Fetch your bags exit the arrivals hall at Topeka, KS Airport (FOE-Forbes Field), and collect your rental car. Which one you grab the keys to depends on where you’ll be going. If you’ll be mostly driving in downtown Topeka, around 7 miles from the terminal, choose something small and zippy. A compact car that’s easy to operate will suit those bustling city streets. But with almost endless things to see, like the scenic prairies of the surrounding region, you may want to make a few pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a joy.
