A minivan or a standard SUV would be ideal if you are traveling in a group as they can fit up to five people and 3-5 bags. If you are making the journey alone, consider hiring an economy car that can carry up to two people and two bags. Economy cars are also perfect for driving around the downtown area where parking spaces might be few or small.

Independence Motorcycle police are always on the lookout for traffic offenders and have set up several speed traps, so be careful not to exceed the limit.

Cons:
Travelers are in a hurry, when we do a Phone SEARCH, MCI rental cars, we actually want to PICKUP at MIC airport. Travelers don't know what street address or zip code is at the downtown location. Then there's no way to call you, you were closed. I better NOT had been charged anything.7.6 Good
Anonymous, Aug 2020
Pros:
The pickup process was very quick. Staff was friendly and helpful. Price was considerably less to pick up at the downtown location vs the airport- $200 less!Cons:
The downtown location didn't have a way to return the rental to them late Saturday or Sunday. I had to pay extra to take it to the airport, less than 1-2 day rental, but still a drag.4.4 Mediocre

the car was dirty, the pick up attendant was short with me, the car was on empty and I had to repeatedly ask him to wipe off spit luggies from the inside of the car, he was hot and in a hurry, very transactional not the proffessionalism I am used to with you guys or other rental companies2.0 Poor
