After landing at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, your SUV rental counter is not inside the terminal. All major rental brands operate from a consolidated rental car facility at 600 Rental Blvd, Kenner, LA 70062.

To get there:

• Exit the terminal at Level 1 near Baggage Claim
• Walk toward the Long-Term Parking Garage or proceed to Door 9 at the far curb
• Board the clearly marked Rental Car Shuttle, which runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, departing approximately every 5 minutes
• The ride to the facility takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes

Once at the facility, follow signs to your specific brand's counter to collect your rental agreement and keys. Plan for a total of 30 to 45 minutes from terminal arrival to driving away, plus counter processing time. If your flight is delayed, rental companies will hold your booking for up to 24 hours from the original pickup time.

Returning your SUV rental in New Orleans is straightforward. The return facility is at the same consolidated Rental Car Garage at 600 Rental Blvd, Kenner, LA 70062.

• Follow airport street signs directing you to Rental Car Return as you approach the airport
• Pull into the Rental Car Garage and follow signs for your specific rental brand
• After-hours returns are available at the facility, so you are not required to return during counter hours

Before returning, refuel within approximately 10 miles of the facility to comply with the Full-to-Full fuel policy. Take a photo of the dashboard showing the fuel gauge at full and keep your gas receipt. If you return the SUV below the recorded starting level, the partner may charge a fuel shortfall at their rate plus a refueling service fee, which is typically higher than pump prices. For after-hours drops, leave the fuel receipt in the return envelope and keep a photo as your record.

Yes, there are toll roads near New Orleans that you may encounter during your SUV rental, though Louisiana has a limited toll network compared to states like Florida or Texas.

The most notable toll route is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway, a 24-mile bridge connecting Metairie (near New Orleans) to Mandeville. The one-way toll for a standard 2-axle vehicle is US$5.00, with a round trip costing approximately US$9 to US$10. Other crossings such as the Huey P. Long Bridge or ferry routes typically cost US$1.00 to US$3.00 per crossing.

Payment options vary by location:

• Some toll booths accept cash
• Cashless segments bill via license plate photography (Toll-by-Plate style)
• There is no statewide electronic transponder system like E-ZPass or SunPass in Louisiana

Your SUV rental vehicle comes equipped with a toll device or plate-based billing. At the counter you can enroll in a pay-per-use program (rental company charges actual tolls plus a daily convenience fee of roughly US$3.95 to US$12.99). If you do not enroll, the rental company will still bill tolls to your card after the rental, plus administrative fees of approximately US$5.95 to US$7.95 per day tolls are incurred. There are no congestion charges or emissions zones in New Orleans.

Yes, all Hola Car Rentals rates include Tolls Cashback, which reimburses up to 5% of your total booking value for tolls paid during your SUV rental in New Orleans.

This is especially useful if you cross the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway (US$5.00 one-way) or other toll bridges near New Orleans during your trip. You still pay tolls normally at the time of travel; Hola Car Rentals reimburses you afterward.

To claim your cashback:

• Email [email protected] within 30 days of returning your SUV
• Use the subject line: Tolls Cashback - Reservation {Your Confirmation Number}
• Attach your Hola Car Rentals reservation confirmation, the signed rental agreement, and a toll receipt or invoice showing charges paid

Example: if your booking total is US$600, the 5% cap is US$30. If you paid US$18 in tolls, you receive US$18 back. If you paid US$50, you receive US$30 (the cap). Refunds are issued to your original payment method and typically process within 7 to 10 business days after approval. Late submissions beyond 30 days are not accepted.

Yes, you may be able to use your own toll transponder in your SUV rental in New Orleans, but you must take a specific step at the counter to avoid being billed twice.

