KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Opelousas

  • A rented car from the car rentals in Opelousas is key to unlocking a richer, more personalized travel experience in the scenic town of Opelousas, Louisiana. A rented car from Opelousas car rentals grants you the freedom to explore the area at your own pace, unhindered by public transport schedules. Compared to public transport options like buses and trains, a rented car ensures convenience, especially when visiting places or attractions with limited connectivity. The historic Le Vieux Village de Poste des Opelousas and the Evangeline Downs Racetrack & Casino are among these attractions. Additionally, the Rural African American Museum and the Creole Heritage Folklife Center become more manageable to reach.
  • Most travelers flying to Opelousas use Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT) as their destination airport. To rent a car at Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT), please note that rental car offices are in the terminal building, a short walk from the baggage claim. Top car rental options like Avis, Hertz, Enterprise, and Budget are accessible at LFT, offering various car rental options for your transportation convenience.
  • To enjoy driving your car rentals in Opelousas, it's important to be aware of certain driving nuances. For instance, jaywalking is relatively common downtown, especially along Main Street and Landry Street. Pedestrians might cross unexpectedly. Similarly, bicyclists often enter the road without much notice, so maintaining a safe distance and anticipating their movements would be wise. To avoid accidents while driving your rented car from the Opelousas car rentals, you'll have to practice attentive driving, obey speed limits, and stay vigilant at crosswalks.
  • In Opelousas, LA, rush hour traffic typically occurs from 7 am to 9 am and 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm on weekdays. During rush hour, you may face significant driving difficulties due to the traffic congestion commonly observed on I-49 and US-190. Besides the rush hour traffic, rainy conditions may also affect the driving conditions. Although Opelousas generally experiences mild winters without heavy snowfall, rain can occasionally cause slick roads.
