KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Chalmette

  • Several benefits are associated with using car rentals in Chalmette over public transport. Chalmette car rentals allow you to visit hidden trails and remote places that are impossible to get to by train or bus. You can arrange an impromptu trip at a moment's notice and are not constrained to pre-set public transport routes or schedules. Rental cars provide plenty of storage space and can accommodate those traveling as a group. They are fitted with accessories such as air conditioning, GPS, and Bluetooth-enabled speakers to ensure renters are comfortable throughout the trip. Chalmette Battlefield and Chalmette Monument are significant landmarks in Chalmette that you can visit with your rental car.
  • When visiting Chalmette, you will fly into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). After you have collected your bags, proceed to the Consolidated Rental Car Facility shuttle stop. You will board the courtesy shuttle bus, which runs at regular intervals, to the south terminal where you will find the Consolidated Rental Car Facility. The car rental kiosks are on the first floor. After you sign your rental agreement, your rental agent will provide the directions and keys to your rental car. Returns must be at least 21 with a valid driver's license to obtain a rental car in Chalmette.
  • In addition to the road rules and regulations, drivers should be aware of this town’s driving culture and road conditions before using car rentals in Chalmette. Chalmette drivers are respectful and polite, with good driving etiquette. However, you may come across some rude drivers with aggressive driving and offensive gestures when their progress is impeded. Rather than responding aggressively, get out of their way without engaging. Inattentive drivers are commonplace, so keep your distance. Roads are paved and in good condition. Chalmette has mixed road types, and those in the older parts of the town and in the city center are narrow. In the downtown area, where pedestrians and cyclists are common, you should proceed with caution.

Some streets to avoid during the rush hour are East Judge Perez Drive, Saint Bernard Highway, Angela Street, and Paris Road.

The customer service rep at Hertz was lovely, very polite and great service your website (kayak) allowed me to book a vehicle but after walking a few blocks with my luggage to fins out that Hertz can't accommodate because they dont have enough vehicles to do a same day reservation so we then had to walk around the area trying to find a different car rental So experience was not very good, based on this experience would not recommend Kayak

I wanted to pickup and return my car rental at the airport (MSY), but the rental location Kayak gave me was 30 mins away and required the additional rental of an uber or lift ride. I should have been warned my rental location was not compatible with my airport.

We could not pick up any car. They said they didn’t have any car available for days. So, why did Kayak send me a confirmation email?

The Budget online system directed us to a location that had zero cars. We had to go with all of our luggage to second location. Our order confirmed by credit card was for a convertible Mustang or similar. The second location doesn't have any convertible cars at all. Because of Budget we wasted 3 hours. They offered us only one uncomfortable car, which was not even washed. I expect a refund. I paid for something completely different, plus Budget caused a long delay in my journey, which impacted the day.
