Transportation for students, peace of mind for parents
Chauffeur transportation you can count on through the whole college experience. From the first move-in to graduation, McSmith Elite is here when a ride is needed.

Most students live away from home, and parents can’t always be there when a ride is needed. That’s the gap we fill. McSmith Elite becomes the family’s go-to ride for the entire time a student is in school, not just one airport run a year.
Indianapolis is the main arrival hub for students across the state. Indianapolis International Airport (IND) is where most students fly in and out, and from there they need to get to campus, whether that’s a 15-minute ride to Butler or a 75-minute ride to Purdue. We handle the whole trip with a professional chauffeur, flight tracking, and luggage help, so a freshman arriving alone or a parent who can’t be there both have one less thing to worry about.
We build relationships with families. Once a student rides with us, parents tend to keep us on file for the next break, the next visit, and the eventual graduation. That’s the point. We want to be the number you save the first week and still call senior year.
For parents
You can’t be everywhere your student needs to be. You can know they have a safe ride when they need one. Book it yourself from anywhere, get a confirmation, and we’ll text the chauffeur details before pickup. Licensed, insured, background-checked chauffeurs on every trip.

A note on Bloomington
Indiana University Bloomington is one of the biggest schools in the state, and Bloomington has no commercial airport. Every student flying in or out goes through Indianapolis. That means a 60 to 75 minute trip each way, every break, every semester. Families either drive it themselves or find a service they trust. We run that route constantly, which is why so many IU families keep our number on hand.
