KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Independence

  • Car rentals in Independence will provide you with much better access to the sites both in the city and in the surrounding areas. Get to visit the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum for a little history lesson, attend a concert or watch a sports game at the Cable Dahmer Arena, or have a picnic, and feed fish and ducks with the kids at Mt. Whitney Fish Hatchery. Outside the city, you can drive to Sea Life Kansas City Aquarium, which is 10 miles away.
  • Travelers to Independence will find it easy to get rental cars upon landing at Kansas City Airport (MCI). There is a free shuttle provided known as the Grey Rental Car shuttle, which stops at every terminus, and ferries passengers to the rental car offices. These offices are located at 1 Nassau Circle, a short drive from the airport. Here, you can find agencies such as Ace, Alamo, Avis, Budget, and Enterprise.
  • Driving car rentals in Independence is quite simple, especially in the outer areas of the town where the roads are wide, and there isn’t much traffic. However, driving in the city center requires a lot more attention as pedestrians move up and down. Take extra caution when driving on 23rd street and State Highway 291 as these two roads have been flagged as having dangerous intersections. If you are not sure of which roads to use to get around the city, install a GPS to assist you.
  • Even though driving in Independence can be easy, it also comes with certain challenges, especially rush hour during weekdays. In the morning, this is usually between 6:30 am and 7:30 am while in the evening it starts from 5 pm to 6 pm. The I-70 particularly gets congested during the morning rush hour; hence you should avoid using it early in the morning until the congestion clears.
  • Medium rental cars in Independence are around 29% cheaper than other car types, on average
