Pickup near or at Airports
Before driving in Kansas City, MO, it’s helpful to understand the lay of the land, including local laws and top tips for navigating the roads.
When driving in Kansas City, MO, follow standard Missouri road rules: travel on the right-hand side of the road, obey signage, wear a seatbelt at all times, and stick to speed limits. These are typically 25 to 30 miles per hour (mph) in residential areas, followed by 35 to 45 mph on major city roads, and 60 to 70 mph on highways like the I-35, I-70, and I-435.
It’s illegal to use a hand-held device while driving, under the Siddens Bening Hands-Free Law— always place your phone in a cradle or use Bluetooth to enable GPS. You should only use the left-hand lane on a road for passing slower vehicles in Missouri.
Kansas City’s roads are generally well-maintained and easy to drive on, making navigation around the area straightforward. Traffic can build during weekday rush hours, especially downtown and near major interchanges, but congestion tends to be mild compared to larger US cities.
Missouri winters can get snowy and icy, so if you’re visiting during this time, take precautions like slowing down, using your headlights, and selecting a vehicle with winter-ready or all-season tires.
Parking in Kansas City is relatively easy and affordable. There are a number of parking garages and car lots downtown that make accessing tourist destinations and office buildings convenient, such as the 1213 Main Street Garage, the 11th and Oak Garage, and the Sky on Main Public Parking Garage (913 Baltimore Avenue). Street parking is common in neighborhoods like Crossroads and Westport — look for signs displaying costs (if any) and time limits.
No, there are no toll roads in Kansas City, MO. All major highways and city routes are toll-free, making driving around the metro area simple and cost-effective, whether you’re here for a quick visit or live in KC long-term.
However, if you plan on crossing into Kansas from Missouri and visiting nearby cities like Topeka and Wichita, you may drive along the Kansas Turnpike. It runs along sections of the I-35, I-335, I-470, and I-70. As the Turnpike is fully cashless, we recommend you plan ahead by chatting with your host on the Turo app.
Gas stations are easy to find throughout Kansas City, with plenty of options both downtown and along major roads. If you’re fueling up near the city center, consider the Conoco at 500 E 10th Street, or the Phillips 66 at 211 E 6th Street. You’ll also notice gas stations located in clusters along the I-35, I-70, and US-71.
EV charging infrastructure is steadily growing across Kansas City, particularly in commercial hubs and public parking areas.
