Airport Transportation in Indianapolis
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Indianapolis International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
From Indianapolis International we take you to downtown Indianapolis and the Indiana Convention Center, Lucas Oil Stadium, Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Zionsville and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with airport transportation in Indianapolis booked before your flight.
Indianapolis Airport Transfers
Your driver meets you at the pickup point in your confirmation as you leave baggage claim. We track your flight, so a delay moves the pickup instead of canceling it, and the price for the whole vehicle is fixed before you fly.
Indianapolis airport transfers run door to door in sedans, SUVs and vans for groups: to the hotels linked to the Convention Center, games at Lucas Oil Stadium and Gainbridge Fieldhouse, offices and homes in Carmel and Fishers, and race weekends at the Speedway.
Indianapolis Airport Shuttle
The Indianapolis airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, with no stops at other hotels on the way. It has room for luggage and suits convention and trade-show teams, fans in town for the Indy 500 or a game, and families visiting the northern suburbs.
Landing at Indianapolis Airport
Indianapolis International Airport (IND) sits southwest of downtown. It has one terminal, the Col. H. Weir Cook Terminal, with Concourses A and B off a central civic plaza, and baggage claim on the lower level, so it's easy to get from the gate to the curb.
Most flights are domestic. The airport is busiest in May around the Indianapolis 500 and during big conventions and sports events downtown. Indianapolis is on Eastern time.
- Race and convention weeks: demand peaks in May (Indy 500) and during big conventions. Book early and give your hotel's exact address.
- Speedway race days: roads around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway close or turn one-way. Give the gate or hotel and allow extra time.
- Pickup: follow the pickup instructions in your confirmation, not the taxi or rideshare signs.

We monitor the flight on your reservation, so a delay doesn't cancel your pickup. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or the flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking as soon as you know.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. The price you see when you book covers the whole car or van and everyone in your party.
