KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Gonzales

  • If you love antiques and shopping, then renting cheap car rentals in Gonzales will give you access to some of the best antique markets in Louisiana, such as the Prairieville Flea Market and Gonzales Jambalaya Festival Association. 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. Public transportation in the city may be limited, and taxis are expensive, so using Gonzales car rentals is an excellent option to travel around the city and neighboring areas at your own pace.
  •  New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport (MSY) is approximately 55 miles from Gonzales. The rental car offices at MSY are located on the first level of the parking garage across from the baggage claim area. Baton Rouge Ryan Airport (BTR) is about 20 miles from Gonzales. The rental car offices at the BTR are located across the street from the baggage claim area. Lafayette Regional Airport (LFT) is approximately 50 miles from Gonzales. The rental car offices at LFT are located directly across from baggage claim within walking distance.
  • 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. Bicycles are not very common on the roadways, so there is less risk of encountering them while driving. However, there are a lot of trucks on the road, particularly on highways such as Interstate 10. 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. In the fall, particularly between October to November, Gonzales is prone to flooding due to the area's low elevation and proximity to the Mississippi River.

I was told that my reservation was cancelled because I did not forsee a delay in my travel for a mechanical failure to the airplane when I made the reservation two weeks in advance. After explaining that to the Hertz employees and leaving to find alternative transportation I was given a rental car. I would not recommend a rental from this location.

It was an easy experience. I had some wait time at the Budget in Baton Rouge but once I get checked in, I signed a few papers and checked the car. Then I was on my way. The car was a good and clean vehicle, tank was filled with gas. Pretty seamless. Drop-off in Broken Arrow was even easier. He checked the mileage and gave me my receipt, and I was on my way. Fast and efficient experience.

I’ve been online and did ExpressCheck in. When I arrived, I had to wait in line, which was fine, except that there was no privacy for discussions about money, and the person in front of me are very upsetting experience. I did finally reached the counter and ported that I had already checked in through Xpress and paid, the staff person told me that I had not paid that I had simply entered the information. He then charged me. I now have two charges on my credit card of two fees from two separate agreements. I also see that the receipt I got was for one price, $77 I don’t my credit card I still see the deposit charge of $200. All toll I have a charge of over $500 for a car that was supposed to cost me $77 for 24 hour period. I fully expect to get the deposits back because the car was in good shape and the attendant at the New Orleans airport and drop off, the nicest person in the whole process, told me everything was fine. So yes got a good experience.

The pickup process was very quick and the vehicle I was given was very clean and nice. The drop off process was very quick and easy as well which was just what I needed. The only thing I would change was the price but I know the prices will increase when you drop off at at a different location
