ASP.net MVC 5 routing: base url not working without home/Index on the end

The base url for my project won't work without Home/Index on the end. How can I ensure that if the base url is entered without Home/Index, that it is rerouted automatically to the home page. Also, Is there a way to get rid of Home/Index altogether from the url? Thanks

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
        name: "Default",
        url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );
}
