KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Lee's Summit

  • Getting a car from one of the car rentals in Lee's Summit is one of the best decisions you can make when visiting the city. With a car, you'll have the flexibility and freedom to explore whatever attractions you want to see, both inside and outside of the city, at your own pace. There is simply no more efficient or better way to get around town, especially if you plan on attending a Kansas City Chiefs game at Arrowhead Stadium, which is approximately 20 miles from Lees Summit. You can also drive a few miles from the city center to Lake Jacomo, a sizable reservoir for boating and fishing.
  • Renting a car at Kansas City International Airport, the primary airport serving Lee's Summit is relatively simple because major car rental companies service the airport. You can take the gray car rental shuttle bus, which stops at terminals A, B, and C every few minutes and transports passengers to the off-airport car rental facility. This off-site car rental facility offers a diverse selection of vehicles to meet your requirements. Booking a Lee's Summit car rental ahead of time can add comfort and convenience to your arrival.
  • Even though driving your rental car in Lees Summit is not that demanding, you must be cautious of traffic lights, as most are equipped with cameras to catch speeding and reckless drivers. Keep an eye out for commuters and cyclists who fail to yield the right of way, putting you in danger. Jaywalking is not a common occurrence in the city, but one can never be too cautious. Even though Lees Summit is not far north, it still has some harsh winters with snowy and icy roads. As a result, if you visit during the colder months of the year, you should be prepared for wintery weather.
  • Lee’s Summit traffic jams can be severe, especially given the city's proximity to Kansas City. Nobody wants to be stuck in rush hour, and with a little planning, nobody has to be. Morning rush hour in Lees Summit lasts from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., then resumes in the afternoon at around 5:00 p.m. and lasts until 7:00 p.m. The I-35, I-70, and I-435 are particularly congested and should be avoided at all costs during these times. Congestion may worsen in the winter as the snow on the roads can accumulate to a couple of inches high.
  • Book your car hire in Lee's Summit at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Lee's Summit are around 47% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

Ryan was very easy to deal with. Knew what he was doing and the entire process took just a couple minutes.

Cons:

Probably out of their control, but a place to leave our car while renting the van would have been helpful.

I booked a Nissan Rouge fir 10 days. I received an email confirming my reservation. When we called the next day to let them know we'd be late, they said we were going to call you and cancel you as we don't have a mid sized SUV. Then I was made to feel it was my fault that they didn't have the SUV as they are very hard to come by and just because I booked it doesn't mean I'll get it. Apatently, I booked it in too short of notice, and since there are only 2 guys running the Lee's Summit area, my expectations were unreasonable. They did offer a mid sized sedan,but I declined as I wanted a mid sized SUV. I ended up canceling my reservation but they still charged me for insurance and damage protection. Now I have to dispute the charges. What a mess.

The fact that I specifically reserved a tesla and was given a Volvo c40 with less range than a Tesla made my rental very inconvenient.

The car was in rough shape; the fender was falling off during our trip. We had to upgrade and pay an extra $25 per day for a banged up car. I didn't get a good deal with Hertz.

The location was convenient to my house. The staff was discourteous and seemed to try hard to find anything additional they could charge for.

Cons:

Hertz needs to have dedicated staff to clean vehicles, not making their office staff do double duty with cleaning cars and running the rental counter. Employee there seemed extremely stress, couldn't blame him. Also, car I rented was not clean inside or out. Had to clean it myself. Extremely long wait times to pick up and drop off.
