megabus goes from chicago to indy multiple times a day and is cheap.

Amtrak is difficult because the cheap trains only run at certain times. I've looked in on taking Amtrak on several occasions but the fares were terrible for when I want to travel. All the bus services run more often and cheaper than Amtrak unless you get the $23 special price.

Going to Indianapolis Airport? I honestly don't know of any. There are plenty that go to O'Hare.

Suburban Express, Lincolnland Express, Peoria Charter all go to ORD. The cost varies again on the day and time but it can vary from $20-$40. Peoria Charter is always $20 each way.

In addition, Peoria Charter is the only one I know that still goes to Midway. The others will take you into Chicago and you would have to take the CTA to Midway.

I always fly out of ORD though the bus rides are rather long (3-4 hours) each way. There is a regional airport at UIUC, Willard Airport CMI, but the cost for the connection is pretty high compared to the bus ticket.

As is reading comprehension, apparently. OP wanted UIUC (Champaign-Urbana) to Indy, not Chicago to Indy.

Take a bus.

I just hope UIUC doesnt flip out when they see my receipts. Quite possibly the worst planned trip ever. D:

Cheapest I could find. $33 total each way.

Bus drops you off right in front of courthouse downtown in indy. Easy and cheap


Too bad you didn't post this yesterday. I was downtown Chicago and drove home to Indy. I may have scared you a bit because I was driving like a nutter.

Maybe do a one way car rental through Hertz? $70 should cover it for a day compact rental rate + one-way milage.
