Since Hammond is laid out like a grid and is mostly an urban setting, you will want to rent a compact vehicle for easy navigation of city streets and more parking options. Compact vehicles will also be more fuel-efficient in the event that you want to take a road trip to either Baton Rouge or New Orleans. If you have a larger group with you, a small sedan will do the trick, providing ample legroom but still fitting into compact parking spots.
