 | | New Orleans Car Rental: The Crescent City on Wheels | | | If you arrive in New Orleans through Louis Armstrong International Airport, you’ll find vehicle rental counters on the lower level housing counters for companies such as Thrifty, National, Hertz, Alamo, Avis, Dollar, Budget, and Enterprise. All provide shuttle services to and from their lots and many have downtown locations as well.
Both regional and national companies operate in the New Orleans area and you are advised to thoroughly check rates and terms with multiple companies before making a choice on a car rental, as prices often vary from one company to another. Typically, however, hiring a mid-size car in New Orleans might cost between $50 and $65 per day, exclusive of collision damage waiver, with the daily rate decreasing slightly for a week-long rental period.
International renters are advised to check the terms of their existing insurance coverage as well as that of the vehicle they’re renting. Liability insurance is a must, whilst optional collision damage waiver is strongly recommended for anyone whose insurance coverage does not specifically provide it for the policyholder’s rental vehicle. Often credit card companies provide various types of coverage if you use their card to pay for your rental car. | | | |  | | |
