Top tips for renting a car in Wichita
Traveling or moving to Wichita, KS? Well, before you hit the roads in chilled-out 'Cowtown', consider these top driving tips.
What are the road rules and driving conditions in Wichita?
As well as the general road rules enforced throughout the United States, Wichita has a few notable driving laws to be aware of. For example, the state of Kansas has absolute speed limits, which means you can be penalized for going just one mile over, even when overtaking a slow vehicle. Just like every other US state, Kansas has implemented the Move Over Law, which dictates drivers must change lanes or slow down in the presence of a stationary emergency vehicle with flashing lights on the side of the road. And, while changing lanes in an intersection isn’t technically illegal, unsafe lane changes, as deemed by local police, are.
In Wichita, speed limits are on the average side, starting at 30 miles per hour (mph) in residential streets and some areas downtown. Most urban arterial roads have a speed limit ranging between 30 and 45 mph, whereas interstate limits climb to 75 mph.
Kansas gets cold in winter, with average daily temperatures from December through February ranging from 25 to 35°F (-4 to 2°C). The area also receives snow most winters, and roads can get icy. If you’re visiting during this time, take precautions such as equipping snow chains or tires to ensure safe driving – you can filter vehicles by snow tires on Turo.
Wichita drivers are known to be a bit of a mixed bag, but nothing that a confident driver can't handle. Stay alert on the roads and follow signage and speed limits to avoid any unwanted or dangerous situations, and avoid tailgating in traffic – popular roads like Kellogg Drive and Central Avenue are prone to build-up during peak times.
What is parking like in Wichita?
Parking options in the Wichita downtown area include surface car lots, parking garages, and on-street parking spaces. If you’re headed into the city center for a few hours, or just want to make sure your rental car is safe, a garage is your best bet. Wichita has over 10 publicly accessible parking garages to choose from: try City Hall (455 North Main), Market Street (215 S Market Street), the WaterWalk Garage (333 W Dewey Street), or the Old Town Hotel (215 N Mosley Street).
Prefer to park on the street? Wichita offers a mix of metered and unmetered street spots downtown. Just be sure to check signage for any regulations before you leave your vehicle. You’ll also notice many malls and community buildings have surface lots that are open for public parking.
Are there toll roads in Wichita?
There's just one toll road to be aware of when driving in Wichita, and it's also the only toll road in Kansas. The Kansas Turnpike spans the entire state, running through Wichita, Topeka, Lawrence, and a number of other hotspots. You'll find the toll point on Interstate 35 – so if you're trying to avoid paying tolls, select a route that skips this road. Kansas offers a number of ways to pay your toll, including cash and card on the spot and the state's transponder system, KTAG.
Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Wichita?
As the second-most populous city in the Sunflower State, Wichita's got its fair share of car-based infrastructure, which includes ample gas stations and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. If you're driving a fuel-based vehicle, head to major roads in the downtown area to fill up, like Douglas Avenue, Lincoln Street, and Central Avenue. The most popular outlet is QuikTrip, though you'll find mom 'n' pop shops and other chains scattered around, too.
For a quick charge, EV charging stations are concentrated in the city center or at shopping malls, car dealerships, and commercial buildings. Try the Tesla Destination Charger at the Hyatt Regency if you're staying downtown, or the EVBox at 120 E 1st Street North for more flexibility. There's also a charger at Wichita State University and a handful more in the inner suburbs, including one at Towne East Square.
Do I need to rent a car in Wichita?
While Wichita does have a bus service, its public transit routes are very limited, which has led most residents to rely on driving to get from A to B. Whether you're visiting the area for a week or relocating here long-term, only a car will give you freedom and flexibility. Use Turo to find the perfect vehicle for your needs, from family-friendly SUVs to speedy sports cars, and traverse the Wichita area stress-free.
