KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Hammond

  • Car rentals in Hammond, Louisiana, are the perfect way to explore everything this small southern city has to offer. There are public buses in Hammond, but these don’t run frequently and may not reach the places you want to visit. As a result, Hammond car rentals will allow you greater flexibility to make the most of your time in the city. With car rentals in Hammond, you can visit one of the many breweries or take a road trip to either Baton Rouge or New Orleans. Hammond is also not far from the coast, so you can enjoy a beach day.
  • If you are arriving in Hammond by plane, you’ll most likely be flying into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). You can pick up Hammond car rentals here. You can find rental car companies in the MSY consolidated rental car center. You will need to take the free shuttle to this rental car center. You can find the pickup point in front of the long-term parking garage, which is within walking distance of the baggage claim area outside level 1.
  • Driving car rentals in Hammond, Louisiana, is not challenging. The roads are generally in good condition and the local drivers usually follow the rules of the road. The city is mostly laid out like a grid, so you will not have to worry about winding roads or steep slopes. However, it is home to Southeastern Louisiana University, so when driving around campus, watch for students on foot or on bikes.
  • Driving car rentals in Hammond can sometimes present challenges during rush hours, typically from 6 am to 8 am and again from 5 pm to 7 pm The roads most affected by this are State Route 51, I-12, and E Thomas Highway, as these are the roads leading into and out of the city. Try to avoid these routes during peak hours. Because of the landscape of Louisiana, the area is also prone to flooding after heavy rain, so always check the road conditions before setting out during or after a storm.

Pros:

Staff was very polite and friendly.

Cons:

I waited 30 min and they couldn't decide which car to give me. I ended up with a smaller car which was fine except it was very dirty inside, the tire light came on. For $95/day you don't send out a car that looks like its 30 years old. I wasn't going to wait for another car so just took it. I heard the supervisor on the phone telling someone they were short handed but there were 4 employees inside. Not sure who was around back cleaning cars. I had a reservation so not sure what the issues were. Car should have been ready.

Do people are very nice but The van was extremely dirty. It was an older car and not everything worked in it. The sliding doors would only work once in a while.
