Parking & airport fees

When you book your Indianapolis Airport car rental, the total cost you pay to Turo will include an airport fee.

Parking costs at Indianapolis International Airport will depend on the parking garage you select. Please note that Turo does not cover parking fees — coordinate this with your host prior to your arrival.

Rather than hustling at the busy terminal curbside, take your time picking up the rental car at approved parking lots or garages. Check in, load up your luggage, and get comfortable with the car without a big rush.

Car rental at Indianapolis International Airport is seamless and stress-free when you book with Turo. Head straight from the baggage claim area and follow airport signs to a pre-arranged parking location: either the Economy Lot, the Park & Walk Lot, or the Terminal Garage.

Here, you'll either meet in person with your Turo host (Hourly Parking Zones in the Terminal Garage or Park & Walk Lot only) or pick up your car rental. Exit the parking lot with the ticket provided, and you're ready to cruise around Indianapolis.

How does drop-off work at Indianapolis International Airport?

When dropping off your car rental at Indianapolis International Airport, simply message your host before your departure date to confirm where and when you'll leave the vehicle. Remember, you can only drop off your rental car at one of our approved locations.

If you plan on meeting your host in person, you can only park in the Hourly Parking Zones of the Terminal Garage or Park & Walk Lot. When you enter your chosen Indianapolis Airport parking lot, take a parking ticket and leave it in your car rental for your host so they can exit.

How far is Indianapolis International Airport from Downtown Indianapolis?

Once you've picked up your car rental at Indianapolis International Airport (IND), the drive to the city center will take between 20 and 35 minutes, depending on traffic and the time of day. Indianapolis's downtown area is more spread out than some cities, so depending on where you're staying or which attractions you're visiting, your commute may be slightly longer or shorter.

What are the road rules and driving conditions in Indianapolis?

Before you begin your tour of Indianapolis and beyond in your car rental, it's a good idea to brush up on the local road rules to avoid fines or breaking the law. In Indianapolis, always comply with the state's road rules, including wearing a seatbelt at all times, holding a valid driver's license, following road signs, only using hands-free mobile devices, and adhering to speed limits.

Indianapolis speed limits range from 20 to 25 miles per hour (mph) in school zones, to 65 mph on urban interstates, and 70 mph on rural interstates.

Like every US state, Indiana has a handful of unique road rules. For example, you must display your turn signal at least 200 feet before you turn or change lanes, or 300 feet if you're driving at over 50 mph. If you are pulled over by the police in Indiana, you must turn on your interior light after stopping. There are also rules governing driving in heavy fog, which is common in the cooler months. You may not drive in thick fog with zero visibility, and you must always use your headlights when visibility is less than 500 feet.

What is parking like in Indianapolis?

Indianapolis boasts a whopping 73,000 affordable parking spots, so finding somewhere to leave your car rental shouldn't be a problem. In Downtown Indy, you'll find a plethora of metered street parking options, as well as undercover garages like the one at 1220 Waterway Blvd or 501 W Maryland St.

Are there toll roads in Indianapolis?

There's just one toll road in the entire Hoosier State — the Indiana East-West Toll Road, AKA the Indiana Toll Road. It doesn't run through Indianapolis, so if you only plan on staying in the state's capital, you'll save yourself a bit of money on tolls! However, if you plan on venturing north to towns including East Chicago, Elkhart, Gary, Hammond, Lake Station, Mishawaka, Portage, or South Bend, then prepare to pay tolls when you drive on sections of the I-80 or I-90.

You can pay your Indiana East-West Toll Road fees using a transponder like the E-ZPass, in person with cash, or online using major credit cards or debit cards.

Where can I find gas stations and EV chargers in Indianapolis?

Indianapolis is an extremely drivable city, which means locating gas stations and electric vehicle (EV) charging stations is easy stuff. En route to and from Indianapolis International Airport, you'll find abundant gas stations along major roads, including Washington St to the north and Kentucky Ave to the south.

There are five electric vehicle charging stations inside Indianapolis Airport grounds, two of which are located by the Crown Plaza Hotel on S High School Rd, and the remaining three of which you'll find at the airport's south-western end by the car rental companies and the Shell gas station, respectively.

Approaching the Indianapolis city center, you'll notice gas stations along commuter roads like Washington St, Kentucky Ave, and Dwight D. Eisenhower Hwy. When you reach Downtown Indianapolis, options begin to thin out, so be sure to fill up before you hit the city proper.

Charging stations by ChargePoint, Bluindy, Shell, Tesla, and more are sprinkled throughout Downtown Indianapolis. You'll find them on major roads and nearby key tourist attractions like the Soldiers & Sailors Monument, the Circle Centre Mall, and the Indiana War Memorial & Museum.

Do I need to rent a car in Indianapolis?

While you could certainly navigate Indianapolis using the city's bus route, the best way to see all the sights is by hiring a rental car. Indianapolis's population is close to 900,000, but it still has small-town vibes, and cars rule the roads.

What rental car types can I find on Turo in Indianapolis?

On Turo, we've got tons of vehicle classes to choose from, including premium luxury SUVs like the BMW X5, premium luxury sedans such as the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, electric luxury SUVs like the Tesla Model Y, full-size elite electric sedans such as the Lucid Air, people movers like the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, classic cars such as the Ford Mustang Fastback, and more.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet. Liability insurance is provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company. Terms, conditions, and exclusions apply. The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency. For questions about how damage to a host’s vehicle is handled, visit the Turo Support site.

When a trip is booked in the state of Washington, physical damage to the host’s vehicle is covered by insurance purchased by Turo, but Turo’s insurance does not change the contractual responsibilities of hosts or guests with respect to physical damage to a host’s vehicle.
