Make Your Plan for Indy

We are working with two major parking providers in the downtown Indianapolis area who have arranged special rates for the National Eucharistic Congress. Parking passes are available to purchase for single days or for the entirety of the event. We highly encourage you to secure parking by purchasing a pass ahead of time. Consider carpooling with friends, family, or fellow parishioners to save on parking costs. Please read the information below and select an option that best suits your parking needs.

Wherever you choose to park, be sure to remove all personal items from your vehicle. The NEC is not responsible for theft or damage to vehicles.

Buses

Bus Loading/Unloading

There will be designated loading and unloading areas for buses. The location and details about this process will be provided to group leaders closer to the event dates. There will be no fee to access the loading and unloading zones, but the bus cannot be parked in these areas and the driver must stay with the bus at all times. The bus staging zones will be strictly for loading and unloading only.

Bus Parking

Buses needing to park downtown must purchase a parking pass. The Gate Ten lot has bus parking available, and the cost for buses is $75 per day. See below for more information on how to purchase a pass at this lot. Personal items should not be left unattended on the bus. The NEC is not responsible for theft or damage to vehicles.

Rental Bus Transportation

If you have not yet secured a charter bus for your group and are interested in using a local Indianapolis company, Luxury Worldwide Transportation is ready to assist you! Transportation assistance is available to all areas of the continental U.S. Due to the size of the event and limited bus inventory, it is recommended that you make your reservations as soon as possible. To obtain a quote, contact Mark Johnson at markj@lwti.com or 317-217-1007.
