Top tips for renting a car in Kansas City
Renting a car in Kansas City is the perfect way to explore this lively Midwestern hub at your own pace. Whether you're cruising downtown or headed out to the surrounding Kansas and Missouri countryside, having your own wheels opens up a world of Missouri adventures.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Kansas City?
Midwest manners generally keep Kansas City roads pretty civil, but it’s always wise to keep your wits about you, especially on the fast interstate lanes of I-70 and I-435. Local speed limits shift between 25 miles per hour (mph) in residential areas to 70 mph on highways, so no pedal-to-the-metal attitudes here unless you want a souvenir speeding ticket. And remember, Missouri weather is about as predictable as a barbecue competition — it could go from sunny to stormy without warning, so winter drivers, keep an eye out for ice.
Where can I park in Kansas City?
Downtown Kansas City isn’t short on good eats and places to hang, but parking? Now that’s where the hunt begins! Near hotspots like the Power & Light District and the Country Club Plaza, it can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. Your best bet might be a garage if circling the block isn’t your thing — here are a few potential options (be sure to double check):
- KC Live Garage on 151 E. 13th St
- H & R Block on 1301 Main
- 13th & Walnut Garage on 1220 Walnut St
- West Bottoms Garage on 1601 State Line Rd
- 11th & Cherry Garage on 10th and Locust St

If you’re staying overnight, check with your hotel for parking details.
Are there toll roads in Kansas City?
Kansas City itself is pretty toll-free, but venture west, and you’ll run into the Kansas Turnpike. This baby links you up with Topeka, Wichita, and the like, and she doesn’t take IOUs. Pack some cash and a K-TAG, or get ready for a bit of an “I should’ve planned for this” moment at the toll plaza.
Where are there gas stations and EV chargers in Kansas City?
You can barely throw a barbecue rib without hitting an EV charger in KCMO. The same goes for gas stations, which are plenty of around the George Brett Super Hwy and W 6th St.

Pro tip: map your charging stops near your favorite BBQ joint, so your rental car and stomach get filled in one smooth move.
