Since the Kansas City public transportation system follows designated routes, a car rental at Kansas City Airport (MCI) gives you the freedom to travel in a way that you would otherwise not. Whether you are in the city for business or pleasure, a Kansas City Airport car rental gives you the liberty to go where you want, when you want. Most importantly, a car rental comes with a unique sense of privacy that you would otherwise not experience while using public transportation. This is especially important when you are on a romantic gateway in Kansas City. There is simply no more efficient way to get around than with your Kansas City Airport car rental.
A car rental at Kansas City Airport is, without a doubt, the best option to get to locations that public transportation may not reach. Located north of the Missouri River 20 miles from CBD, it takes approximately 22min to travel from the airport to the Kansas City center. St. Louis is a 4h drive from MCI while Wichita and Topeka are located to the west of the airport. To get to CBD, you will need to take I-29 and get to the city center in no time.
Driving from Kansas City Airport can be a challenge, especially for visitors. For starters, Missouri traffic laws require all drivers and their passengers to wear properly fitting seatbelts. Avoid distractions when driving on the Kansas City roads. This means no talking on the phone, reading, or putting on your makeup while driving. In fact, operating cellular devices while driving is an offense punishable by a fine in Missouri. Certain weather conditions like snow can also affect your driving. Always check your tire pressure and thickness to avoid hydroplaning. When driving during the summer months, have your sunglasses on to block out the blinding sun.
Kansas City International Airport is located next to two main highways: I-435 and I-29. I-435 serves as the main highway from Kansas City and connects with I-35 and I-635. If you are driving to the airport from the city center, you can take US 169 for a couple of miles before shifting to US 71. Drivers coming from the northwest can go south on I-29 before taking exit 13 to the airport. And if you are coming from the east, you can take I-70 to exit 13, which will take you straight to the airport. While Kansas City roads are not notorious for heavy traffic, it makes sense to leave early enough to avoid unpleasant surprises that might cause you a delay and possibly a missed flight.

Pros:

Friendly service at the ick-up location; VERY pleased that when I called the 1-800 number to modify my reservation, I actually talked to a real person in under 5 minutes. Overall, Alamo has provided the best rental service that I have experienced in a long time. Will definitely use them again.

Cons:

The Kansas City location required additional photo IDs (fraud prevention). This didn't affect me, but others may need to be aware of the requirement (which was not advertised in advance).

Cons:

Alamo was closed when we arrived in Kansas City. The rental car company to the right next counter over had to handle the paperwork. I had already booked and paid online for an easy pick up. They made us jump through hoops while my 90 year old parents had to wait for us.

Friendly staff and quick once we got to the counter. This is likely because I listen to the questions the previous customers are asked and I am prepared to respond so I can get to my car quicker. Upon return, we gave the counter staff an unopened half case of water because we obviously couldn’t take it on our flight and the staff couldn’t have more appreciative and thankful. Very polite.

Paid for an SUV, ended up with a Malibu. Back wheels out of alignment, very uncomfortable ride. Reverse camera faulty. Seats both had dirt on them…really gross. Clearly had not been cleaned. Chip on windshield - right in frojt of where driver is looking. Mentioned this on the way out. Currently got 3 different charges pending on my credit card from Avis - why? Still don’t have a final bill/email confirmation from them. Zero contact since drop-off 24 hours ago.

Our flight arrived at midnight. I noted this when looking for a car. We were dropped off by the airport transport to the car rental facility in Kansas City. There was NOBODY there in the whole facility. Nobody at Dollar. Nobody at any counter. We sat in what resembled an empty shopping mall for 2 hours with my 83 year old mom in a wheelchair and 4 kids at midnight just trying to find a way out of there. No Uber had space for 7 of us. Customer service at Dollar wouldn't answer the phone. Customer service at Hertz quoted us $357 for 1 day to rent one of their vehicles just to get out of there, just to come back the next morning and get our actual rental, pre-paid for at Dollar. Nowhere in our pre-travel emails did it say that when we arrive there wouldn't be anyone to give us our van. Why would you rent a van to someone who stated they were coming in at midnight when you knew you wouldn't be there to provide? Two security guards and an exit gate attendant at Alamo working graveyard helped us as much as they could to get us out of there. We finally were able to snag a van with Alamo for $140 for the night just to get to a place to stay for the night. We had to drive an hour back the next day, on Easter mind you, to get our Dollar rental. Drop off was fine and the vehicle was fine and the manager on duty was able to help with some compensation which was appreciated. Travelers be warned however, vehicle rental past 6pm at KC airport with Dollar or Hertz will leave you stranded and alone.

They tried to slip in an extra $80 charge for my car. When I asked them what it was for and attendant named Ashley made me wait for 30 minutes to speak to her supervisor. When I finally get to the supervisor all he did was make stupid dad jokes about how his day was going. He called me into his office, did not invite me to sit down, and spent 10 minutes determining that he has no idea what Ashley was doing. When I asked if this was of any concern— That his employees are just charging customers, large sums of money with no Justification, he just stared at me., And aggressive. Never go with her. Every couple years I Go with them because of a low price, and I get reminded why this is such a shitty company.

I reserved an Economy car, I got an SUV, I paid over $26 more in fuel than I wanted. If they can't provide the car reserved they should not advertise they have one so I could have moved onto another company. You should not support companies that cannot provide what has been requested.

Pros:

The counter was closed prior to the scheduled closing time. We were unable to pick up our rental under this reservation and had to check nearby counters that were still open to try to find an available rental. The entire fiasco ended up costing us more than double the original reservation. How will we receive compensation for the unacceptable incompetence?

Cons:

You could have remained open until your scheduled closing time or at least until our scheduled pickup. We called ahead once the plane was on the ground and no one ever picked up despite it being 15 minutes prior to our reservation.
