  • 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.

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.
