Use the Hertz app to check in. All you’ll have to do at the airport is pickup the waiting car
Verified travelerApr 2025
Plan ahead. We had a change in plans and some rental companies were not sending any cars to certain states, saying they had sent enough to one state or another already. Realize that you do not have to use the airport rental counters. You may be lucky enough to get a car near the Quarter, if that is where you are staying.
Verified travelerJuly 2024
Check yourself in and complete all the needed info before to are standing in front of the customer service rep. When you do this you will not hold up other customer trying to get the rentals also.
Verified travelerMar 2024
Give yourself extra time in your day. Don’t book a car and give yourself zero time for delays. Book in advance and don’t count on just showing up and then having cars.

Nifty Car Rental is a local company that has great prices and treats you like an old friend. Can’t recommend them enough. They came and picked me up from the Budget office when Budget didn’t have cars.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in New Orleans

  • New Orleans is a cultural melting pot of diverse heritage, world-renowned music, exceptional nightlife, and culinary options. Renting a car will help you maximize your time in New Orleans; whether you aim to explore the varied wetlands that the surrounding lakes and Mississippi River have to offer, or would prefer to discover secrets spread across the downtown metropolis, renting a car is the best option. Aside from checking out the distinctive Creole-styled architecture in the French Quarter, ensure you venture across Lake Pontchartrain and witness the isolated beauty of Fontainebleau State Park and Mandeville.
  • The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is located approximately 4.5 miles from the downtown area and you can expect to complete the drive in about 25 minutes. Major hire companies such as Enterprise, Budget, Hertz, and Dollar have a range of hire options to suit you; you can use KAYAK to find the best deal. Once you have collected your luggage, proceed towards the exit and take a right turn under the sheltered walkway towards the Car hire Facility to pick up your keys.
  • Streetcars, commonly referred to as trams in other parts of the world, are present in the center of town and you must be careful while driving to provide the right of way and ensure you do not stop on the tracks. While drinking alcohol on the street is uniquely legal in New Orleans, having an open alcoholic container in your car while driving is not. Right-hand turns on a red light are legal in New Orleans unless otherwise indicated.
  • Like most major cities, New Orleans experiences rush hour delays at peak commuting periods of the work week. It is advisable to plan around the rush hour between 7:30 am and 9:30 am, as well as 4 pm and 7 pm. People come to New Orleans from all across the world to celebrate events such as Mardi Gras and the Jazz & Heritage Festival. During these festivities, traffic is particularly affected close to the French Quarter so, if you are in the city during this period, allow some extra time to reach your destination.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in New Orleans for $62 or less
  • Supplier choice hire cars in New Orleans are around 68% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about hiring a car in New Orleans

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in New Orleans?

    There are plenty of winding, narrow, or dead-end streets throughout New Orleans, thanks to the town shaping around the Mississippi River. That’s why it is best to rent an intermediate sedan to suit. Use KAYAK to view the best deals across all hire companies and think about renting something similar to a Kia Soul or Hyundai Elantra.

  • What’s the speed limit in New Orleans?

    The speed limit in the residential and commercial area of New Orleans can vary from 20 mph up to 45 mph, so be careful to check the indicated signage.

  • Where are the best places to park in New Orleans?

    Commercially operated parking garages are the best option for secure parking in the downtown district. At Clarke Garage and Commerce Garage, both located on Gravier Street on the outskirts of the French Quarter, you can expect to pay approximately $10 to $15 for all-day weekend parking. Leave your car here for the day and explore the downtown district conveniently on foot.

Despite having a reservation they didn’t actually have any cars. The wait for a car was an hour and half and the seating area was full of people waiting for cars. I had a scheduled tour so I had to call another company for a car. Not sure what is going on but Budget needs to figure things out.

Staff were unfriendly and unhelpful at both locations for my one-way rental. At the pickup, they had overbooked, and I had to wait over an hour for a car to come in (some people with reservations were turned away). I was also told I had to buy their insurance to take the car, and had to work very hard to get that charge removed.

We used their “skip the line” feature, which led to us waiting in three lines. The first person we encountered refused to even look our reservation up, sending us to another counter. That counter sent us back to the first counter. While we waited in the third line we listened as the associate gave away the cars randomly, telling folks to pick anything they wanted in spots 1-20. Oddly those slots held everything from compacts to SUVs, which do not rent for the same rates. We ended up with the last small SUV, even though we paid for a mid sized SUV. No apology for the poor service either. Sad.

While the vehicle was good, but the service with the reception staff was awesome. Ken was key to this experience. Given the time I arrived to the facility, she recognized I must have been exhausted. However, she pleasantly welcomed me. Additionally, she was very patient and accommodating during the credit card transaction. I had to try two separate cards before I found one that work. Of course, this slowed down the remainder of the line. nonetheless, great experience. I only wish every counter experience was like that experienced with Ken. Thanks.

