KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Plainfield

  • Driving around in cheap car rentals in Plainfield can be a more comfortable and convenient option. You can control the temperature, radio, and even choose your route, which is not possible with public transportation. The city of Plainfield has several attractions and must-visit locations that are best accessed with a rented car. For example, the Chateau Thomas Winery located just a few miles outside the city is a great place to visit and experience Indiana's wine country. You can also use Plainfield car rentals to explore nearby attractions.
  • Plainfield, Indianapolis is served by one major airport, the Indianapolis International Airport (IND). The airport has multiple reputable rental car companies that provide Plainfield car rentals to passengers arriving at the airport. The rental car agencies are located outside the terminal buildings of IND. The airport offers a free shuttle service to the Ground Transportation Center where rental cars are located. The shuttle runs 24/7 and departs from the lower level of the terminal near the baggage claim area.
  • Indianapolis is an “all-driver ban” state when it comes to texting while driving, including for those driving cheap car rentals in Plainfield, so you shouldn't text while behind the wheel. A large percentage of drivers in Plainfield are truck drivers who transport goods to and from the nearby airport and major highways. Therefore, there’s a chance of encountering large trucks on the road that may require extra caution while driving. You should also be aware of pedestrians on the road, especially in the city center.
  • Traffic congestion can be an issue in Plainfield, particularly around rush hour times. Rush hour typically occurs in the early morning between 7 am and 9 am and in the late afternoon from 4 pm to 6 pm, with the busiest traffic on major highways, such as I-70 and HWY 267. Therefore, it is recommended to plan your travels accordingly to avoid these congested periods or consider using alternate routes. Winter is typically the most difficult season for driving cheap car rentals in Plainfield. Snow and ice can make roads slippery and challenging to navigate, particularly in the early morning or late evening when temperatures are low.
  • Book your car hire in Plainfield at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Plainfield are around 56% cheaper than other car types, on average

They rejected our reservation. They said that they didn’t have any cars available because the reservation was made less than 24 hours in advance, even though it was the previous day and the system let us make the reservation.

I was disappointed in almost every respect. a) signage in the car-rental line at IND showed "Avis/Budget" but nothing for Payless, so I walked to the counter. I was (rudely) told "I don't care what the sign says; go get in the line." b) 35 minutes later it's my turn and I explain I've rented an electric car and need to drive 100 miles roundtrip. I don't think I'll be able to charge it. What happens? The answer, best as I could figure it out, was "$70 fee". c) That seemed crazy on a $55 rental, so I asked for a gasoline car instead. After 20 minutes and an upcharge I was sent outside to stall H8 to get my car. It was a windy, cold, wet afternoon and stall H8 was empty. It stayed that way for 20 more minutes! -- So, rude staff; an upcharge; and more than an hour from arriving in the rental hall until being able to drive away. Lousy! I noticed that the Hertz counter had no wait line, and smiling staff. Note to self: next time, spend the money and go with Hertz!!

Absolutely awful. I pre-paid for this car rental and when I arrived to the Payless counter, I was told that no cars were available! Calling Payless customer service was useless. They said that the best they could do is to process a refund... how was that going to help? I was stuck at Indianapolis Airport with no means of getting to my final destination. I will never rent with Payless again.

I was not able to pick up the car due to a long counter line. After waiting in line for more than an hour, I decided to leave the line due to so many still waiting in line ahead of me. Don’t rent cars if you don’t have customer service support.

We had to wait in a long line to pick up the car because there were only 2 people at the check out counter but other than that no problem.

Not a Damn Thing, I never got my rental car, d/t my booking agent not telling me that I needed a credit card, found out the day I arrived in Indianapolis. The cost of the rental was $422, I have been trying to find out from them why I still had to pay the full price, when I never got the rental, on the contract it states that if I cancelled before 24 hrs it would be $100, & during the 24hr it would be $200, I have yet to receive any answers from them regarding this situation. Mean while I had to rent from another place in the airport which costed me $600, so I could have transportation while there for a wk, trying to take care of my sick son. I also called your agency a few time to speak to someone, there was no help there either. Not Happy at all.

Pros:

No staff at the counter when we arrived, a card said to use the kiosk and no kiosk to be seen. When we brought the car back there was no staff around and this was at 4:30 PM.

Cons:

Get anybody to be at your place of business or close down. And by the way we noticed that there was a big plug in the right rear tire. That is very dangerous in my opinion, and no spare along with no staff.

Staff was friendly getting the rental and something happened to their computer. Claimed my reservation was flagged and they wouldn’t be able to rent to me for the night.

I rent from sixt regularly. There was no code or reason for the reservation being flagged. The agent couldn’t explain why.

Pros:

No issues with staff friendliness

Cons:

They didn’t do the walk around the vehicle when I took it out and since I was in a hurry with lots of luggage, I forgot to do it. They just handed me the keys at the desk and pointed where the car is. But they walked around when I brought it back and claimed that a pebble off the street has chipped the paint off the hood.
