Top tips for renting a car at Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport
- Booking a car rental at New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport is a nice way to have a comfortable and reliable mode of transportation for the duration of your stay in the region. While New Orleans does have public transportation, such as the local bus, driving is still one of the simplest and quickest ways to get where you need to go. Having your own New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport car rental will also allow you to go on trips to nearby cities, such as Gretna or Kenner.
- There are many different models for you to choose from for your car rental at New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport. If you plan on primarily exploring the city center, a compact vehicle can be a convenient option. Those that are in the mood to treat themselves can always opt for a luxury car instead.

- Returning your car rental at New Orleans Louis Armstrong Airport is a simple task, as you only need to bring it back to the parking area at 600 Rental Boulevard. Each company that has a branch at the airport keeps its fleet in this area, so keep your eyes open for the parking location of your specific rental company. Some companies will allow you to return your rental after their regular business hours in case you have a flight that departs early in the morning or late at night.
- New Orleans is famous for being a bustling business hub and a popular destination amongst travelers, so it is not uncommon for its roads to be congested. One way to avoid getting caught in traffic is to plan on picking up and dropping off your rental outside of rush hour, which typically occurs between the hours of 6.30 and 9 am and 5 and 7 pm.

Cons:
Waited 1.5 hours in line before deciding to cancel and book with Alamo. Was completely backed up on Memorial Day weekend with only 1 person working (I felt bad for her!) Truly a mess.4.0 Mediocre
May 2021
Cons:
We had to wait 3 hours from the time we got to the place to the time we got on our car , there where about 35 to 40 customers waiting in line with 1 lady doing her best to take 2 sometimes 3 customers at one time, got to the car and was dirty inside and out, like they just half azz clean it just o get it out. This will be the last time I use this company4.0 Mediocre
Mar 2021
Pros:
The man running the desk was very slow. We stood in line for 2 hours. Each customer took about 20 minutes to process. Then they were out of cars, so we ended up with a 12 passenger van for the two of us. Not cool.Cons:
Reservations shouldn't be confirmed if there are not enough cars. Once it's confirmed, customers should get what they reserved. There is no reason for the process to take so long. Over at the Alamo counter, people were zipping through.2.0 Poor
Mar 2021
Pros:
The rental counter staff was friendly but the customer service and wishy information was poor.Cons:
Better understanding of what can be given to people. Being 23 I understand I have to pay a fee to rent a car. Fully understanding and confirming I can get the rental I reserved only to be rejected at the counter with no other type of rental and way to my hotel room in an unknown due to my age was honestly the worst experience I could have. Budget needs to find a way for them to step in and get concrete facts of what can and cannot be offered at EACH rental counter. Being told that each rental counter has its own rules is good but please tell me that before I get there to pick the rental up so I understand how to get somewhere.10.0 Wonderful
Aug 2020
Cons:
This was my first time renting a car from the airport, they were friendly and accommodating. I was super nervous, mostly because with the new COVID procedures. The only thing I wish I had done was do a little research about the whole process. I didn’t know I would just walk out to my car, I was terrified I was in the wrong car! (That was plainly marked, I just tend to doubt myself a lot) But everyone I dealt with was friendly and it really was a good experience!Hertz

Found old groceries in the van... which is not the vehicle we rented. Stood with my family for 45 minutes waiting for them to find something and they brought out a van and said this or wait. Not sure how it was cleaned when there was a bag of food under the seat. Oh well. Won’t do it again.6.0 Okay

Pros:
The staff at New Orleans was extremely helpful and made the process of picking up the vehicle very easy.Cons:
The vehicle was a new large suv that did not have any of the current safety systems and it did not have the XM radio turned on? For that rental price I would have thought that they would have included those items? Maybe next time?4.0 Mediocre

Teka was very friendly and helpful. This car rental company is off-site from the rental center to provide lower rates, so the facilities are sparse. The car was great and clean and it was an excellent experience.Cons:

Just a heads up. This rental company IS NOT LOCATED AT THE CAR RENTA CENTER. You have to take one shuttle from the airport to the car the car rental center and the call them for them to come pick you up there to take you to their place. I specifically chose companies at the terminal to avoid this, but still got this as a choice only to be surprised once I got to the rental center that it was not there10.0 Wonderful