Enterprise was fine. I didn't get a car. I cancelled the reservation bc I was going to use the car for driving for Uber. When I inquired about it, I found out that I could not do that. They were very accommodating about it. But the insurance company charged $126 for a full week of insurance. I cancelled with Enterprise and Kayak. (Who I thought sold me the insurance). When the money was charged to my account, I immediately contacted them to let them know that I had cancelled. So far the response I have gotten is insurance co. tells me to contact Kayak and Kayak tells me to contact insurance co. for a refund. So far haven't received any money back. So can you please let me know why I e been charged for something I didn't utilize and had cancelled prior to needing it. Thank you, Stacye Stone

Booked the reservation, called to confirm they had a car, arrived to pick up and just like the previous time I attempted to rent from this location, NO CAR. Had to pitch a fit to finally get them to honor a reservation. Two people on calls with customer service in the waiting area to address their concerns. It is a joke. I make every effort to rent from Enterprise when I need a local rental and try to avoid this location at all costs.

We didn’t get a vehicle because they didn’t have a van for us after they had sent emails saying our rental was ready for us. Waited 2 hrs and got stories about the van needing to be cleaned. Finally admitted they didn’t have a van. A waste of time.

Got to the counter for pickup and they were out of cars. Didn’t do anything to help, said we would need to contact customer service. Ended up giving us a lower-category car hours later with no refund (paid for an SUV, got a small car). Terrible experience on thanksgiving day with a 4 month old baby and 2 seniors.

I rented through Dollar because our group of EIGHT NEEDED a Ford Transit and that’s what I reserved. Alas, at pick up, we were STUCK with a KIA suv. Luggage was a huge hassle and getting into the rear of the vehicle, a challenge for our 70 year olds. I was thoroughly disappointed.

I love being able to be pre approved because the line at the counter was long and not moving. It did take some time for the text to go through for me to accept the car. Very easy to find the car and return the car.

The car was not available an hour after scheduled pick up and the line was too long for me to wait as I had movers waiting for me at my home. I asked the person at the front counter what I could do and they told me I would have to wait. No ETA or timeline offered. After I left, I checked back to see if it was available that afternoon-still no car available. Even an hour before my scheduled drop-off it said that the car was not yet available online. Worst experience working with a rental car company ever.

I didn’t have a very good experience with Ace. They cars Are very old and apparently are being used for personal vehicles by one of the employees. I brought my vehicle back, gassed up and timely on Thursday, June 13. This is the morning of Friday, June 14. I still don’t have the rental agreement and I still don’t have my $400 deposit back. Which is causing me to miss my flight this morning to Washington DC, that $400 was a part of my expense account and as a result of not having it back, (because they did not process the paperwork timely) I’m in trouble with my job. Needless to say, I’m not very happy with Ace car rental.😩

We are very desappointed because we did not pay the price we booked (about +50%) because there were lots of additionnal charges like the mandotory assurance (we didn’t know we needed to proove that we had a personnal assurance, if so, we should asked a proof to our insurrance to avoid the additionnal charges), a deposit of 2000$ and we were charged because we paid it by card, the car was old with lots of miles and they told us we were not allowed to drive 200miles away from New Orleans. Hopefully our trip was next New Orleans, but if you want to make a road trip it’s a problem. The last, but not least you can read on the door office that the price can change depending on the customer ! I really don’t recommand this Rental.

Pros:

Very friendly staff. One staff member offered to even drive us to the airport for 10% less than an Uber so we didn't have to wait for one or move our luggage!

Cons:

The woman we signed out papers with could have talked a bit slower. She spoke so quickly we had to ask multiple times for her to repeat herself. But she was very friendly and helpful!

Great price compared to others. Hertz cancelled my reservation as I was getting on the plane. Fine Found this last minute. No complaints.

Cons:

They push the insurance scam real hard. They try to tell you you got to have proof of personal insurance with you. I walked out the door.

Pros:

The staff was somewhat friendly but they are stuck in a fowl location and many of there customers are turned away and unhappy.

Cons:

They could have clearly stated in big letters that they don’t rent to any one who doesn’t have proof of full collision auto insurance.

Made a reservation. Went the next day to pick up the car after adding additional items that morning (insurance and gas pre-paid) only to arrive at the counter to be told they would not honor the reservation.

Thought customer service poor. Unable to get vehicle . Kia Sorento small for 7 people and luggage. Unable to upgrade with paying 45 more per day, no vehicles. Pathfinder not there or minivan. Charge for Expedition 75 a day more. Too expensive. Was charged for extra driver 13.99 a day. Showed rental coverage policy saying no charge. Still charged extra. Not pleased with service. Told no vehicles in to accommodate us. Had seniors . Sent to 3rd floor and slot to pick up car. Had to find someone to help us there. Luggage space small with 3rd row up even with carry on. Basically put luggage between seats. Uncomfortable ride to travel 2.5 hours from airport. Very disappointed

Self checking in. The rental process was swift since I self check myself. Interaction with an agent last only 15 minutes. I was frustrated with the air line for the twice delayed then canceled but Thrifty got me on the road quickly!

Pre booked and pre paid rental. We had to wait more than an hour to receive the car. Also payment. We had prepaid but when checking in we had to pay quite some extras in context of taxes .... Not correct way of doing business

Slow. Despite accepting the booking didn't have the booked car. Then didn't have an alternate ready even though pick up time was on booking, then didn't have a clean car. Overall, it was not a great experience.
