volume. Groups arriving for concerts, 4H competitions, Y's Men's rodeo weekends or Minot State University homecoming reserve Sprinter vans, party buses and North Dakota airport charter bus rental vehicles so everyone leaves the terminal together and arrives together.

Long Distance Transfers Beyond Minot

Many passengers choose MOT because of its Allegiant leisure routes or its Delta and United schedules, then continue well beyond Ward County. Our chauffeur service in North Dakota covers Williston and the Bakken, Bismarck and Mandan, Devils Lake, Grand Forks, Rugby, Bottineau and the Canadian ports of entry at Portal and Dunseith. Long transfers are quoted flat, with one chauffeur and one vehicle from curb to destination, so a two hour drive after a long flight becomes the most restful part of your trip.

Our Fleet for Minot International (MOT) Airport Transfers

Every vehicle in the fleet is late model, detailed before each trip and equipped for North Dakota conditions. Union Limousine matches the vehicle to your party size, luggage count and the roads you will travel, so you never pay for empty seats or run short on space.

Luxury Sedans (Up to 3 Passengers)

Executive sedans suit solo business travelers, couples and anyone who wants a quiet ride into downtown Minot, the Dakota Square area or the base. Leather seating, climate control and room for two large suitcases plus carry ons.

Luxury SUVs (Up to 6 Passengers)

Full size SUVs are the workhorse of winter airport transfers. Families, small crews and travelers with ski bags, hunting gear or extra luggage ride comfortably with all wheel drive confidence on icy approaches to the terminal.

Stretch Limousines (Up to 20 Passengers)

Stretch limousines turn an airport pickup into an occasion. Wedding parties flying in for ceremonies at Scandinavian Heritage Park, milestone birthdays, proms and VIP guests arriving for Høstfest headliner shows ride with bar service, mood lighting and premium sound.

Sprinter Vans (Up to 14 Passengers)

Executive Sprinter vans carry mid size groups with standing headroom, individual captain seats and generous luggage bays. They are ideal for incoming military families, corporate teams heading to the Bakken and tour groups bound for Lake Sakakawea or the International Peace Garden.

Party Buses (Up to 30 Passengers)

Party buses bring wraparound seating, onboard restrooms on select models, premium audio and LED lighting. Bachelor and bachelorette groups, rodeo fans and reunion parties book them for airport arrivals that roll straight into the celebration.

Mini Charter Buses (Up to 35 Passengers)

Mini coaches move sports teams, church groups and conference delegations from MOT to hotels, Minot State University or the fairgrounds with reclining seats, overhead storage and undercarriage luggage compartments.

Full Size Charter Buses (Up to 56 Passengers)

Full size motorcoaches handle the largest arrivals, including military unit movements, agricultural tour groups and multi day itineraries across the state. Restrooms, climate control, Wi Fi and power outlets keep passengers comfortable from Minot to Medora or Fargo.

Minot International (MOT) Airport Information

Minot International Airport is owned and operated by the City of Minot and sits at 305 Airport Rd, Minot, ND 58703, on the crest of North Hill roughly two miles from the downtown core. The information below reflects conditions as of late 2026 and is intended to help first time visitors plan their arrival.

History and Regional Importance

Aviation in Minot traces back to a 20 acre airstrip on the southern edge of today's property, once known as the Port of Minot, that opened in the late 1920s. The airport grew with the city through the postwar years, and a terminal built in the late 1980s served the community until the Bakken oil boom pushed passenger counts past anything the old building was designed to handle. Planning for a replacement began in 2011, construction broke ground in September 2013 and the new terminal welcomed its first 5 AM departure on Leap Day, February 29, 2016, with a formal dedication that May. The former terminal was demolished in November 2016. Today MOT is the primary commercial gateway for north central North Dakota, supports Customs and Border Protection processing for general aviation arrivals from Canada and anchors an airfield with two runways: a 7,700 foot primary runway with ILS capability and a 6,351 foot crosswind runway.

Airlines Operating at MOT

Three airlines and their regional affiliates serve Minot. Delta Connection, flown by SkyWest and Endeavor, links MOT with Minneapolis St. Paul several times daily and has been the airport's anchor carrier for decades. United Express, operated by SkyWest, connects Minot with Denver on a multiple daily schedule that expanded in 2025 before United trimmed western North Dakota capacity for summer 2026. Allegiant Air provides nonstop leisure flights to Las Vegas and Phoenix Mesa on a twice weekly pattern that varies by season; the carrier's former Sanford Orlando route has been discontinued.

