Driving tips for Kansas City
When you rent a car in Kansas City, you grant yourself the freedom to explore to your heart’s desire. These recommendations will help your trip go even more smoothly:
- Traffic patterns: Kansas City is one of the least congested cities for driving in the US, meaning you may not have to deal with much traffic. Just remember, little traffic is different from no traffic and be sure to change lanes cautiously, especially downtown.
- Watch for pedestrians: Kansas City may not have many cars, but you’ll find plenty of pedestrians and cyclists downtown. Be sure to share the road, don’t drive in bike lanes, and always give them the right of way.
- Interstate travel: Kansas City, MO, is famously on the state border with Kansas City, KS. Ask about SIXT interstate rentals to make the most of your trip.
- Road conditions: Kansas City’s roads can present challenges during winter storms, particularly because of the numerous bridges. Keep in mind that bridges may freeze and become slippery before surface roads, so extra caution is advised.

Good to know when renting in Kansas City, MO
Yes. SIXT places a temporary hold on your credit card at pickup for the amount of the deposit. For payments with debit cards, please refer to our rental information for more details about deposits. The amount depends on the location and vehicle. Please check for more details on payment information in this article.
In the U.S., generally a minimum of $200 will be charged to the payment method for security purposes. The deposit for high-value vehicles may be higher. Non-airport locations in Texas, Colorado, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Illinois have higher minimum authorization amounts. Additional details on the deposit can be found in this article.
Reservations are by vehicle category (“or similar”), not by an exact model. When a "guaranteed model" option is shown for your dates and location, selecting it reserves that specific model. Otherwise, you’ll receive a comparable car in the same group with similar size and performance subject to availability.
The exact mileage policy for your booking is shown during the reservation process, so you’ll know what’s included before pickup.
Vehicles rented at most SIXT locations in the contiguous United States may be driven throughout the contiguous states. Travel into Canada must be in accordance with our geographical restrictions, which can be found in our rental information. Travel to Mexico is not allowed. If you drive outside authorized areas, a fee of $0.50 per mile will apply.
All renters and authorized drivers must present a valid, unexpired, original driver’s license at the time of rental. Renters with a non-U.S. driver's license may also need to provide a valid passport or other government-issued ID. Licenses in non-Roman alphabets (e.g., Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Cyrillic) must be accompanied by an international driver’s license. If the license is from a country not in the international driver’s license treaty, an official translation is required. See our rental information for full driver’s license and age requirements.
