Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

If you want to check out all that Wichita and maybe even the rest of Kansas offers, you are going to want unlimited miles. You won't have to worry about extra charges if you decide to drive all over Wichita. Review the fine print to make sure your mileage is actually "unlimited."

Tips before you leave the lot

Be sure you check out a few items before you leave the rental lot on your Wichita adventure. It's important to:

• Inspect your vehicle and make certain there is no dents or scrapes. If so, mark it down on the paperwork
• Check the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and wipers
