IND rental car return: where to go and how to get to the terminal

Where do you return a rental car at IND?

Ground Transportation Center on the first floor of the Terminal Garage; on-airport rental cars are kept in the garage.

Returning the car and getting to the terminal

Follow the airport signs for Car Rental return. Budget says you return the car to the same place you picked it up; the other companies' pages were not checked. The terminal is a short walk through the climate-controlled pedestrian bridge, no shuttle needed. Budget says its check-in area in the garage is closed 11 PM to 7 AM (until 8 AM on Saturdays); at those times leave the keys in the car or in the drop box nearby.
