Drive a One-Way Car Rental from Chicago to Indianapolis
During the 3-hour drive from Chicago to Indianapolis you will see farmland and small cities. It is an easy drive on Interstate 65 starting at Gary, Indiana, and you can stop halfway in Lafayette. And you will find plenty to do in both Chicago and Indianapolis. In the winter, the weather can be unpredictable with very cold weather, snow and ice. Consider renting a vehicle with 4-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive to make sure you get to Indianapolis safely. Choose from our selection of compact cars and sedans, sports cars, convertibles, and SUVs for your trip. Please be advised that not all vehicles are available for one-way rentals.
