What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Kansas City?

Where can I find a Downtown Kansas City car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Downtown Kansas City, we recommend reading the policies of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be surcharges if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To escape any nasty surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Downtown Kansas City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
