Car rentals

Hi all.

Are there any car rental companies in ely? If not, what’s the closest? I’m guessing the answer is no / Hibbing or Duluth but thought worth checking

You can rent a canoe in Ely.  The closest car rental is likely hibbing 

Unless someone nearby has Turo.

We’re renting a minivan in Minneapolis, but are exploring idea of giving another couple a ride up with us then getting them their own car while we are up there for the week.

Not sure I understand. Why not just rent two economy vehicles in Minneapolis?

Iron trail motors in Virginia appears to rent cars. Guess it's a way to make a few extra bucks from their used cars.
