Top tips for hiring a car in Missouri
- Characterized by the spectacular Ozark Mountains, as well as lakes, caves, and the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, there are tons of things to see and do in the Show-Me state. Whether you are traveling for business or leisure, Missouri car rental services give you the opportunity to travel around the state at your convenience. Before you make any moves, you need to familiarize yourself with the rules of the road in Missouri. Both the driver and front-seat passenger must wear seatbelts while driving in the state. All children under four years old must be buckled in a safety seat with an appropriate security system. Driving under the influence is a serious offense in Missouri, with penalties varying from license suspension to fines, and even jail terms for repeat offenders.
- Winters come with heavy precipitation and snow in Missouri, and road conditions may not be ideal when cold weather strikes, especially in the cities. Thus, it is important that you rent a car equipped for the weather you expect to encounter. Exercising caution on the road while driving is vital, and where possible, consider avoiding driving altogether when weather conditions are too extreme. Also, keep in mind that in cities like St. Louis, different areas have their own approach to dealing with snow. Some roads may be plowed to remove the snow, making streets narrower. Some areas might salt their roads to maintain drivability.
- Missouri is not known for having many toll roads. In fact, the only toll road in the state is the Lake of the Ozarks Community Bridge. If you plan to drive on this toll road, you should know that you’ll need to have cash ready for the payment. Credit cards and tag transponders are not accepted on this toll road. Traffic jams can intensify on Missouri roads, especially in the major cities during peak hours (7:00 - 9:00 am and 5:00 - 7:00 pm). You might want to avoid the cities during these peak hours.
- Book your car hire in Missouri at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Therefore, it’s important that you exercise caution when driving in the state. Winter can be an especially difficult time to drive in Missouri, since Missouri sees its share of snow. Always make sure that the vehicle you’re planning to rent is equipped with a first-aid kit, small shovel, small sack of sand to use for traction if your vehicle becomes stuck, necessary medications, and sleeping bags. You may have to supply some or all of these items yourself.
