Top tips for renting a car at Lake Charles airport

  • No matter what the reason, the Lake Area in Louisiana is always a superb destination. On any trip here, you will probably land at Lake Charles Regional Airport (LCH). On business, sightseeing, or for a semester exchange, the best way to enjoy the region is through using Lake Charles Airport car hire services for all of your travel needs. Not sure where to start? No problem! KAYAK quickly and easily searches all the service providers, allowing you to compare the best offers. Just select what you need, and let us do the rest.
  • Car hire at Lake Charles Airport means that you can take full advantage of the extensive network of roads that connect the area, cities, natural parks and the bayous alike. From the airport, you have easy access to Baton Rouge via Highway 385 to Highway 3092 and then on to the I-10, and the I-210 South Bypass. This trip will take you roughly 2h. Should you need to go west, to Houston, you can also use the I-10, and the I-210 (Southern Bypass) but you will use Highway 3092 instead. Going to Houston, you can expect to spend 2h 30min on the road. The airport is also well-connected to the rest of the county and state, making driving a pleasure.
  • To make your journey as comfortable and enjoyable as possible, we advise you rent a car that meets the needs of the route you have planned. When heading into the bayou or the countryside, it's better to consider an SUV or other similar, larger vehicle. Business meetings or city tours require premium or compact, but comfortable cars. Whichever car you choose, be sure it has a good air conditioner, as Louisiana is renowned for heat and humidity, year-round. This way, you can avoid arriving at your destination tired and sweaty.
  • There are four companies providing in-terminal services for car hire at Lake Charles Airport and three more that provide services at the airport, either through concierge collection, meet and greet or shuttle services. Whichever option you choose, you can expect a fast, efficient and friendly service. For big groups, it's our recommendation that you hire a van, or a tour carrier, as it will save costs. It also makes logistics easier, than trying to coordinate a group split across a few cars. Make sure your selected driver is comfortable driving a big van, and what the State regulations are for your specific situation, as certain provisions may apply.

  • Book your rental car at Lake Charles airport at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

I had confirmation at a pickup location and after almost arriving I get a phone call that there is no stick so my reservation is cancelled and too bad no help nothing. Then I get transferred to the customer help line at enterprise who I relayed all this to and she said she checked with another location and they have multiple options so she rebooked a confirmation and when I arrived there they also claim to have no stock and the kid was condescending and rude. The manager seems to overhear and he found a true piece of garbage car that was dangrtous it was such garbage and should not be in inventory but it was my only choice to take that or have no way to get to my medical procedure the next day. So I took it. But I am never using enterprise again and my trip and my day were ruined by the stress they caused me ahead of my worrisome medical procedure

Horrible. Received a confirmation email with a total price. When I showed up to pick up the car it was over 200 more. After 30 minutes at the counter (employee was trying) I walked away paying $75 more than quote. Then the car was old and had over 37k miles on it. Seats were stained and gross. Disappointing
