Important information about New Orleans car rentals

To see everything, car rentals in New Orleans are a sensible choice. Don’t miss a tour of the French Quarter or the Garden District if you love to stroll. The Chalmette Battlefield and the National WWII Museum are historic landmarks to check out. It’s a walkable city, but rental cars in New Orleans will give you the convenient advantage of easy travel. The Crescent City's unique culture is always a fun trip and be sure to explore one of the famous cemeteries. You can sign up for a plantation tour or drop by the Backstreet Cultural Museum. For souvenir shopping, the many antique shops along Magazine Street in the Garden District won’t disappoint. There are plenty of commercial lots in the French Quarter and downtown for parking, and fees are reasonable. Most of the city’s meters offer many ways to pay for parking your electric car rental. There are over 40 car rental places in the city.

If you’re staying in the French Quarter, downtown, or in the Arts/Warehouse District, you can most likely walk to all your destinations, but New Orleans’ quaint streetcar system is a fun way to explore the city. Bikes are also available to rent and there are ferries, buses, or taxis and pedicabs. Getting to sites outside the perimeter is easier with a cheap rental car in New Orleans. Rental car locations in New Orleans are available throughout the city and at New Orleans Airport. To get away from the touristy side of things, head to the bustling Frenchmen Street. A popular site for locals, the street is full of live music, bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and art galleries. Frenchmen Street is accessible as it's within walking distance of the French Quarter and also by rental cars in New Orleans.

While driving your luxury car rental in New Orleans, there are a few traffic laws to know. Whenever any highway has been divided into two roadways by a median or structural barrier, every vehicle must be driven only on the right-hand roadway and never across the median. Drivers should yield to law enforcement or emergency vehicles on all roads. Texting while driving is prohibited, and steep fines are enforced. Seat belts are mandatory. Driving or parking on curbs is not allowed at any time. Drivers must yield to streetcars and not pause on the tracks while a streetcar is at an intersection. Also, be mindful of the many one-way roads while driving your car rental in New Orleans. You should check with the Department of Motor Vehicles to make sure certain laws have not changed.

To get a rental car in New Orleans, drivers must possess a valid driver’s license. International licenses may be used if they are current and registered in the driver’s home country. Insurance does not need to be purchased to get a car rental, but keep in mind that drivers are responsible for any damages to the car. Drivers must have a credit or debit card and know that a hold may be placed on the card until the vehicle is returned. Only drivers registered to the car are permitted to operate the rental car.
