KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Bemidji

  • Driving car rentals in Bemidji is a great way to see this city tucked around Lake Bemidji in the center of Minnesota. In Bemidji car rentals, you can get around town according to your own schedule, seeing the people and places that you want to see when you want to see them. You can take in the local sites, such as Headwaters Science Center, Beltrami County History Center, and Paul Bunyan Animal Land. Car rentals in Bemidji give you the freedom to drive west into North Dakota, southeast into Wisconsin, or north into Canada.
  • Less than 5 miles from Bemidji downtown, the Bemidji Regional Airport (BJI) is a great place to get car rentals in Bemidji.

However, Bemidji does see more traffic than usual on the road during peak rush hours between 7:30 am and 8:30 am and between 4 pm and 5:30 pm. Summer tends to see more congested traffic, especially on the weekend, due to tourists visiting town to enjoy the outdoor recreational opportunities afforded by Lake Bemidji.
  • Every year, the amount of snow that Bemidji gets is about twice the national average.

If you find yourself driving in what has become a whiteout, cautiously pull to the side of the road and wait until visibility is better.
