KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Kirkwood

  • Visiting Kirkwood, Missouri, United States will entertain you with plenty to do. As home to decades-old Kirkwood Farmers' Market, the city is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, making it a must-explore location if you visit Missouri. But it would help if you had a reliable and flexible transportation to discover several hidden gems. Kirkwood car rentals offer the most comfortable and convenient means to adventure the city and nearby destinations. Places worth exploring include Club Taco, Gateway Arch National Park, Forest Park, Missouri Botanical Garden, and Mod Pizza.
  • Several airports serve flights to Kirkwood, but the nearest major ones are Lambert-St. Louis International Airport (STL) and MidAmerica St. Louis Airport (BLV) are about 18 and 38 miles from the city center. Consider getting car rentals in Kirkwood at the airport to leap into adventure immediately after landing. If you arrive at STL, the car rental counters are adjacent to the southern end of the airport. They are at the lower level of Terminal 1 between exit doors 12 and 17. Travelers who opt for BLV can find car rental desks in the airport building close to the baggage claim. Enterprise, Avis, Budget, and Hertz are the common agencies.
  • Generally, driving in Kirkwood is a safe and enjoyable experience, thanks to the well-established road and less impatient drivers. Residents generally abide by traffic regulations and drive on the right in Missouri. To this end, observe all the traffic rules in the city. The city implements a zero-tolerance drinking and driving policy. Drivers are legally drunk if their blood-alcohol concentration is more than 0.08 percent. Therefore, remain sober to avoid convictions for DUI. It also keeps you and other road users safe.
  • Like other cities in Missouri, Kirkwood experiences considerable traffic congestion during peak travel hours. Despite well-developed roads, the city experiences heavy traffic during rush hours because many residents and tourists access the city with private vehicles, leading to brimming streets with cars.
