Carey Indiana Limousine Service

The following statement is my own and is not in any way endorsed by the Carey Indiana Limousine Service. Nor has Carey Indian Limousine Service in any way paid for the following comments about their services. In fact, the service has no idea of what I've written here about them. They are my own personal comments and observations about their limousine service. Should you try their service, I can't guarantee your experiences will be the same as mine though I think it very likely. Prices quoted are subject to change by the service and I have no idea when they may be changed. I have no affiliation whatsoever with Carey Indiana Limousine Service.
In my last post, I told of my visit to the Lord of the Rings film exhibition at the Indiana State Museum in Indianapolis. As I don't live in Indianapolis, I had to fly out there to see the exhibition. I flew to Indianapolis on Southwest Airlines and plan to post a blog on what I thought of their services. This blog entry however is about my use of Carey Indiana Limousines Services.
As I was making my reservations for my trip to Indianapolis back in October I ran into a problem, I couldn't find an airport shuttle service from Indianapolis Airport to downtown Indianapolis. I decided to call the Radisson where I was going to be staying. They told me about the Carey Indiana Limousine Service. The Radisson is one of an unknown number of hotels who have a deal with them to drop off travellers at their hotel. I then called the service and found out it would cost $11 each way per person. I thought that was a great price though I didn't realize at that time just how great. I subsequently made reservation for me and my step-mom.
The day finally came to fly out to Indianapolis and I used the Super Shuttle (Blue Van) service (I'll give my impressions of their service later) to Baltimore Washington International Airport. From there, I caught a Southwest Airlines flight to Indianapolis. When I arrived at Indianapolis, I met up with my step-mom, picked up my bag, and we went in search of the Carey Indiana Limousine Service. The service was located across the street from the arrivals entrance. We walked over to the building they're located in and checked in. About 5 minutes later, our transportation arrived.
A lot of limousine services use vans, buses, as well as limousines. For $11 each way, I expected a van. Me and my step-mom were both stunned when we stepped out and got to board a great looking stretch limousine. It was absolutely fantastic. It was a great start to our visit to Indianapolis. The driver and his assistant promptly got us to the downtown Radisson and were very courteous. We ended up tipping them $8 because we were so delighted with their service.
When it was time to depart, we waited for what we expected would be a van this time. To our surprise, Carey sent a stretch limousine AGAIN! We were delighted. The driver was just as great as the driver that took us to the Radisson. We were at the Indianapolis Airport in no time. The driver also very kindly told us where we needed to go to check-in for our flight.
I don't know if you'll get a limo every time like we did but, if you need a cheap but high quality service to get you to downtown Indianapolis, you might want to try Carey Indiana Limousine Service. Me and my step-mom found them consistently excellent and will gladly use them again in the future if we have to travel to Indianapolis. Their phone number for reservations and rates is 317-241-6700.
