New Orleans is subject to rain throughout the year, but especially in January, and in June through August. If it is raining while you are driving your New Orleans SUV rental, it is best to drive more slowly. Leave more space between you and the other vehicles on the road because it is more difficult to stop on a wet road. If local weather reports warn of a coming hurricane, tropical storm, or severe rainstorm, play it safe and refrain from driving to avoid downed power lines, fallen tree branches, and flooded roadways.
In New Orleans and throughout Louisiana, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent an SUV. Many car rental agencies will, however, add a daily extra fee to any renters who are younger than 25. Therefore, if you are younger than 25 and interested in New Orleans SUV rentals, it is well worth your while to research different New Orleans car rental agencies to compare the daily fee that you will be charged.

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

Everything. The guy was an hour and a half late then just said, “Oh well you shouldn’t have been able to book it earlier.” No apology, no discount... It ruined our whole day because we were two hours late after he had to drive us to another location because the one I reserved the car at apparently only had a 12-passenger van he kept trying to get us to take. There were three of us! We didn’t want the damn van.One location in New Orleans

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

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 there2.0 Poor

Pros:
I don't know. They never picked us up after we waited at the airport. We had to pay over $500 for another retnal car or spend the night at the hotel.Cons:
Someone actually coming to pick us up after hours after we tried calling two times. I need to know how to get a refund.2.0 Poor
Mar 2021
Pros:
Zero aspect of itCons:
It is not at the airport, so you have to take a shuttle. We waited about an hour for the shuttle since there was a long line. We were dropped at the rental car facility, only to find out that Green Motion was at a different location. From there, we were told to call their number and that they would pick us up. They did, and brought us to the sketchy, old, worn building. The check-in process took forever and once we finally got to our car, we noticed multiple issues. For one, the handle of the driver door comes off when you pull open the door. When we put our belongings in the trunk, the back of it was falling apart. The back driver window also was not sealed correctly, so it sounded like it was howling when as you drove. And the biggest problem? The rotors need to be replaced ASAP. Every time we starting breaking, it would have a horrible grinding sound. On top of that, they are open between the hours of 8-4 and apparently closed Sundays? The passengers we rode with had a 7AM flight on Sunday and found that they would need an Uber/Lyft to return to the airport. The only “nice” thing about our experience was the fact they shuttled you back directly to the airport. I would recommend this to NO ONE.2.0 Poor

Nothing. They never provided me with a car and they were closed when I arrived.Cons:
