KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Shreveport

  • Car rentals in Shreveport give you a reliable break from the humid weather in summer. While the air conditioning is worth the rental on a hot summer day, you will also have greater accessibility to cool off in nearby Cross Lake than if you relied solely on public transit. If you want to take in the iconic spots in Shreveport, a leisurely drive along the Red River is sure to be enjoyed from the comfort of your own vehicle. There are also many popular destinations beyond public transit service that are only accessible by car, such as off-the-grid restaurants that are popular among locals.
  • Shreveport Regional Airport (SHV) that services the Shreveport area, has a single terminal with Shreveport car rentals available on the ground level. Customers can pick up their car from the lot, which is within walking distance of the south end of the terminal. Some of the rental companies onsite are Avis, Hertz, and Enterprise.
  • As a major gambling hub, Shreveport has a number of casinos where drivers should exercise caution and use defensive driving. The areas around casinos become particularly crowded on weekend evenings from 8pm until early morning around 2am, and during any major events and holidays. If you are planning to drive through the casino areas at these times, give yourself plenty of extra time for traffic or waiting for pedestrians to cross the road. Although there are crosswalks and stoplights near the casinos, gamblers are known to risk the danger and jaywalk in crowds.
  • Shreveport averages over 51 inches of precipitation per year and can see severe thunderstorms with damaging hail, among other weather events. Rain is common throughout the year, with the highest average falling in June. If you are not accustomed to driving in rain and find yourself in a heavy storm, consider pulling over and finding a safe place to wait it out. When driving in rain, give yourself extra time and space for stopping, and use your headlights to ensure proper visibility.
  • If you love exploring new destinations, you should rent a car from one of the cheap car rentals in Shreveport. This is because, with a rental car from a cheap Shreveport car rental, you will be able to drive to superb destinations on the outskirts of Shreveport. Some of the destinations you can drive to include Broken Bow, Hot Springs Mountain, Albert Pike Recreational Area, and Vicksburg. All the noted destinations are within 3h of Shreveport.
  • From the moment you pick up your car from your cheap car rental in Shreveport to the moment you return, you should ensure that you drive within the set speed limits at all times. This is because, in Shreveport, the traffic fines are quite steep. In this city, you’ll be fined at least $115 if you’re caught driving 1 to 9 mph over the set speed limit, $215 if you’re caught driving 10 to 14 mph over the speed limit, and $240 miles if you’re caught over speeding by 15 to 19 mph. In case you’re found driving 21 mph over the set speed limit, you may be required to appear before a court.
  • If you intend to drive around with a child younger than 13 years in the rental car from your preferred cheap car rental in Shreveport, you should ensure that you have a child car seat installed on the rear seat of the car. This is because, in this city and the whole of Louisiana, children below the age of 13 must sit in an appropriate child car seat in the rear when riding in a car.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Shreveport for $45 or less
  • Standard rental cars in Shreveport are around 30% cheaper than other car types, on average

Excellent. We were upgraded for free. The car was very nice and accommodated our needs well. When we returned the car, my husband accidentally left his wallet on the counter. A few minutes later the associate came running after us to return it promptly! My only complaints are that I didn’t love the air freshener that they used…it was kind of a heavy smell. And for the drop off, the email sent didn’t have very clear instructions on where to park and what the drop off process was.

Pros:

Thrifty car location was not on Hollywood Ave. So I went to the airport and the Thrify booth was closed with a sign saying go to the Hertz Booth where the man was very rude and told me he did not do third party rentals. So he wanted to rent me a Hertz car completely ignoring the reservation I had and the charges that were paid the day before online and he would not listen to me. He was RACIST and Rude at the Hertz Booth and tried to duplicate charge my card for another rental. He refuse to correct the problem which I was not able to rent a car. My card will be refunded as i recurved a letter saying it would.

Cons:

First of all you did not tell me that Thrify was closed down on Hollywood Avenue Sevondly you did not tell me that the Thrify Booth was closed and that people would be sent to Hertz where this same older Racist rude white man would say I don’t do third party rentals this is my second experience with him.
