Car rental in Indianapolis

Indianapolis is an expansive city, making hiring a car one of the best ways to maximize your travel. From sporty convertibles for a cruise downtown to sturdy SUVs for your adventurous trips, there's a car variety to suit your needs.

Driving

Unlike British left-hand driving, Americans drive on the right-hand side of the road. Remember, the passenger side is the curb side, not the road side.

Parking

Many parking facilities are scattered throughout the city and most hotels offer free parking. Metered on-street parking is also an option.

Local Laws and Etiquette

Traffic Rules

Always stop for school buses when lights are blinking, an unfamiliar rule for the British. Roundabouts are starting to become more prevalent, but most intersections are still controlled with traffic lights, not yield signs.

Currency

The US Dollar ($) is the accepted currency, and credit cards are widely accepted. Still, keep a bit of cash handy for tolls and parking, a change, no doubt, from contactless habits of the Brits.

Around the Year in Indianapolis

Indianapolis, a city of seasons and celebrations, has a rich calendar of local events like the famed Indianapolis 500 motor race in May and the Heartland International Film festival in October.

Prepare for a fun ride through Indianapolis, and when you're ready to start planning, choose the right car to match your journey. Safe travels!
