KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bloomington

  • Reserving a car rental in Bloomington lets you enjoy the convenience of touring the city without the hassles of public transit. A rental car allows you the flexibility to proceed to your destination directly without transfers. Additionally, a rental car saves you time as you don’t have to queue up in bus stations and grants you privacy and comfort, unlike public transportation. A trip to Bloomington would be incomplete without visiting Hoosier National Park, WonderLab Museum, and Indiana University.
  • Obtaining a Bloomington car rental is easy at Indianapolis International Airport (IND), provided you have a valid driver’s license and are at least 21. The car rental companies, including SIXT and Budget, are in the reception area of the Ground Transportation Center, outside the terminal, and you can access it via the walkway. You will pick up your rental car at the parking garage outside the baggage claim, behind the reception area.
  • To ensure your safety and that of other motorists while driving your car rental in Bloomington, there are a few driving tips you should know. Turn cautiously and indicate, as some drivers may be aggressive. You should also be keen while driving your rental car, as jaywalking is common. Follow the driving rules and drive your rental car safely behind the vehicle ahead of you. The vehicle on your right at an intersection and emergency vehicles with flashing lights have the right of way.
  • Bloomington experiences its fair share of traffic congestion, especially during rush hours. Morning rush hour hits Bloomington between 7 and 9 am, and the evening peak hours are from 5 to 7 pm. It is best to plan your trip ahead of time and avoid driving during these times to evade traffic snarl-ups. Alternatively, you can plan your routes through back roads and small streets like Walnut Street and Lincoln Street.
  • Compact rental cars in Bloomington are around 66% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Bloomington?

    It is best to obtain a rental car that suits your tastes and needs. If you will spend most of your vacation in Bloomington downtown, consider getting a compact car to squeeze into tight alleys and parking spots. Winter can be snowy, so an SUV four-wheel drive is a good choice. Consider getting a minivan rental if you are bringing your friends or family along. If you are on a tight budget, an economy car will do. If you want to impress your client, get a luxury rental car.

  • What is the speed limit in Bloomington?

    Stick to the speed limit when driving your car rental in Bloomington to avoid brushing with the city’s law enforcement. The default speed in Bloomington is 30 mph unless posted otherwise. Other speed restrictions in Bloomington include 20 mph within the school zones, 25 mph for residential areas, 55 mph on undivided highways, 60 mph on divided highways, and 55-75 mph on interstates. Ensure you drive at a prudent and reasonable speed for the given road or weather conditions.

  • What are the best places to park in Bloomington?

    Parking for your car rental in Bloomington is easy to come by as the city boasts a range of parking options, including surface pay lots, parking garages, and on-street with reasonable rates. Downtown parking garages include the 4th Street Garage, Trades District Garage, Morton Street Garage, and Walnut Street Garage.

Cons:

. The facility itself was so dirty. Trash laying around the waiting room. Looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. One person working the entire facility. He was doing his best but the process wasn’t great. There was no walk around to mark dings/imperfections on the car. My car was filthy when I got it. Not only was there NO sanitation/COVID cleaning there were cracker crumbs on the floor of the backseat. Dog hair all over. The navigation/backup camera screen was shattered. It was not good. The person working there said there weren’t any other cars he could give me. I had to be at an appointment in a few minutes so there wasn’t anything I could do. Thankfully, upon return, they did not charge me for the rental. The person working there did his best to make the situation right but they clearly need more staff if he’s the only one expected to run the counter, check in and out cars AND clean. It was not a good experience and I would be renting from here again.

Avis did NOT have the truck on the day I requested it. They said they called but it did not show up in the system and they did not leave a voice-mail either. Luckily I went to ENTERPRISE and they did everything right. I am looking to get a refund from KAYAK . Will never use Avis again!