• Inform the counter representative at pickup that you intend to use your own transponder
• Ask them to deactivate the vehicle's default toll device or plate-based billing program
• Get confirmation in writing on your rental agreement if possible

Louisiana does not have a statewide electronic toll system like E-ZPass or SunPass, so toll bridges such as the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway use local collection methods including cash booths and plate-based billing. If your transponder is not compatible with Louisiana's local toll infrastructure, it will not register and you may still be billed via license plate. If you do not deactivate the rental company's device and also use your own transponder, you risk duplicate charges for the same toll. When in doubt, paying cash at booths where available is a straightforward way to avoid program fees on your New Orleans SUV rental.

Yes, New Orleans has a specific overnight parking restriction that directly affects larger SUV rentals. Vehicles longer than 22 feet are prohibited from parking overnight in the Central Business District (CBD), and violations carry a US$40 fine.

Additionally, when parking any SUV on New Orleans streets, you must leave at least 10 feet of unobstructed roadway, or face a US$20 fine. The city's historic districts, including the French Quarter, feature narrow one-way streets where a full-size SUV can be difficult to maneuver and park without encroaching on these limits.

Other parking rules that affect SUV rentals in New Orleans:

• No vehicle may park on-street for more than 24 consecutive hours anywhere in the city
• Rush hour parking bans apply on major arterials from 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.
• Street cleaning tows occur Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 a.m. to noon
• Parking on neutral grounds (the wide medians throughout New Orleans) is strictly prohibited and vehicles are towed
• During Mardi Gras and other events, parade route clearances begin 2 hours before the event and towing is actively enforced

Towing fees in New Orleans start at US$161.25 plus additional charges, so confirming your SUV's length and planned parking location before leaving the rental facility is strongly recommended.

To pick up your SUV rental in New Orleans, you must present the following physical documents at the counter:

• A valid, original driver's license in the main driver's name (not a digital copy)
• A major credit card with the driver's name printed on the card, in the main driver's name, for the security deposit hold
• A passport or valid government-issued photo ID
• Your booking confirmation or printed voucher
• Round-trip flight or cruise tickets (required for visitors from outside the United States)

If your driver's license is not in English and does not use a Latin (Roman) alphabet, such as Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, or Cyrillic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is mandatory alongside your original license. The IDP is a translation only and cannot be used without the original license. Visitors with licenses in other non-English scripts are strongly advised to obtain an IDP before traveling, as it cannot be issued abroad.

Debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted for the security deposit on your New Orleans SUV rental. All documents must be physical originals; digital versions on a phone or tablet will not be accepted at the counter.

When you pick up your SUV rental in New Orleans, the rental partner will place a temporary authorization hold on your credit card. For rentals in the United States, this hold is typically around US$300 to US$400 for standard vehicles, and may be higher for larger or premium SUV classes.

Important things to know about the deposit:

• It is a temporary hold, not a charge, but it reduces your available credit until released
• Only a physical major credit card in the main driver's name with the driver's name printed on the card is accepted; debit cards, prepaid cards, and virtual cards are not accepted
• The exact amount is set by the rental partner at the counter and may vary by brand, SUV class, and season
• After you return the SUV, the hold is released, but your bank controls when it appears back on your available credit, which can take up to 15 business days

To avoid issues at the New Orleans counter, notify your bank of your travel plans in advance to prevent fraud blocks on the authorization, and bring a backup credit card in your name in case your primary card declines.

New Orleans has several local driving rules that can catch SUV renters off guard, particularly in the historic districts.

• One-way street grids: The French Quarter and Central Business District use dense one-way systems with tight turns. A SUV requires extra care navigating these narrow passages, and U-turns are frequently needed
• Neutral grounds: The wide medians throughout New Orleans are called neutral grounds locally. Parking on them is completely prohibited and vehicles are towed immediately. Do not mistake them for a parking area
• Speed and red-light cameras: New Orleans has 47 traffic safety camera locations, mostly in school zones set at 20 mph, plus active red-light cameras. School zone cameras operate per the school calendar, so be alert to posted beacons
• Rush hour parking bans: Major arterials prohibit street parking from 7 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 6 p.m.
• Parade route restrictions: During Mardi Gras (February to March) and other events, streets along parade routes are cleared 2 hours before the event begins, with active towing enforcement

Towing in New Orleans is aggressively enforced, with fees starting at US$161.25. Planning your SUV route and parking in advance is strongly recommended when driving in New Orleans.

