Top tips for renting a car in Indiana

  • Travelers that plan on renting a car in Indiana might want to know the particulars of the area. Rental locations are available in all the major airports throughout the state, and in kiosks around the major cities. Summers in Indiana are hot and wet, and winters are cold and sometimes snowy. It’s smart to pick a vehicle with 4-wheel-drive that can handle the weather. Indiana is a vast state and seeing it in a rental car is the best way to see it all. It’s also worth adding a GPS device to your rental if you don’t have one, as it will help you get around the state.
  • For families traveling to Indiana, they must understand the laws concerning car seats for children. By law, an infant car seat must be used up to age one, and the child sits facing the rear. Children 20 pounds or more can face the front but must have restraints on the booster seat that cross the shoulder and waist. Most car rental agencies supply booster seats so it’s not necessary to travel with one. Make sure you contact the agency to make sure they can supply one. The state enforces strict fines for not having the correct child restraint seat, so make sure you research your options.
  • There are times when a traveler wants to cross a border to Canada or Mexico with a rental car from Indiana. Keep in mind that most rental car agencies allow this, but there are certain rules. Some will not allow large vans or luxury cars to travel across borders. Others might charge extra fees or charge more for insurance, especially for crossing into Mexico. Be certain to let the agency know you are crossing a border after you rent a car. The border agents will expect to see 2-3 forms of identification such as a driver’s license, passport, or military ID.
  • There are certain vehicle rules travelers might not know when it comes to renting a car in Indiana. If you are planning on driving in the state for a period of time, know that the state monitors the number of driving infractions for each driver. If you have other negative traffic marks in other states, this could affect renting a car. Car rental agencies might check traffic databases if they suspect your record is less than perfect, and rental insurance and other fees could be enforced.

FAQs about renting a car in Indiana

  • Should I hire a car in Indiana?

    Indiana is a great state to rent a car because it has more highways per square mile than any other state. There are so many rural areas to see like Indiana Dunes National Park along Lake Michigan. A rental car is the only way to get to these distant locations because public transportation doesn’t serve these areas. Indiana is the perfect state to plan a road trip in.

  • What is driving like in Indiana?

    Because Indiana is such an expansive state, driving in it is a pleasure, especially on the scenic routes in Northern Indiana where state parks seem to appear every few miles. SR-62 is a meandering highway that crawls through Crawford and Harrison Counties, and the trees and foliage are breathtaking. The Indiana Toll Road spans 157 miles across northern Indiana, but you can pay tolls and purchase an E-ZPass to make passing through them easier.

  • How old do you have to be to hire a car in Indiana?

    In Indiana, it’s important to note that new drivers under twenty five are prohibited from driving with any other passengers other than their spouse or siblings unless there is an adult twenty five or older in the vehicle. There might be additional charges for insurance. Make sure you are aware of what kind of coverage you have, either through private insurance or the agency's. It’s worth checking with various car agencies to see the exact fees.
