Top tips for hiring a car in Kansas

  • For a trip to Kansas, it’s worth considering the factors that might come into play when you rent a car. If you’re traveling in the winter months, you will likely see bouts of snow, including ice storms, so you should think about renting an SUV or larger vehicle with a four-wheel drive. If you don’t have it already, most agencies offer the option to have GPS in the vehicle; this will help you get around the state. Kansas has many toll roads, so depending on your route, you might want to ask if a toll pass is available with the rental.
  • Kansas, like many US states, has strict laws regarding child car seats. Infants to age one must be in an infant seat, and the child must face the rear. Children 20 pounds or more may sit facing the front, but must have the appropriate seat strapping requirements. Older children eight and up can sit in a front-facing booster seat with shoulder and waist belts. Children should use a booster seat for as long as possible until they can safely use adult seatbelts. Most car-rental agencies offer child seats with the rental, so ask the company about this before you pay.
  • Most Kansas rental-car agencies permit travel across borders, but it’s a good idea to get all the rules and procedures before you travel to make sure your trip is well organized. There might be extra rental charges or higher insurance required to drive across borders. To travel into Mexico, for example, many agencies require additional insurance. Some do not allow certain vehicles like luxury cars or larger trucks to cross borders. Be sure to let the car-rental company know you intend on crossing a border, or you could violate the rental agreement.
  • Since Kansas is a large, rural state, if you plan on an extensive road trip across the state, it’s a good idea to know routes and toll roads. Many rental agencies offer toll cards or passes that make travel easier, and it’s often cheaper. Kansas has a network of highways and byways that intersect the state, and these are in excellent condition, with clear exit signs and road signs. The state’s 12 byways make driving a rental car a pleasure, and I-70 bisects the state east and west, taking you to all major highways north to south.
  • Book your car hire in Kansas at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Kansas are around 73% more expensive than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in Kansas

  • Should I hire a car in Kansas?

    Renting a car in Kansas is a wonderful way to see the entire state because you can get to locations that are impossible to reach with other modes of transportation. The state’s 12 byways take you through scenic and historic areas, which will make your trip memorable. Renting a car for a Kansas road trip is a popular move, and there are dozens of points of interest to explore, such as Clinton Reservoir State Park and Wildlife Area and the many Heritage Areas.

  • What is driving like in Kansas?

    Driving in rural Kansas is much like other rural Midwestern states like Iowa or Illinois. Motorists are often on road trips to particular destinations, and you won’t see the frenzied driving typical of the larger metropolitan areas. Travelers in Kansas are in no hurry to get to where they’re going, and it’s reflected in the driving style. You’ll notice at the rest stops that people are friendly and helpful. The Kansas roadways are clean and well maintained and have organized exits and other road signs.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in Kansas?

    To get a rental car in Kansas, drivers must be at least twenty one years old and must present a valid driver’s license. Most car-rental agencies charge a young driver’s surcharge for drivers under twenty five. This fee is different at each agency, so if a young driver needs a car, it’s a good idea to research the options. These daily fees can add up quickly.