Domestic Destinations

• Minneapolis St. Paul (MSP) with Delta Connection, offering connections across the Delta network and to Europe and Asia.
• Denver (DEN) with United Express, opening connections throughout the western United States and beyond.
• Las Vegas (LAS) with Allegiant Air, year round nonstop service on a reduced seasonal frequency.
• Phoenix Mesa (AZA) with Allegiant Air, serving winter travelers headed for the Valley of the Sun.

Terminal Information

The single passenger terminal covers about 125,000 square feet across two levels, which made it the largest terminal in North Dakota when it opened and roughly four times the size of the building it replaced. Ticket counters, TSA screening, baggage claim and rental car counters occupy the lower level, with gates, concessions and the Trestle Tap House restaurant and bar upstairs. The terminal was built with six gates, a children's play area, free wireless internet provided by SRT, in seat charging at most waiting areas and a service animal relief area. Airport administration is on the second floor, where lost and found items are held. The entire project cost roughly $92 million, funded through a mix of federal, state and city sources.

Passenger Traffic

Minot recorded 177,797 passenger boardings in 2025, up 4.9 percent from 169,472 in 2024, as North Dakota's eight commercial airports topped 1.3 million boardings for the first time. The airport's all time peak remains 224,421 boardings in 2012 at the height of the oil boom, and total passenger throughput exceeded 301,000 in 2023. Boardings softened in early 2026, down about 13.5 percent through April, largely because Allegiant reduced Las Vegas and Phoenix Mesa frequencies and ended Florida service. On a typical day the airport handles around eight scheduled departures, with the heaviest traffic on Sunday evenings and Monday mornings when base personnel and energy workers travel.

Parking Overview

Over 1,400 parking spaces sit a short walk from the terminal doors, managed by LAZ Parking under rates approved by the Minot City Council on September 21, 2026. Short term parking costs $1 for under an hour, $5 for one to three hours, $8 for three to six hours and $14 for six to 24 hours. Long term parking is $12 per day or $84 per week. The economy and long term lots include 110 volt plug ins on a first come basis, a welcome feature when January temperatures drop below zero. Payment is accepted by credit card, Apple Pay, the LAZGo app or online reservation, and cash can be paid at the LAZ machine beside the baggage carousel. Cards that require a PIN cannot open the lot gates, so the airport recommends a same day online reservation for those travelers.

Pick Up and Drop Off Guidance

The curb directly in front of the terminal is reserved for active loading and unloading only. Vehicles must remain attended, and anything left unattended is subject to ticketing or towing. Drivers meeting a flight who wish to wait should use short term parking. Chauffeurs with a commercial ground transportation permit stage in the designated commercial area and pull forward to the curb once passengers have their bags, which is why a prebooked limo keeps you out of the cold and out of the parking lot entirely.

Ground Transportation Options

Taxi availability at MOT is limited. Central Cab remains the most consistent local operator, and some hotel courtesy vans serve the terminal, but the airport advises calling ahead for late night arrivals. Uber and Lyft operate in Minot with a small driver pool that shrinks sharply in winter and during the fair. Minot City Transit runs fixed bus routes Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 7 PM out of the downtown transfer center at 205 1st Street SW, but no route stops at the airport terminal and there is no weekend service, so the bus is not a practical option for flight connections. Souris Basin Transportation offers a daily intercity run to Bismarck and door to door paratransit, and Amtrak's Empire Builder stops downtown. Rental counters from the national brands operate in the baggage claim hall.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Dress for the walk outside even in October; the terminal sits on an exposed hilltop and wind chills arrive early.
• Baggage claim, rental cars and ground transportation are all on the lower level, so follow the signs down after deplaning.
• Mobile coverage is strong at the terminal, but call or text your chauffeur before you reach the carousel so the vehicle is at the curb when you step out.
• If you are continuing to the base, allow time for gate processing and have your orders and ID ready.
• Plan ahead if you arrive during the State Fair or Høstfest; Visit Minot keeps an updated lodging list and the Scandinavian Heritage Park, Roosevelt Park Zoo and Dakota Territory Air Museum are all within a ten minute drive of the airport.
• Check North Dakota road conditions before any trip west on US 2 or north on US 83 between November and April.

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Beats Taxis and Rideshare at MOT?

At a large hub, a rideshare app will usually find a driver. At Minot, the driver pool is small enough that a single delayed flight can leave twenty passengers tapping their phones at the curb with no cars available, and winter surge pricing can double a fare to downtown. Taxis require a phone call and a wait, and most cannot carry a family's luggage or a crew's gear. A reserved chauffeur eliminates the uncertainty. The vehicle is assigned to you alone, the price is fixed before you leave home, the chauffeur tracks your flight and meets you inside, and the ride continues to Williston, Bismarck or the border without a second booking. For military families on a moving timeline, business travelers billing hours and visitors who have never driven a prairie highway in February, that certainty is worth every dollar of the fare.
