Welcome to Fargo International Airport!

As the primary gateway for travelers heading to Fargo in North Dakota, the bustling terminal of Fargo International Airport (FAR), also known as Hector International Airport (FAR), is conveniently located just 5 km (3 miles) west of downtown. While Fargo may be a relatively small city, its regional importance makes the airport a vital hub for both domestic and international travelers. Fargo International Airport is a regional base for Delta Air Lines, providing convenient access to dynamic Minneapolis, a city known for its sparkling lakes, vibrant arts scene, and thriving music culture back-dropped by the mighty Mississippi River. Need a greater number of global connections? Consider the larger hub of Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) around 370 kilometers (230 miles) drive away. Fargo is a perfect starting point for visitors exploring the scenic delights of the State of North Dakota, in the northern part of the country, bordered by Canada to the north, the State of Minnesota to the east, the State of South Dakota to the south, and the State of Montana to the west. Whether you're arriving for business, family trips, or to enjoy the great outdoors, North Dakota has abundant vast prairies, undulating rolling hills, and rugged landscapes. Once you arrive at Fargo International Airport, renting a car is a great option to explore the surrounding areas. The airport’s car hire center is conveniently located right outside the terminal, offering a range of rental options from trusted car hire companies such as Avis, Enterprise, and Budget. Whether you need a compact car for a quick trip around the city, an SUV for road trips through North Dakota’s rugged landscapes, or a minivan for family travel, Fargo International Airport has a vehicle for your upper Midwest adventure.


Driving Fargo

Fargo, with its mix of cultural attractions, outdoor activities, and vibrant downtown area, makes for an excellent base for exploring North Dakota and its neighbouring states. Once you have your rental car, there are plenty of exciting destinations just a short drive away. First enjoy Fargo’s buzzing downtown area where you’ll find trendy shops, restaurants, lively bars, and cultural institutions like the Fargo Theatre. Stroll the streets or enjoy a meal at one of the local eateries while soaking in the city’s youthful energy. To learn more about the history of the city, head to Fargo-Moorhead Visitors Center (10-minute drive) to see a fine collection of exhibits on local history, the famous "Fargo" movie, and the region’s rich cultural heritage. Next, enjoy the 30-minute drive to Buffalo River State Park, a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts with miles of scenic hiking trails, wildlife viewing, and fishing opportunities in the blissful quietude of nature . Located in downtown Fargo, the Plains Art Museum is just a 5-minute drive away and offers a wide range of exhibits showcasing regional and contemporary art and lots of information on the vibrant local arts scene.


The State of North Dakota is known for its beautiful landscapes, from wide-open prairies to rolling hills and scenic byways. With your rental car, you’ll be able to go further afield to enjoy some of the state’s best sights at your own pace. One such sight is known locally as the “Highway of Legends,” and the route of the Scenic Byway – North Dakota’s Highway 2 - takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes and natural beauty of North Dakota. Further on, the Theodore Roosevelt National Park (4-hour drive) is famous for its breathtaking views of the Badlands and ample opportunities for hiking, wildlife viewing, and camping. It’s a scenic and peaceful getaway from Fargo.



A 3 hour scenic drive to Lake Sakakawea, one of North Dakota’s largest reservoirs, is another wonderful road-trip and offers spectacular views and opportunities for fishing, boating, and relaxing along the water. Fargo is conveniently located near the border of Minnesota, so it’s easy to venture into neighbouring states for day trips or weekend getaways too. Right across the river from Fargo, the city of Moorhead in Minnesota is home to a range of local attractions including the Historical and Cultural Society of Clay County. You’ll also find excellent shopping and dining options. Known as the Twin Cities, Minneapolis-Saint Paul is a 3.5 hour drive from Fargo and offers an array of attractions, including the Mall of America, the Walker Art Center, and numerous cultural and outdoor activities.

*Hassle-Free Desk: The dreaded moment when the rental company hits you with upsells, extra inspections, or credit card dramas—turning what should be a quick pick-up into a drawn-out negotiation.


Third-Party Protection: What you need to know
Some companies might call it 'Full Protection' or 'Premium Protection', but we're here to tell you the facts.
Third-party protection does cover you fully against damage costs, just like our best product. However, the rental desk experience? That's still going to be the same as if you'd picked the basic option.
What is Third-Party Protection?It's an independent coverage that protects you from damage costs the rental company could charge. It works well but doesn't change how things go down at the rental desk.If you're interested in third-party protection, Rental Cover is our preferred partner. You can learn more or purchase coverage directly by visiting their website.
What is expected at the Rental Desk:Even with third-party protection, you'll still face the usual desk drama—deposits, credit card holds, and those upsell attempts. While you're financially protected, the hassle at the desk doesn't go away.We believe in keeping things clear: while third-party protection covers you well, the customer experience remains basic.
The Role of the Car Rental Company:Rental companies insure their cars, and they need you to either buy their protection or leave a deposit. Third-party protection takes care of the financial risks, but the rental company still holds the cards at pick-up.Want to avoid the hassle entirely? Read more about our Best Protection, which keeps both your wallet and your rental process smooth.
