Brilliant car, for a great price and great people to deal with! Thanks so much
Our host was absolutely amazing! They were so accommodating and made everything super easy for us. We had to extend our trip twice because of a power outage, and they handled both extensions with no hassle at all. They were also very thoughtful and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. Great communication, very understanding, and just an overall wonderful host. I would definitely rent from them again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ready Rides was awesome (Again). Owner is very attentive and responded almost immediately! Looking forward to working with him again!

Great customer service and very easy to get along with and very helpful with all the information and details you will need
The car was amazing. First time I ever drove a Volkswagen Jetta and I see why people drive those. This place came in clutch when I was homeless and had to move in such a short notice. No problems with the car and a smooth ride everyday 1000% recommend them for immediate rental needs. Excellent service and communication. Will definitely use again!
Host was very polite and accommodating when I moved my pick up time up. Car was clean and it was a smooth ride. Will be renting again!
From the time I booked the car until returning it has been a great experience. I didn’t have any issues. The host provided information that was needed before picking up the vehicle and for returning it. The quality of the car was good. And the location was literally 5 mins from my house so that was a bonus. Thank you! I will rent again.
The car was great!!! Communication with host was quick and easy. I love renting with you guys. I am never disappointed.
Literally the BEST RENTAL service and reliable cars in NWI! I have made several reservations with elite rides, and if I could give them more than five stars I would. Hector has outstanding communication and hospitality each time I have rented from him. I will definitely be using them 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.
