Car hire at Springfield-Branson Airport

When deciding on the best rental car for you, consider how much storage space you need, how much you want to spend and how much you're planning on travelling. If you're mainly going to be doing smaller commutes and you have fewer passengers, a Compact or Economy class vehicle should suit you. They're also the most affordable. If you need more storage space or you're planning cross-country trips, we recommend hiring one of the standard or luxury SUVs on offer.

The majority of car rental companies at the airport have a 'fair fuel policy' which generally means you will need to return the car with the same amount of fuel as when it was picked up. These fuel policies vary between a quarter, half or full tank. You may also find options that allow you to be in control of your fuel consumption where you'll pick the car up close to empty and fill up when needed. To save on potential hidden costs, don't rely on the car company to fill the vehicle and charge you.

As the person who purchased the rental, you will need to produce a valid driving licence that you've held for a year or more, as well as a photo ID in the form of a passport or ID document, and a valid credit card. You may also be asked to produce your reference details sent through by KAYAK. Some companies require proof of address for security purposes, so carry this with you to be safe.
