Kansas City car service rates & pricing
Kansas City car service starts at $100/hr for executive sedans, $120/hr for First Class SUVs, and $170+/hr for our flagship S-Class — 3-hour minimum on all hourly bookings. Rates are locked at booking — no surge during Chiefs games at Arrowhead, Royals season at Kauffman, or Power & Light District events.
| Vehicle | Hourly Rate | MCI Airport Transfer | Min Hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan | $170/hr | from $120+ | 2 hr |
| First Class SUV | $120+/hr | from $120+ | 2 hr |

Pricing includes vehicle, professional chauffeur, fuel, and gratuity. MCI airport transfers include flight tracking, arrivals-level meet-and-greet at the new single terminal, and 60 minutes of complimentary wait time. Note: MCI is 18 miles from downtown — farther than most Midwest airports, which is why rideshare surge can be extreme. As of 2026, Detailed Drivers serves 67+ cities across the United States.
Kansas City car service vs Uber/Lyft
Uber Black in Kansas City charges $45-70 base for an MCI airport run but surges 2.5-4.0x during Chiefs home games (76,000 fans exiting Arrowhead simultaneously) and Power & Light District weekend nights. Detailed Drivers charges starting at $120+ — every time.

Kansas City International Airport (MCI) transfers
Kansas City International Airport (MCI) opened its new $1.5 billion single terminal in February 2023, replacing the three old horseshoe terminals. MCI handled 12.7 million passengers in 2024 and is located 18 miles northwest of downtown Kansas City via I-29 South. Your chauffeur meets you at the arrivals level of the new terminal with a name sign.
The new terminal features a single consolidated security checkpoint, 39 gates, and a modern ground transportation area. Pickup is on the lower arrivals level. MCI is farther from downtown than most Midwest airports, which means rideshare surge pricing hits harder here — Uber from MCI after a Chiefs game or during Sunday evening travel peaks can exceed $150. Detailed Drivers is from $120+.

Chiefs, Royals & Kansas City event transportation

Game-day traffic on I-70 eastbound and Stadium Drive is predictable; our chauffeurs pre-plan every route.
For Chiefs games, we drop at Gate D on the north side and pick up on Red Coat Lane after the 4th quarter ends. Expect 30-45 minutes of exit traffic on a Sunday — your chauffeur positions early to minimize wait. For Royals games, Gate A on the west side provides the cleanest exit via Blue Ridge Cutoff to I-70 West. Sporting KC at Children's Mercy Park in KCK rounds out the pro sports scene.
