Additionally, Gonzales sits on the Mississippi River road and is a great starting point to explore other river road attractions like the Houmas House Plantation and Laura Plantation.

- When driving cheap car rentals in Gonzales, it is important to know that the city has a mix of rural and urban areas. As a result, the driving style varies depending on the location. Generally, drivers in Gonzales are calm and relaxed, but they can get impatient and aggressive during rush hours when the roads are congested.

The common vehicles on the road are pickup trucks, SUVs, and sedans.
- Gonzales has its rush hour traffic in the morning from 7 am to 8 am and in the evening from 4 pm to 6 pm, particularly on its main roads such as Airline Highway and Highway 30. Hence, it's important to avoid driving during rush hour traffic if possible. Additionally, certain seasons of the year can pose potential challenges for driving cheap car rentals in Gonzales. During the summer months, the city experiences high temperatures and frequent downpours, which can make the roads slick and hazardous to drive.

Oct 2017
Pros:
Return was easyCons:
I used the airport code to find a car. Booked economy. Got to the airport to pick it up and they told me I booked it off site and that location was already closed. (Why would it let me book the car if I was booking when the location was closed?) So the airport said they could only get me a full size and I would have to pay for a full size. According to the employee, this happens to people a lot. Unacceptable. Not using Enterprise again. Haven't received email receipt.10.0 Wonderful

You don’t find out everything you need to know until you pay for the car and they don’t tell you that they do a credit check. Also the service at the store was horrible, I noticed a lot of customers left unhappy.9.6 Wonderful
Oct 2018
Pros:
The clean car itself. It looked and smelled new despite having higher miles than most rentals I've seen. It was also very comfortable. And the integrity. There were 3 scratches on the car that they caught and noted that before dropping the car off to me. I have been manipulated in this with others before.Cons:
The price. I know you can't avoid all taxes and fees, but $90 for driving 64 miles one way is a little high in my opinion.10.0 Wonderful
