KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Chalmette

  • Several benefits are associated with using car rentals in Chalmette over public transport. Chalmette car rentals allow you to visit hidden trails and remote places that are impossible to get to by train or bus. You can arrange an impromptu trip at a moment's notice and are not constrained to pre-set public transport routes or schedules. Rental cars provide plenty of storage space and can accommodate those traveling as a group. They are fitted with accessories such as air conditioning, GPS, and Bluetooth-enabled speakers to ensure renters are comfortable throughout the trip. Chalmette Battlefield and Chalmette Monument are significant landmarks in Chalmette that you can visit with your rental car.
  • When visiting Chalmette, you will fly into Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). After you have collected your bags, proceed to the Consolidated Rental Car Facility shuttle stop. You will board the courtesy shuttle bus, which runs at regular intervals, to the south terminal where you will find the Consolidated Rental Car Facility. The car rental kiosks are on the first floor. After you sign your rental agreement, your rental agent will provide the directions and keys to your rental car. Returns must be at least 21 with a valid driver's license to obtain a rental car in Chalmette.
  • In addition to the road rules and regulations, drivers should be aware of this town’s driving culture and road conditions before using car rentals in Chalmette.

Rather than responding aggressively, get out of their way without engaging. Inattentive drivers are commonplace, so keep your distance. Roads are paved and in good condition. Chalmette has mixed road types, and those in the older parts of the town and in the city center are narrow. In the downtown area, where pedestrians and cyclists are common, you should proceed with caution.

We could not pick up any car. They said they didn’t have any car available for days. So, why did Kayak send me a confirmation email?

Pros:

Literally nothing.

Cons:

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.

The Budget online system directed us to a location that had zero cars. We had to go with all of our luggage to second location. Our order confirmed by credit card was for a convertible Mustang or similar. The second location doesn't have any convertible cars at all. Because of Budget we wasted 3 hours. They offered us only one uncomfortable car, which was not even washed. I expect a refund. I paid for something completely different, plus Budget caused a long delay in my journey, which impacted the day.

Pros:

Houston staff was helpful and understanding.

Cons:

Pickup in New Orleans could have been better: the representative did not give us a chance to inspect the car nor did he notate the amount of gas in the tank. Luckily we took a photo showing the tank was not full when we received the car, because in Houston at drop off they were expecting the car to be full until we explained and had the picture as proof. We also discovered while driving that one of the headlights was out, which the New Orleans representative did not inform us/note down, but the Houston representative noticed immediately before we even told him.

This rental location is a complete disaster. It is a hertz office and they have NO idea what they are doing. Booked the reservation, called to confirm they had a car, arrived to pick up and just like the previous time I attempted to rent from this location, NO CAR. Had to pitch a fit to finally get them to honor a reservation. Two people on calls with customer service in the waiting area to address their concerns. It is a joke. I make every effort to rent from Enterprise when I need a local rental and try to avoid this location at all costs.
