KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Leavenworth

  • If you are unfamiliar with Leavenworth, using Leavenworth car rentals to explore the city comes with many advantages that you may not get from the other road transport means in the town. Car rentals in Leavenworth grant flexibility to explore the area at your own pace, avoiding reliance on public transportation. With easy accessibility, you can conveniently access nearby natural landscapes and outdoor activities. Leavenworth car rentals save time and provide independence, allowing you to navigate the city and visit attractions efficiently. Renting a car offers comfort, cost-effectiveness, and the opportunity to familiarize yourself with local roads and driving culture. With car rentals, you can visit Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum and Icicle Ridge Winery.
  • If you visit Leavenworth, you'll likely land at Kansas City Airport (MCI). MCI is approximately 19 miles from Leavenworth and has several rental car companies you can choose from. After landing at MCI, leave the Baggage Claim and head to where the Shuttle Buses are waiting. Go up one level via the escalator or elevator when you get to the Rental Car Facility. Please visit the Alamo counter to pick up your rental agreement and car keys. You can also check the airport’s website to get the best deals and reserve a rental car even before the flight.
  • When driving rental cars in Leavenworth, keeping a few key points in mind is essential. Firstly, it's crucial to understand that Leavenworth enforces stringent seat belt and child car seat regulations for the safety of everyone on the road. Always ensure that you and your passengers are properly buckled up, and that children are securely fastened in suitable car seats. Exercise caution regarding pedestrians, who may unpredictably step onto the road. Remain vigilant near crosswalks, particularly around schools and densely populated areas, and be ready to yield when required.
  • Although driving car rentals in Leavenworth is an exciting experience, you'll like to experience some challenges, like heavy traffic conditions during peak hours. Morning rush hour in Leavenworth typically goes from 7 am to 9 am, while evening rush hour is from 3 pm to 7 pm. If you must travel during these hours, consider avoiding the major commuter routes in Leavenworth, like Chumstick Highway and Icicle Road. Narrow streets in Leavenworth and limited parking spaces can add to the difficulty of maneuvering through the town center.
  • Book your car hire in Leavenworth at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Full-size hire cars in Leavenworth are around 15% more expensive than other car types, on average

Friendly staff and quick once we got to the counter. This is likely because I listen to the questions the previous customers are asked and I am prepared to respond so I can get to my car quicker. Upon return, we gave the counter staff an unopened half case of water because we obviously couldn’t take it on our flight and the staff couldn’t have more appreciative and thankful. Very polite.

Paid for an SUV, ended up with a Malibu. Back wheels out of alignment, very uncomfortable ride. Reverse camera faulty. Seats both had dirt on them…really gross. Clearly had not been cleaned. Chip on windshield - right in frojt of where driver is looking. Mentioned this on the way out. Currently got 3 different charges pending on my credit card from Avis - why? Still don’t have a final bill/email confirmation from them. Zero contact since drop-off 24 hours ago.

Poor experience. I was quoted a price and ended up paying more than said price, even though I didn’t add extra packages, extend the duration of rent, get fined, or incur any damages to the vehicle. The associate at pickup location didn’t even inquire about third party insurance and went ahead to include their insurance with no proper explanation, which I “canceled” at that point, but it seems that it wasn’t after all.

Pros:

The counter was closed prior to the scheduled closing time. We were unable to pick up our rental under this reservation and had to check nearby counters that were still open to try to find an available rental. The entire fiasco ended up costing us more than double the original reservation. How will we receive compensation for the unacceptable incompetence?

Cons:

You could have remained open until your scheduled closing time or at least until our scheduled pickup. We called ahead once the plane was on the ground and no one ever picked up despite it being 15 minutes prior to our reservation.

Our flight arrived at midnight. I noted this when looking for a car. We were dropped off by the airport transport to the car rental facility in Kansas City. There was NOBODY there in the whole facility. Nobody at Dollar. Nobody at any counter. We sat in what resembled an empty shopping mall for 2 hours with my 83 year old mom in a wheelchair and 4 kids at midnight just trying to find a way out of there. No Uber had space for 7 of us. Customer service at Dollar wouldn't answer the phone. Customer service at Hertz quoted us $357 for 1 day to rent one of their vehicles just to get out of there, just to come back the next morning and get our actual rental, pre-paid for at Dollar. Nowhere in our pre-travel emails did it say that when we arrive there wouldn't be anyone to give us our van. Why would you rent a van to someone who stated they were coming in at midnight when you knew you wouldn't be there to provide? Two security guards and an exit gate attendant at Alamo working graveyard helped us as much as they could to get us out of there. We finally were able to snag a van with Alamo for $140 for the night just to get to a place to stay for the night. We had to drive an hour back the next day, on Easter mind you, to get our Dollar rental. Drop off was fine and the vehicle was fine and the manager on duty was able to help with some compensation which was appreciated. Travelers be warned however, vehicle rental past 6pm at KC airport with Dollar or Hertz will leave you stranded and alone.

Getting from baggage claim to Payless terminal had to stand in long lines to get on the bus. The customer service agent was very nice and friendly. We ended up getting an electric car, but never told us about what charging stations we could use being not familiar with that type of electric car and where the charging stations were a big problem wasted a lot of time during our driving experience, trying to find chargers that would work.

The van drove nice for our trip. Check out and your damage app along with lot attendants were horrible inadequate and completely useless. After pointing out additional damage unseen by sixt to the rental van before even starting it. I had to wait to get attendants over to document the damage I pointed out that wasn't on your damage list. Was told after their pictures that I was good to go. While returning the van....attendant told me I was good to go mr brian and assured me the "new damage" I'd pointed out 10 days earlier was on his app. Imagine my surprise 3 days later when sixt sent me a bill invoice email for $1505.00 to repair the "t-bone" damage I pointed out to them! Remit by sept 25th....Outrageous!!!! Didn't sleep at all that night. RUINED MY VACATION VIBES IMMEDIATELY!!! After 2 separate phones calls I got ZERO explanation from sixt or an apology. Was just passed on to another automated phone system until all offices were closed for the day. The next day I spoke to an emotionless drone at sixt claims department and had 9 separate photos and time and gps tagged that I was still in their lot with damaged vehicle at tge ready... I may get an attorney for reimbursement of my rental and vacation as well as emotional distress. Zero stars and would NEVER recommend or rent from sixt again!!! Way to run off a guy about to retire with lots of trips planned✊👈 I believe that they tried this on me because they were so inept at previous check in when van was damaged....they sent me a bill just to see if I'd pay like some idiot would. Corporate greed met it's match.

The check in was quick and very easy, the staff member helping was fantastic and had recommendations for dinner in the area. The car was brand new and clean and had that new car smell. Return was as easy as check in and the staff was friendly and helpful then as well. All around a great experience.

The agent I worked with at the counter when picking up the vehicle was excellent, and I am sorry, but I don't have her name handy. Hopefully, you all can see that from the paperwork and will give her kudos, as she did a fantastic job and was super friendly and helpful. She is a valuable asset to your company. I watched her work with the customers before me, and they left with the same sense of gratitude that I had when I finished working with her. Especially after the day I had been traveling.

Showed up after a 30 minute delayed flight, no one at the counter to assist. Actually have a clerk at the counter that can assist during later hours. Or, if you're going to partner with another rental agency and defer your customers to their desk, make sure that desk is staffed. Avis did and was able to match your rate and earn my future business.
