Transportation

By air

Columbia is halfway between St. Louis and Kansas City. Because of the locations of the airports in these two cities, it takes about 1:40 to drive to St. Louis Airport, and 2:15 to drive to Kansas City Airport. Most major airlines fly to these two airports. In addition, TWA offers commuter flights (connecting through St Louis) to Columbia regional airport.


To get from St. Louis or K.C. airport to Columbia one can either:
  1. rent a car
  2. take the Tiger Express Van. Call 1-800-333-3026 for schedules and reservations. When making a reservation ask for the "M.U. rate". This van can take you directly to your hotel or campus.

To get to Columbia from Columbia regional airport you can either
  1. take shuttle van to your hotel or campus (573-874-4048)
  2. rent a car through Hertz (573-449-0077) or National (573-443-4611)

By car via I-70 to the University of Missouri:

Take I-70 to exit 126 (Providence Rd). Take Providence Rd 2 miles south to Rollins St. This is a T intersection. Left onto Rollins to Maryland Ave (first four-way stop sign). Left on Maryland 1 block to the Turner Ave Garage. Visitor parking is available in the garage. After 5 pm Friday and on weekends parking is free anywhere.
