Weston, MO

Just a 40-minute trip away, Weston is home to the nation’s oldest continually operated whiskey distillery. It’s also a charming small town and one of the most beautiful in Missouri. Hike along the Missouri River in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, then taste fresh goat cheese at Green Dirt Farm.

Lawrence, KS

Another charming town is Lawrence, where you can explore the Spencer Museum of Art, the KU Natural History Museum, and the Baker Wetlands. But for many, the real attraction is the Museum of Odd, which houses quirky treasures like Bob Barker’s toothbrush and Elvis’ underwear.

Topeka, KS

In Topeka, you can learn about the Supreme Court case that ended school segregation. History buffs will also enjoy the Kansas Museum of History and Old Prairie Town, while daredevils will love the Evel Knievel Museum: where you can learn about the legend and do a virtual reality jump.

Best Kansas City driving roads

Purple squiggle

Blue River Road

For a leisurely, forested drive, head south from downtown to catch this road that hugs the river and winds through a park. Keep an eye out for birds, as many different species make their homes in the trees that shadow this road.

Flint Hills National Scenic Byway

This winding drive is like a trip to the past, revealing a landscape that’s changed very little from century to century. A great place to stop is the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve, which boasts a ranch, bison, and beautiful views of the tallgrass prairie.

Glacial Hills Scenic Byway

Follow the official route of Lewis and Clark on this historic drive from Leavenworth to northeast Kansas. Winding through valleys and rolling hills left behind by ancient glaciers, you’ll pass some of the first towns settled by pioneers along the Missouri River.

Frequently asked questions in Kansas City

What do I need to book a car on Turo?

To book a car on Turo, you must create a Turo account, be 18 years old or older with a valid driver’s license, and get approved to drive on Turo. When you’re booking your first trip, you’ll go through a quick approval process by entering your driver’s license and some other information. In most cases, you’ll get approved immediately, and you’ll be set for future road trips, business trips, and family vacations!

Do I need my own insurance?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to book a car on Turo. If you do have your own insurance policy, the liability insurance issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company included in the protection plan you select will supplement your existing coverage.*

What protection plan options are available on Turo?

When booking a car on Turo, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier, Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of coverage that’s right for you or decline coverage in some cases. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance provided under a policy from Travelers — up to $750,000 for the Premier plan.*

What types of cars can I book in Kansas City?

Browse a wide selection of vehicles for all kinds of occasions and budgets on Turo, whatever your preferred type of vehicle. Find a full-size SUV for a family road trip, a pickup truck for some errands, or a sporty convertible for a special night out in Kansas City. For the lowest prices, use the “budget-friendly” filter to browse economy rides and budget vehicles.

How can I drive unlimited miles during my trip to Kansas City?

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

What payment methods does Turo accept?

Turo accepts most credit cards issued by major financial institutions, including American Express and Discover cards, as well as debit cards with a Visa or Mastercard logo that are linked to a checking account.

Apple Pay and Google Pay on mobile devices are also accepted, but Turo does not accept cash or checks as valid payment methods.

What is the cancellation policy for guests on Turo?

You can cancel and get a full refund up to 24 hours before your trip starts. If you book a trip with less than 24 hours’ notice, you have one hour after booking to cancel free of charge. If you cancel after the free cancellation period ends, you will be charged a small cancellation fee.

What are the cleaning and safety policies on Turo?

Under the enhanced cleaning policy, hosts are required to clean and disinfect their vehicles thoroughly before every trip, so you can feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. Turo hosts have access to training materials on enhanced cleaning practices, using the latest recommendations compiled from the CDC, EPA, WHO, and vehicle detailing experts, to help prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Is Turo a rental car company?

No. Unlike rental car companies, Turo is a peer-to-peer car sharing marketplace where you can book directly from trusted local car owners in the US, Canada, and the UK. Turo does not own any vehicles — Turo hosts share their own personal cars and set their own prices, discounts, vehicle availability, and delivery options.

Are there cars available near the Kansas City airport?

Yes, there are hundreds of cars available on Turo at locations near the Kansas City airport. After arriving at the Kansas City International Airport or Charles B. Wheeler Downtown Airport, skip the rental counter and have your car rental alternative delivered for pick-up and dropoff at your Kansas City hotel or the address of your vacation rental to save time and hassle. When traveling to or from your flights, you can also use a hotel shuttle service if you’re early for your pick up time.

Is there a fee to add additional drivers to my trip?

There is no fee or additional charge for adding a driver to your trip on Turo. Only the guest who booked the trip (primary driver) can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add authorized drivers before your trip starts, though guests in the US and Canada can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress with no extra charges.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

What’s the best way to get to the Kansas City Convention Center?

The best and most convenient way to get to the Kansas City Convention Center is by booking a car on Turo, so you can get to and from the convention center on your own time. The convention center is conveniently located in central Kansas City, not far from Legoland and the National WWI Museum and Memorial.
