Private Car & Black Car Service to Purdue University

Split a private van with friends or colleagues and go directly where you want, when you want.

The Only Reliable Ride to Purdue After Hours

Flights into IND and O'Hare don't always cooperate with campus shuttle schedules. When you land late or have to leave before sunrise, ride-shares are scarce and unpredictable in West Lafayette. Lightning Limo runs on your flight — not a fixed timetable.

  • Midnight arrivals and pre-dawn departures, every day
  • Real-time flight tracking — we adjust when your flight shifts
  • Guaranteed, pre-booked ride — no surge, no cancellations
  • Direct to your dorm, apartment, hotel, or campus building

Share a Private Van — Your Group, Your Schedule

Heading the same direction as friends, teammates, or colleagues? Split a private Mercedes Sprinter and go directly where you want, at the time you choose — for less per person than separate rides.

One Van, One Flat Price

Up to 14 passengers share a single rate. The bigger the group, the lower the cost per person — far cheaper than multiple cars.

Leave When You Want

No fixed departure windows. You pick the pickup time and we build the trip around your group's plans — game, flight, or night out.

Direct, No Detours

Straight to your destination — no shared stops or roundabout routing. Door to door for the whole crew with room for luggage and gear.

Purdue Football & Basketball Transportation

Skip the parking lots and tailgate gridlock. We drop your group right at the gates of Ross-Ade and Mackey and pick you up after the final whistle.

Ross-Ade Stadium

Purdue Boilermakers football. We handle drop-off and post-game pickup so your group can tailgate and cheer without worrying about parking or a designated driver.
