IND airport, off-site parking?

[madaboutMickey]

Will be driving to IND the morning of our flight. Any off-site parking with shuttle to the airport the you IND experts would recommend? As a last resort, we will park in the economy lot at the airport but I hate paying those prices. Only pay about $5/day with Fastpark when we fly out of CVG.

Park, ride, and fly is located on the Ronald Reagan Parkway west of the airport. Not sure what the prices are though.

I could be wrong, but I think the park, ride and fly is still close to the same price as economy parking.
If you're driving in from Cinni that morning, maybe look at staying the night at one of the hotels close by. Most allow up to 2 weeks of free parking, plus a free shuttle to the airport.

We fly out of IND...stay at a hotel the night before. Just did this last month and paid $89+tax for the Hyatt Place Indy Airport. We got free breakfast, free shuttle to and from airport and free parking (Believe it is 14 days but we only used 10). There are lots of hotels near the airport and if you google you might find other options. This is our second time staying at this hotel and we really like it.

I second staying at a nearly hotel the night before . We like to stay at the Lynhurst La Qunita Inn. With tax, it is ~ $90. You get up to 14 days of parking, 24 hour shuttle to/from the airport and breakfast. I like to do early flights to Orlando and being so close to the airport is great !

Thanks for the suggestions. Ride, park and fly is $13.50/day plus fees and taxes. So it is definitely more than the economy parking. Staying at one of the hotels, unfortunately, is not an option due to a prior commitment the night before our trip. However, that is something to keep in mind if we need to fly out of IND in the future.

How late is your "prior commitment?"

Several years ago, we flew out of Indianapolis. We stayed overnight at (I think it was the) Days Inn and took advantage of its park sleep and fly program (actually cheaper than just parking at an off-site parking lot).

Due to an unexpected problem at work, we didn't leave Greater Cincinnati until almost 8 PM. Got to Indy about 10. Checked in and still had a good night's sleep. Granted, our plane didn't take off until about 10:30 the following morning, but we were all up by 7, anxious to get going.

Honestly, the only way I wouldn't do a park sleep and fly out of Indy is if I didn't get to bed the night before. I'd be worried about car problems/traffic going up I-74. And even if you didn't get to Indy until midnight, and your plane took off at 8, you can still get about 5 1/2 to 6 hours of sleep. And did I say, the park sleep and fly could be cheaper than just parking off-site?
