Purdue Retirees Airport Parking Benefits
Airport parking perks offered to Purdue employees are also available to official Purdue retirees.
Below is a summary of the three airport parking services currently offered.
A Purdue email account is required for use of these benefits. For assistance in accessing the University’s email, contact Human Resources at hr@purdue.edu or 765-494-2222.
Park ‘N Fly
In April 2023 the university added another airport parking services vendor discount program, Park ‘N Fly. The program offers a 25% discount at Park ‘N Fly locations in the United States, including at Chicago Midway International Airport. The program is available for faculty, staff, students and retirees with valid purdue.edu email addresses. The discount can be used for business and personal travel. Anyone who enrolls in Purdue’s corporate advantage program is automatically enrolled in Park ‘N Fly’s loyalty program: https://www.pnf.com/frequent-parker-program.
Park ‘N Fly has a partner location for Chicago O’Hare International Airport. The partner location is the Chicago Marriott Suites O’Hare. While the hotel does not participate in the loyalty program and the 25% discount is not provided, the parking rate there is lower than the O’Hare airport rate.
To request a card for the program or to make a reservation, reference the employee discount code webpage at https://www.purdue.edu/procurement/travel/discounts/codes/index.php. Purdue log in credentials are required.
ParkIND Proximity Card
Indianapolis International Airport has provided a Purdue-specific rate of $14 per day for parking on the fifth floor of the Airport Terminal Parking Garage, which is lower than the daily public rate for garage parking.
To be eligible for this rate for business (for current faculty and staff) or personal travel, travelers must sign up for a free ParkIND Proximity Card using their Purdue University, Purdue University Fort Wayne or Purdue University Northwest email address: https://parkindplus.ind.com/fpp/createacct.aspx
Once the membership is activated, travelers can log-in to their ParkIND Plus Account
https://parkindplus.ind.com/fpp/signin.aspx at any time to update their profile, add or change credit/debit cards, check point balances, print detailed receipts or redeem points for free parking.
The Proximity Card must be presented at the time of parking to be eligible for Purdue’s discounted daily rate.
Fast Park & Relax
Fast Park & Relax offers a less expensive parking option for business and leisure travel and provides many additional perks compared to traditional airport parking lots. Some of these perks include:
- Guaranteed parking is available in well-lit, fenced areas with security monitoring;
- Continual shuttle service runs 24 hours a day;
- Users are picked up and dropped off directly at their vehicle;
- Shuttle drivers load and unload luggage;
- At drop off, shuttle drivers shovel a path to the vehicle when snow has accumulated and will remain there until the car is started;
- Emergency vehicle services are provided at no additional charges for lockouts, dead batteries and flat tires;
- A rewards system is available
Service is available at 14 airports across the United States. The Indianapolis International Airport location is at 8550 Stansted Road.
