For those looking into car rentals in Covington, consider renting a small car, such as a compact or an economy car. Because Covington streets are so small and narrow, it will be much easier to navigate your way through the city if you're driving a smaller car. And if you drive across the lake into New Orleans, a smaller car will be easier to negotiate through the city’s traffic congestion.

Most streets in the city of Covington have a maximum speed limit of 25 mph. If you drive beyond the Covington city limits onto undivided rural roads, the speed limit is 55 mph. The speed limit of Interstate 12, which courses through Covington, is 70 mph. But as I-12 stretches further out into more rural areas in both directions, the speed limit becomes 75 mph. The speed limit in a school zone is 15 mph. If, when you are driving car rentals in Covington, you get a speeding ticket, it can cost from $100 to $300 in most situations.

Downtown Covington has parking lots called Ox Lots, as a nod to Covington's history. These Ox Lots provide parking off the street that is free to the public, welcoming everyone from downtown visitors to city employees. You're unlikely to find parking meters on the streets of Covington, but if you cross the lake to New Orleans, you will find that parking meters operate Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 7 pm and charge $2 to $3 an hour.
