Indianapolis car hire

As winter can bring lots of snow to Indianapolis, a 4-wheel-drive car is the best option for a trip to the city. An SUV or minivan will provide great traction and enough space, but is still compact enough to cruise through the city without causing too many problems when it comes to parking and navigating narrow lanes. Bear in mind that, with plowing in winter, streets can become narrower as the snow piles up on both sides.

Unless posted otherwise, general regulations permit 15 mph in alleys, 25 mph in school zones, and 30 mph in residential areas. 60 mph is permitted on interstate highways in suburban areas and up to 70 mph is allowed on rural interstate highways. Especially in the winter, it is crucial to adapt the speed to the current weather conditions.

As long as there is no big event like the Indianapolis 500 on, parking in the city is not too difficult when compared to other big cities. On-street parking is metered in most places, but after 9 pm and on Sundays it is free. Alternatively, there are city garages and parking lots available, such as the City Park or Express Park Garage.
