Ohio → Indiana · Interstate 71 / Interstate 75
Before turning the key for Indianapolis, Indiana, out of Cincinnati, Ohio, run through the pre-trip checklist: registration card in the glovebox, current insurance card on your phone, working SunPass or E-ZPass transponder for the electronic toll plazas along Interstate 71 / Interstate 75, and a printed backup of the destination address in case GPS reception drops. The locked itinerary measures 188 km (117 miles) with an optimistic estimate of 1h 47m if cruise control sits steadily within the posted limit. Pulling out of Cincinnati, the Ohio River metropolis and historic Queen City of the Midwest, the road eventually delivers you to Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana and home of the Indianapolis 500 motor race. Schedule departure outside the morning rush window and pack a thermos of coffee to skip an unscheduled stop in the first hundred miles. Budget around $15.73 just for the pump (17.1 liters / 4.5 gallons of regular unleaded) plus headroom for tolls. Outbound reimbursement at $0.43/km equals $80.84 cleared to the driver.
