Cons:
Waited 1.5 hours in line before deciding to cancel and book with Alamo. Was completely backed up on Memorial Day weekend with only 1 person working (I felt bad for her!) Truly a mess.4,0 Mediocre
May 2021
Cons:
We had to wait 3 hours from the time we got to the place to the time we got on our car , there where about 35 to 40 customers waiting in line with 1 lady doing her best to take 2 sometimes 3 customers at one time, got to the car and was dirty inside and out, like they just half azz clean it just o get it out. This will be the last time I use this company4,0 Mediocre
Mar 2021
Pros:
The man running the desk was very slow. We stood in line for 2 hours. Each customer took about 20 minutes to process. Then they were out of cars, so we ended up with a 12 passenger van for the two of us. Not cool.Cons:
Reservations shouldn't be confirmed if there are not enough cars. Once it's confirmed, customers should get what they reserved. There is no reason for the process to take so long. Over at the Alamo counter, people were zipping through.2,0 Poor
Mar 2021
Pros:
The rental counter staff was friendly but the customer service and wishy information was poor.Cons:
Better understanding of what can be given to people. Being 23 I understand I have to pay a fee to rent a car. Fully understanding and confirming I can get the rental I reserved only to be rejected at the counter with no other type of rental and way to my hotel room in an unknown due to my age was honestly the worst experience I could have. Budget needs to find a way for them to step in and get concrete facts of what can and cannot be offered at EACH rental counter. Being told that each rental counter has its own rules is good but please tell me that before I get there to pick the rental up so I understand how to get somewhere.10,0 Wonderful
Aug 2020
Cons:
This was my first time renting a car from the airport, they were friendly and accommodating. I was super nervous, mostly because with the new COVID procedures. The only thing I wish I had done was do a little research about the whole process. I didn’t know I would just walk out to my car, I was terrified I was in the wrong car! (That was plainly marked, I just tend to doubt myself a lot) But everyone I dealt with was friendly and it really was a good experience!Hertz

The insurance costs were insane. I for whatever reason couldn’t get insurance when I purchased the rental online, which was quoted to be $300ish dollars. So I thought I would get it when I picked up the car. When I did it was $1200 dollars. Insane.8,0 Very Good

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.2,0 Poor

Cons:
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
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

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
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
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:
Teka was very friendly and helpful. This car rental company is off-site from the rental center to provide lower rates, so the facilities are sparse. The car was great and clean and it was an excellent experience.Cons:
We had difficulty reaching the main number but were finally picked-up at the bus stop at the car rental center. The vehicle was great except for the dirty inside of the windshield.8,0 Very Good

Pros:
Pickup was great, Nick was very friendly and helpful. This is a budget operation, so the facilities are sparse. The car was great and clean, except for the inside of the windshield.Cons:
The drop-off was on a Sunday, and handled by someone who was not an actual employee of the company. It was NOT a good experience!6,0 Okay
Apr 2021
Cons:
Just a heads up. This rental company IS NOT LOCATED AT THE CAR RENTA CENTER. You have to take one shuttle from the airport to the car the car rental center and the call them for them to come pick you up there to take you to their place. I specifically chose companies at the terminal to avoid this, but still got this as a choice only to be surprised once I got to the rental center that it was not there10,0 Wonderful

Pros:
The staff was friendly. The car was in great condition, and the price was fair.Cons:
It was a bit confusing picking up the car. We took the shuttle from the airport but there were no “Ace” signs at the car rental area. I had to ask someone working at a different rental agency how to find them. She called Ace and they picked us up to take us to their location. I would have appreciated more information about the pick up process.9,2 Wonderful

I rented just before the advent of tropical storm Barry. Under the difficult circumstances, the staff at ACE was more than accommodating in negotiating the unknowns of the weather. Certainly, their care alleviated an additional worry in a trying time.5,6 Fair

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.
