Play with car classes and suppliers in the search results. A midsize may be on promo and cheaper than an economy, and different brands discount at different times.

What documents do I need to rent a car in Brownsburg?
You need a valid driver's license and a major credit card in your name. If you plan to use your own car insurance instead of buying the rental company's insurance, you should bring proof of it. Some companies may ask to see it. International visitors should also bring their passport and if your driver's license isn't in English, you'll need an International Driving Permit.
What is the minimum age to rent a car in Brownsburg?
You usually need to be at least 21 years old. Rental companies will usually charge drivers ages 21 to 24 a young-driver fee of about $25 to $30 per day.
Can I add additional drivers to my rental?
Yes. Most companies charge about $13 to $15 per day for each extra driver, but they often won't charge extra for a spouse or domestic partner. Every extra driver needs to show a valid driver's license when you pick up the car.
What happens if I encounter snow during my rental period?
Road crews usually plow and salt main roads quickly. Rental agencies in central Indiana do not provide snow tires or chains, but you can ask for a vehicle with all-wheel drive to get better traction.
Is there a mileage limit on rentals in Brownsburg?
Most rental companies give you unlimited mileage for personal travel. They usually only put limits on special vehicles like cargo vans or 12 to 15-passenger vans.
What should I do if the rental car breaks down?
Call the rental company's roadside assistance number on your rental agreement. In an emergency, dial 911. For help on the highway, you can also reach the Indiana State Police by dialing ISP (477) from a cell phone.
