Black car and full-size SUV transfers between Indianapolis International Airport and downtown — the JW Marriott, Conrad, Westin, InterContinental, The Alexander, and Marriott Downtown. Flat rates, real-time flight tracking, and a chauffeur waiting at baggage claim. No surge pricing, no cancelled ride when you land at 1:00 a.m.
One flat rate per vehicle, quoted before you book. Roughly 20 minutes via I-70 East. The price you see is the price you pay — flight tracking, meet-and-greet, and luggage assistance are included on every transfer.
Airport pickups include 45 minutes of free wait time for domestic arrivals and 60 minutes for international arrivals, measured from your actual landing time — not your scheduled one. We track your flight in real time, so a delay, an early arrival, or a gate change adjusts your pickup automatically at no extra charge.
Departures include a 15-minute grace period at pickup, billed in 15-minute increments after that.
Arrivals at IND are a meet-and-greet, not a curbside scramble. Here's the sequence.
Your flight is monitored from wheels-up. If you're early, we're early. If you sit on the tarmac for an hour, your chauffeur is still there and the meter hasn't started.
Your chauffeur waits inside with a name sign at IND baggage claim and helps with bags to the vehicle. No hunting for a license plate in the pickup lane.
You get your chauffeur's name, phone number, and vehicle description before the day of travel. If you'd rather go straight to the curb, text us and we'll meet you there instead.
Quoted flat before you book. No surge multiplier at 5:00 p.m. on a Friday, no fare recalculated because traffic was bad, no cancellation because a better fare came along.
A 4:00 a.m. departure and a midnight arrival get the same vehicle, the same chauffeur standard, and the same rate as a midday transfer. Holidays included.
