Cheap car hire at Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport
Top tips for hiring a car at Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport
- Booking a car rental at New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport is a nice way to have a comfortable and reliable mode of transportation for the duration of your stay in the region. While New Orleans does have public transportation, such as the local bus, driving is still one of the simplest and quickest ways to get where you need to go. Having your own New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport car rental will also allow you to go on trips to nearby cities, such as Gretna or Kenner.
- There are many different models for you to choose from for your car rental at New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport. If you plan on primarily exploring the city center, a compact vehicle can be a convenient option. Those that are in the mood to treat themselves can always opt for a luxury car instead. If you have several travelers that will be joining you, or you will be traveling with a substantial amount of luggage, an SUV is a nice option.
- Returning your car rental at New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport is a simple task, as you only need to bring it back to the parking area at 600 Rental Boulevard. Each company that has a branch at the airport keeps its fleet in this area, so keep your eyes open for the parking location of your specific rental company. Some companies will allow you to return your rental after their regular business hours in case you have a flight that departs early in the morning or late at night.
- New Orleans is famous for being a bustling business hub and a popular destination amongst travelers, so it is not uncommon for its roads to be congested. One way to avoid getting caught in traffic is to plan on picking up and dropping off your rental outside of rush hour, which typically occurs between the hours of 6.30 and 9 am and 5 and 7 pm. Some roads in the city are usually busier than others, and these can include Interstates 10 and 90.
- Book your car hire at Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

Pros:
location was inconvenient but the staff did their best considering.Cons:
The car was in bad shape . It sounded like the wheel bearings were completely shot and front and rear fenders weren't attached and were flapping in the wind on the freeway. It did last for the rental period but I wasn't sure it would.8,0 Very Good
Martha, Mar 2021
Pros:
Staff was friendly, car inspection was thorough and previous damage was clearly markedCons:
We were not made aware at time of rental that the car rental company was not located where the airport transportation dropped us off. The gentleman who picked us up was prompt and all went smoothly after our arrival at the car rental which was very close to the drop off point.6,0 Okay
Claudia, Mar 2021
Pros:
The service was ok. They were not located in the car rental area so a car had to go pick us up there and take us to the hotel where they were.Cons:

Pros:
Drop off was easyCons:
Took 1.5 hrs to get a car, the customer service at the desk was moving at a snails pace and we were in the middle of the line. Could not imagine how long it took for the last person to get a car. Did not have the car we ordered and then was charge over $100 in fees when we dropped it off. I guess its a bunch of fees for doing business at the airport.One location in New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport

Everything! The customer service in person at the counter and trying to call in was terrible! They didn’t have the type of vehicle we reserved or anything similar and was assured we could swap it out at our destination city which was a lie since the only branch was in New Orleans, two hours away from where we were at. I would NEVER use this service again after being hung up on for two hours when trying to correct the issue.6,0 Okay

Signage was unclear so we had a hard time finding where to find pickup counter. Car also smelled strongly of cigarette smoke when we picked up. We had to drive with windows down most of first day because of the smell, while the temperatures were in the 90s.One location in New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport

Vehicle had not been cleaned when I picked it up. Something sticky had been spilled, like a soda, and it was on the passenger door and on parts of the dash, such as the radio and air controls. It was also dirty on the outside.One location in New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport

Found old groceries in the van... which is not the vehicle we rented. Stood with my family for 45 minutes waiting for them to find something and they brought out a van and said this or wait. Not sure how it was cleaned when there was a bag of food under the seat. Oh well. Won’t do it again.6,0 Okay
Christopher, Jan 2021
Pros:
The staff at New Orleans was extremely helpful and made the process of picking up the vehicle very easy.Cons:
The vehicle was a new large suv that did not have any of the current safety systems and it did not have the XM radio turned on? For that rental price I would have thought that they would have included those items? Maybe next time?4,0 Mediocre
