Car Rental at Indianapolis International Airport

Airport travel guide

Indianapolis International Airport is the largest airport in the state of Indiana and is its primary point of entry for visitors from outside the state. You can easily reach any place in the state from it (and many parts of the Great Lakes region). 

While Indianapolis doesn't make many people's list of top tourist destinations, it has a surprising amount for visitors to enjoy. This includes many museums, theaters, art galleries, a zoo, and parks. Of course, the Indianapolis 500 is perhaps the biggest draw for visitors. It takes place in May. If you’re not in town in May, you can still learn more about the famous races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum.

Nearest gas station