When renting a SUV in New Orleans, two main types of coverage are worth understanding before you arrive at the counter.

Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) or Loss Damage Waiver (LDW) reduces your financial liability for damage to the SUV itself from a collision, theft, or vandalism. A deductible may apply unless your confirmation explicitly states zero. CDW/LDW does not cover damage you cause to other vehicles or people.

Third-Party Liability (LIS/ALI/SLI) covers bodily injury and property damage you may cause to others while driving your SUV in New Orleans. Some U.S. states require rental companies to include state-minimum liability, but not all do. Adding supplemental liability coverage of up to US$300,000 is strongly recommended.

Key points to confirm at the New Orleans counter:

• Verify both CDW/LDW and LIS/ALI/SLI appear on your rental agreement
• Note the deductible amount for CDW/LDW
• Confirm all drivers of the SUV are listed on the agreement, as coverage applies only to named drivers
• If an incident occurs, report it immediately to the rental partner using the number on your confirmation

CDW/LDW and LIS/ALI/SLI are separate protections and both are recommended for SUV rentals in New Orleans.

Yes, you can add an additional driver to your SUV rental in New Orleans, either as part of your rate or for a fee paid at the counter.

If your booking confirmation states additional driver is included, the first extra driver is free. If it is not included, daily fees apply:

• Avis, Budget, and Payless: US$13 per rental day plus taxes, capped at US$65 plus taxes
• Hertz, Thrifty, and Dollar: US$13.50 per rental day plus taxes, capped at US$189 plus taxes
• Alamo, National, and Enterprise: US$15 per day plus taxes

Requirements for adding a driver to your New Orleans SUV rental:

• The additional driver must be present at the counter at pickup with a valid driver's license
• They must meet the minimum age requirements (generally 25 in Louisiana; drivers aged 21 to 24 may face a young-driver surcharge)
• If their license is not in a Latin alphabet, an IDP is also required
• Both the main driver and the additional driver must sign the rental agreement

Only drivers listed on the rental agreement are covered by CDW/LDW and liability protections. Never allow an unlisted person to drive your SUV in New Orleans.

Yes, one-way SUV rentals from New Orleans to a different city are generally available, but a drop-off fee will likely apply and must be reviewed before booking.

How the drop-off fee works for SUV rentals from New Orleans:

• The fee is route-specific and varies by rental brand, destination city, season, and SUV class
• Larger SUV categories are often more expensive to reposition, so the fee may be higher than for a compact car
• The fee appears on the booking details page under the section labeled To pay at destination, not on the search results page
• Cross-border one-ways (for example, New Orleans to Mexico) may be restricted or carry significantly higher fees depending on the partner

To confirm whether a drop-off fee applies to your specific New Orleans SUV route, select your different return location during the booking process and review the To pay at destination section before completing your reservation. The fee cannot be prepaid and is paid directly to the rental partner at pickup. If the counter charges a different amount than shown on your confirmation, keep all paperwork and contact support, as No Extra Charges© Coverage may apply.

Yes, most Hola Car Rentals bookings include travel assistance provided by Terrawind Global Protection, and this applies to SUV rentals in New Orleans as well. However, this benefit is available only to non-North American customers. Residents of the United States and Canada do not qualify.

Coverage typically includes:

• Travel and medical insurance for up to 5 passengers
• Legal assistance in the event of a road accident
• Compensation for baggage lost by the airline
• Flight cancellation insurance

This coverage does not include damage to the SUV itself (that is CDW/LDW) or liability to third parties (that is LIS/ALI/SLI). It also does not cover pre-existing medical conditions.
