KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Houma

  • Driving car rentals in Houma is a wonderful way to see this small city set along several waterways near the shores of the Gulf of Mexico. In Houma car rentals, you can visit the places and the people that you want to see according to your own agenda. You can see local sites including the Bayou Terrebonne Waterlife Museum, Annie Miller's Swamp Tours and Charters, and Jim Bowie Park. Houma car rentals give you the freedom to drive northeast to New Orleans, north to Baton Rouge, or northwest to Lafayette.
  • Located less than 50 miles northeast of Houma, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) makes a convenient location for securing Houma car rentals when you fly in to visit. At MSY, you can access the Rental Car Center by exiting baggage claim and heading toward the long-term parking garage. You will see the bus stop for the Rental Car Shuttle, which departs 24/7, about every 5 minutes. The journey from MSY to the Rental Car Center takes about 15 to 20 minutes. The rental car agency desks are lined up within the customer service center, and the cars are parked just outside.
  • For those driving car rentals in Houma, remember to always give pedestrians the right of way, even if a pedestrian is jaywalking. If you are driving in the rain, you must turn on your headlights. It is illegal in Houma and throughout Louisiana to drive while wearing headphones, but a single-ear earbud is permitted. Houma has a rural feel to it, but the roads are, in general, well-maintained. Houma has many waterways running through it, most of which are filled with alligators. So, when you are driving near a waterway, don't get out of your car to get a close-up look at an alligator.
  • One of the challenges you will face driving car rentals in Houma and throughout Louisiana is toll roads, but this doesn't have to be a problem. Consider investing in your car rental agency’s electronic toll program in order to avoid late fees and fines. If you are driving to New Orleans, you'll definitely run into a few tolls. You can find tolls on roads as well as bridges, such as the Louisiana Highway 1 Bridge and the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway.

Hello, I'm extremely unhappy with the car rental I paid for online. When I arrived at the chosen time and location, the company didn't exist. It was a scam. I was told to go in Morgan City, 60 miles away. I had no way to get there. I then called the company, which confirmed that I couldn't pick up the car in Houma because it no longer operates there, and they told me I just had to cancel the reservation. However, by canceling my reservation at the last minute, I won't receive a full refund. I am therefore requesting a full refund of the amount initially paid for this car rental, which was not possible, as well as compensation because I was forced to find another car rental agency, which cost me more than I had planned. I also had to pay taxi fares to get to the meeting point and to go to this other agency. I am very disappointed with this bad experience.
