Recent Kansas City car rental reviews
National ran out of cars as they overbooked for events and did not honor my reservation. First time on Turo and I looked up a host with good ratings before committing. As expected, he was a good communicator and delivered the car to me. The gas tank wasn’t full, more like 7/8 but I am sure he would not have made a fuss if I returned 7/8 but I filled it up anyway. All good.
Good communication and easy pickup. Host was accommodating and clear. Car was clean and detailed. The phone holder in car made hands free easy, and use of phone GPS a breeze. My departing transportation was unexpectedly delayed, and host allowed extension of my reservation - life saver. I highly recommend transactions with this host. Thank you!
The car drove very good and it is a gas saver. Tyler is amazing, he has great communication skills and will respond quickly to any questions that you may have for him. Thanks Tyler, it was a great trip.
What an amazing person with this being my first time on Turo, he walked me through step-by-step It was very professional and very responsive. If I had any questions I highly recommend him and will definitely choose him again for my next rental Thank you for allowing me to use your vehicle.
Car drove smooth the customer service was great I will recommend anybody to him I be back soon
I needed to rent a car on a last minute basis due to my car being broke down. So I got on TURO. Looked up a car to rent that was affordable and clean and Tyler answered the call. Tyler was very professional and very helpful and answered all of my questions even after I returned the car. Just remember to take pictures before and after your trip inside and out of the car as well. My first time with Turo and Tyler was great. Pick Tyler for the win !!

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 adventures.
Kansas City road rules and driving conditions
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 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, the 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.
Parking in Kansas City
Parking in Kansas City, KS is generally more accessible than in larger downtown districts across the state line. The Legends area and Kansas Speedway offer expansive event parking, though rates may vary during major events. Around local parks and neighborhoods, street parking is typically available, but always check posted signage. If you're staying at a hotel near Village West, confirm whether parking is included with your stay.
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, which links you toward Topeka and Wichita. It's worth planning your route ahead so tolls don't catch you by surprise.
Gas stations and EV chargers in Kansas City
Gas stations are conveniently located along major corridors like I-70, I-435, and State Avenue. If you're driving an electric vehicle, you'll find charging stations near The Legends district and other commercial centers throughout Wyandotte County. Before heading out for a longer trip toward Topeka or Wichita via the Kansas Turnpike, it's smart to plan your fuel or charging stops in advance.
Do I need to rent a car in Kansas City?
Public transportation options in Kansas City, KS are limited, especially if you're planning to explore shopping districts, sporting venues, or surrounding outdoor areas. Renting a car gives you the flexibility to move between attractions, cross into Missouri if you'd like, or take a road trip across Kansas — all without depending on rideshare availability or fixed bus routes.
* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host's vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. In the US, liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host's vehicle.
For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host's vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.
