Independence Airport Shuttles at Kansas City International Airport (MCI)
Independencecharterbuscompany.com is how groups take the stress out of navigating the new single terminal at Kansas City International Airport (MCI), located about 35 miles northwest of Independence via I-70 W, I-435 N, and I-29 N! For departures at 1 International Square, Kansas City, MO 64153, your driver will pull right up to the upper-level Departures curb so your group can unload heavy bags from the undercarriage bays and walk straight to ticketing. Arriving at MCI with a crowd? Because strict airport rules prohibit curbside idling, your bus will stage at the Commercial Vehicle Holding Lot on NW 120th Street until everyone has claimed their luggage on the lower Arrivals level. Once your whole group is gathered, your driver will pull up to the designated charter bus loading zone on the outer commercial curb outside Baggage Claim for a seamless, one-stop pickup!
