I absolutely LOVE Elite Rides! I genuinely don’t trust anyone else on Turo with my rentals, and there’s a reason I keep coming back! Their vehicles are always reliable, and their customer service is truly out of this world. I promise you, this company beats Enterprise any day! The owner is incredibly kind, understanding, and accommodating, and the prices are always so reasonable. Every single time I book with Elite Rides, I feel like I receive five-star service and then some! My only concern with this particular rental was the number of pre-existing dents and scratches on the vehicle. I’ll admit, that always makes me a little nervous because I want to make absolutely sure I’m not held responsible for damage that was already there. It definitely prompted me to take extra pictures for documentation, and I’m just hoping I captured everything! LOL. Other than that, I had another wonderful experience. What I appreciate most about Elite Rides is that their affordable pricing allows me to create more memories and take more family trips with my children without breaking the bank. That genuinely means so much to me! Finding a company that offers both affordability and exceptional customer service is rare, but Elite Rides consistently delivers both. I cannot recommend this company enough! They have earned my trust and loyalty, and I truly have no desire to rent from anyone else. Thank you, Elite Rides, for continuously providing such phenomenal service. You have a forever customer in me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
For this being my first time renting I greatly enjoyed the user friendly app design. King was awesome very personable, polite and friendly making this rental a very smooth easy process. The car was great on gas, very clean and smelled good. I definitely recommend renting from him, I know I will be a repeat renter of his. 😊 Thanks King
Great service, I would refer everyone there. There were a few days where I had to add on keeping the car last minute and it was no problem. 100% would recommend, would purchase again.

Top tips for driving in Gary
A few things to know before you start driving in Gary and Northwest Indiana.
Road rules
Indiana requires all passengers to wear seatbelts, and drivers must use hands-free devices for calls. Speed limits vary — typically 25–30 mph in town and up to 70 mph on interstates. Keep headlights on in rain or low visibility.
Parking
Downtown Gary has metered street parking and public lots. Check signs for restrictions and time limits. Near attractions like Indiana Dunes, parking is available at designated lots — arrive early on busy weekends.
Toll roads
The Indiana Toll Road (I-90) runs just north of Gary. If you're heading to Chicago or eastern Indiana, you may use this route.
Gas and EV chargers
Gas stations are easy to find along major roads and near highway exits. If you're renting an electric vehicle, charging stations are available in the region — check your route and plan stops as needed.
Do you need a car in Gary?
Yes. Public transit is limited in Gary and Northwest Indiana. A car unlocks Indiana Dunes, the Lake Michigan shoreline, and surrounding towns that are tough to reach otherwise.
Car types
A compact or sedan works well for city driving and parking. If you're heading to the Dunes or traveling with gear and passengers, an SUV gives you extra space and comfort for the drive.
Cost
Prices vary by vehicle type and trip length. Booking ahead often helps you find better options, and longer trips — weekly or monthly — can unlock savings compared to daily rates.
