KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Covington

  • Car rentals in Covington are a wonderful way to get around this small city on the northern shores of Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana. Since public transportation is largely unavailable, car rentals in Covington can get you around the city and to interesting sites and cities beyond Covington city limits. You can visit the Insta-Gator Ranch and Hatchery in town or the Big Branch Marsh National Wildlife Refuge just outside town to the southeast. You can drive to Baton Rouge to the west, New Orleans to the south, or Biloxi, Mobile, Gulf Shores, or Pensacola to the east.
  • Located just an hour’s drive south of Covington across Lake Pontchartrain, the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) makes a convenient and efficient location for securing Covington car rentals. Once you deplane at MSY, you can get to the Rental Car Center by exiting baggage claim and walking towards the Long-Term Parking Garage to the Rental Car Center Shuttle Stop. Here, you can board the shuttle about every 5 minutes, 24/7. The shuttle ride to the Rental Car Center takes about 15 to 20 minutes. When you drop off your rental car, you can take the shuttle back to the terminal.
  • When you're driving car rentals in Covington, you will most likely experience traffic congestion simply because Covington roads are too small for today's larger vehicles. The streets of downtown Covington were mapped out and built in the 1800s before the automobile was even invented. Therefore, it is sometimes difficult to drive on these small streets, especially if a large vehicle, such as a pick-up truck or an SUV, is approaching you from the opposite direction. For those driving car rentals in Covington, exercise patience and caution.
  • For those driving car rentals in Covington, you will experience some problems with the roads. Roads in Covington have notoriously bad conditions, with potholes and sinkholes, for example. Such problems seldom seem to get fixed in Covington. For those in Covington car rentals who want to drive to or towards New Orleans, drive defensively. New Orleans is a city that has a high number of traffic accidents compared to other cities.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Covington?

    For those looking into car rentals in Covington, consider renting a small car, such as a compact or an economy car.

The speed limit in a school zone is 15 mph. If, when you are driving car rentals in Covington, you get a speeding ticket, it can cost from $100 to $300 in most situations.

  • Where are the best places to park in Covington?

    Downtown Covington has parking lots called Ox Lots, as a nod to Covington's history. These Ox Lots provide parking off the street that is free to the public, welcoming everyone from downtown visitors to city employees. You're unlikely to find parking meters on the streets of Covington, but if you cross the lake to New Orleans, you will find that parking meters operate Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 7 pm and charge $2 to $3 an hour.

The staff at the local Hertz franchise are mediocre at best. The worst part of this experience is that this local Hertz location does not have a local working telephone number - therefore communicating with these folks was quite the challenge when attempting to call . NEVER AGAIN ! Not Hertz or KAYAK
