For November 2026 at Indianapolis Airport, book around a month before: an Intermediate car averages £43 a day against £46 in the last 2 weeks, although across the year both lead times average £51. Across all months of the year, an Intermediate car averages £69 a day around 9 months before your trip and £51 around 2 weeks before, so booking earlier does not guarantee you a lower price. Across the 395 airports we track car hire prices for, 65% of our customers book within a month of pickup, so you would not be unusually late booking now.

Choose Budget for the cheapest Intermediate car at Indianapolis Airport: it averages £46 a day over the last 12 months, from 1,872 prices, but you need a credit card. Budget's desk is at the airport, but the wait averages 34 minutes and Budget does not yet have enough reviews for a score. For an Intermediate car over the same 12 months, Avis averages £49 a day from 618 prices, £3 more a day than Budget, and scores 78/100 from 1,113 recent reviews. Avis also requires a credit card, so changing companies does not solve that restriction.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

Choose National at Indianapolis Airport if reviews and a short wait matter most: it is the best-reviewed company at 99/100 from 268 recent reviews, and its desk wait averages 4 minutes. National is not the cheapest: for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, National averages £66 a day from 4,194 prices, while Budget averages £46 from 1,872 prices, £20 less a day. Budget does not yet have enough reviews for a score, and its desk wait averages 34 minutes, so allow more pickup time if you choose the lower price.

Review scores are CarTrawler customers' own, from the last five months; the score and the desk wait sit beside each car in the results.

At Indianapolis Airport, deposits range from £151 with Budget or Sixt to £227 with Avis, but filter by card first because only 1 of the 9 companies accepts debit cards across its cars. Thrifty accepts debit cards; Hertz, Dollar and Sixt accept them for some cars only, while 5 companies require a credit card. If you need to use a debit card, filter for it before comparing prices and check the deposit and card rule beside each car. Extras charged at the desk are listed under each car with their price.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

At Indianapolis Airport, check card eligibility and allow time for collection because 5 of the 9 companies require a credit card and Budget's desk wait averages 34 minutes. If you only have a debit card, Thrifty accepts it, while Hertz, Dollar and Sixt accept it for some cars only, so confirm the rule for your chosen car before booking. If you have a fixed appointment after landing, compare Budget's 34-minute average wait with National's 4 minutes or Sixt's 10 minutes when choosing your pickup.

For 4 people with 4 bags, choose an Intermediate car such as a Volkswagen Jetta at Indianapolis Airport: it seats 5 and averages £43 a day for November 2026 booked around a month before. For November 2026 at that lead time, a Compact car such as a Nissan Versa averages £41 a day, £2 less, but seats 5 with room for only 3 bags, so choose it only if your luggage fits. A Fullsize car such as a Chevrolet Malibu averages £52 a day, £9 more, and seats 6 but still takes only 4 bags, so the extra seat does not solve a luggage shortfall. Over the last 12 months, 100% of cars offered are automatic, so you do not need to move up a class just to avoid a manual gearbox. Electric and hybrid cars are not offered in these prices, so choose a conventional car if you want to book from these options.
