What age do you have to be to rent a car in Wichita?
Typically, the age limit for car rentals in Wichita is 21—the same as it is across the rest of the USA. Additionally, many suppliers charge an extra fee if you are under 25. Be sure to read over the rental agreement to figure out what the exact price is before you reserve your rental.
Will I need insurance to get a car rental in Wichita?
Most countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to purchase temporary insurance with the rental car company. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout. Many credit cards (American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover) will offer coverage. But many of them have restrictions, like not covering large vehicles like trucks or SUVs. Make sure to call and find out what kind of coverage is offered before you travel to Wichita.

Most rental car companies provide you a full to full tank policy. At CarRentals.com, we recommend returning your car topped off. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before returning the rental car.
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
