KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Bloomington

  • Bloomington is a large suburban city located south of Indianapolis. Still, despite its size, it has a limited public transport system, which isn’t very advantageous when attempting to get around while on holiday. Car rentals in Bloomington provide you with an affordable ride to suit your needs, plus you own the freedom and convenience to navigate Bloomington independent of city transport. Griffy Woods Nature Preserve has a lake and boathouse approx. 3.5 miles from central Bloomington for some R&R, while Indianapolis offers evening or weekend excitement about 50 miles north via I-69. These places are easy to access by car but difficult to reach by public transport.
  • Indianapolis International Airport is the closest one to Bloomington and has a car rental centre which is convenient since the airport is some 50 miles from the city centre. Nearly a dozen major providers have offices at the airport’s Ground Transportation Center, on the first floor of the Terminal Garage, so you won’t have too much trouble finding a vehicle when you make a reservation. SIXT, Avis and National are three providers offering a smart mix of economy cars, SUVs and saloons, but you must be at least 21 years old to hire one. Remember that young driver fees will apply to anyone under 25.
  • You’ll need your passport, ID, local driver’s licence and a major credit card or bank debit card to get a car rental in Bloomington. We strongly urge you to carry an International Driving Permit as well. Always drive your vehicle on the right side of the road and only use a hands-free device when you’re behind the wheel. Be sure all occupants are wearing seat belts before you get underway. Driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances is strictly prohibited, and traffic cameras are standard on city streets and highways, so drive safely at all times.
  • Traffic moderately increases during the summer and could present a few problems along key roads and near main junction points around Bloomington. For example, the interchange of State Road 45/I-69 west of Twin Lakes and the major junction in the north-western corner are susceptible to inbound and outbound congestion during morning and evening rush hour periods. The city’s grid pattern may also cause slowdowns when driving in the city centre, especially near the Indiana University campus, on weekdays from 8 - 9 a.m. and 1 - 3 p.m. due to high pedestrian activity.
  • Medium rental cars in Bloomington are around 59% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pick-up truck

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!
