Park & Fly at IND: Hotel + Parking Bundles
A park & fly bundle combines one hotel night near Indianapolis International Airport with free parking for your entire trip. Stay the night before an early flight, leave the car in the hotel's lot, and shuttle to the terminal — then ride back to your car when you land. It's the option most parking-only sites simply don't offer.
How a bundle works, step by step
- Book the bundle for the night before your flight and your return date.
- Check in to the hotel and park in its lot.
- Take the hotel's 24/7 shuttle to the IND terminal in the morning.
- Fly out; your car stays parked free for the length of your trip.
- When you land, the shuttle brings you back to your car.
When park & fly saves money
Bundles shine for early departures. Instead of paying for a hotel and separate long-term parking — or setting a 4 a.m. alarm to drive in — you pay for a single night and park free. For a longer trip, the free parking window can offset most of the room cost, making the effective daily parking rate very low.
How much parking is included
Each hotel sets its own included-parking window — commonly up to around two weeks. Days beyond the included window are billed at the lot's normal daily rate, and both figures are shown before you pay. If you're staying longer than the free window, compare the math against plain long-term parking in our long-term parking guide.
Bundle vs. plain parking
Not every trip needs a bundle — for a midday flight, plain parking may be simpler and cheaper. The right call depends on your flight time and trip length. The easiest way to decide is to compare bundle and parking prices for your dates side by side.
Park & fly FAQ
What is a hotel + parking bundle?
It's a single reservation that combines one night at an airport-area hotel with free parking for the length of your trip. You check in the night before your flight, leave your car in the hotel's lot, and take the shuttle to IND — then ride back to your car when you return.
How much parking is included?
Each hotel sets its own included-parking window, often up to about 14 days. Extra days beyond that are charged at the lot's daily rate. The included days and any extra-day pricing are shown when you book.
Does a bundle actually save money?
For early-morning flights it often does: you pay for one hotel night and park free, instead of paying for a hotel and separate long-term parking, or making a pre-dawn drive. Compare the bundle price against plain parking for your dates to see.
Is the shuttle included?
Yes — bundle hotels run a 24/7 shuttle to and from the terminal, same as the standalone parking lots. Check the specific hotel's page for shuttle timing.
