  1. Uber and Lyft are great options as once you arrive at the hotel you will not need additional transportation (unless you want to go downtown for dinner on your own nights). Rates Vary based on availability
  2. Rent a Car - If you want to explore more of Kansas City, this may be your best option. https://flykc.com/
