If you are primarily driving in downtown Kansas City, you will likely find it convenient to opt for a smaller car, such as an economy model or a sedan. Smaller vehicles are usually easier to maneuver throughout tight streets and traffic, and they also come in handy if you need to park in a small space. If you will be visiting with a larger group of people or going on a longer drive, it is usually best to rent a large vehicle instead, like an SUV or a van.

When driving on a rural interstate or freeway, the maximum speed limit is generally 70 mph. If you are driving on an urban freeway, the speed limit is typically 65 mph. In residential areas, there is usually a maximum speed limit of 40 mph, but it may be as low as 25 mph. When around schools or construction sites, the speed limit is usually either 20 mph or 25 mph.

Downtown Kansas City is known for having plenty of public parking to choose from. You can find both free street parking and metered spaces. There are also numerous free and paid parking lots and structures that are available. Many private entities, like hotels, shops, and restaurants also have their own private parking that is available for customers. In other neighborhoods outside of the city center, you are likely to find quite a bit of free street parking, and it is usually easier to find a free space, as it is less busy than downtown.
