KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Baton Rouge

  • Discover everything Louisiana’s capital has on display within your own time by renting a car upon your arrival. Don’t rely on delayed public transport or expensive cab rides, and seize the opportunity to not only visit attractions like the Louisiana State Capitol, but also to explore surrounding scenic places like a drive alongside the famous Mississippi River or a visit to Lake Maurepas and Wildlife Center, about 1 hour away by car.
  • Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport is located just over 7 miles north of the city, and the quickest way to reach your next destinations is by opting for a rental car directly from the various agencies on the airport grounds. Simply follow the signs to the baggage claim area, where companies like Avis, Hertz, or Enterprise offer their vehicles. The quickest way to the heart of Baton Rouge is via the I-110 South.
  • Driving defensively in Baton Rouge is a good choice, as local drivers have a reputation of driving rather aggressively, including rarely using signal blinkers, driving fast through the city, and changing lanes without warning before squeezing into tight spaces between other cars in the lane. Don’t let local drivers stress you out and adhere to all speed limits and street regulations, even if you may be honked at once or twice for those decisions -- it is better to play it safe.
  • Rush hours can be intense in the city and morning rush hour between 7 and 9 am as well as evening rush hour from 5 to 7 pm should be avoided, if possible. Especially the I-10 can face heavy congestion during these times, so plan your journeys around those peak times to enjoy a more stress-free driving experience. On weekends, rush hour is not too bad, but when driving in the vicinity of the LSU campus on the day of a game, there can be plenty of traffic as well.
  • Located slightly over 7 miles north of Baton Rouge is the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport. The fastest and easiest way to reach your destination from the airport is by a rental car which you can book through KAYAK and pick up from the many cheap car rental agencies in Baton Rouge available at the airport. From the baggage claim area, you'll see a sign that will direct you to the car rental center where Avis, Enterprise, Budget, Hertz, and other companies have their offices. These cheap car rentals in Baton Rouge also have around 20 car rental locations between the airport and the city center.
  • Most drivers in Baton Rouge are known to use phones while driving and speeding, so if you're new to the city, we recommend driving defensively and cautiously. However, you can safely and confidently navigate the city if you adhere to all traffic regulations and speed limits. One particular route to be wary of is the Nicholson Drive, which connects to Burbank Drive, and is more prone to accidents. Another thing to remember is not to wear earphones or similar devices (except hearing aids) when driving in Baton Rouge, as these are forbidden.
  • Baton Rouge experiences intense rush hours between 7:00 am and 9:00 am and 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm. We advise you to avoid driving during those hours as you're likely to get stuck for several hours in traffic, and you may be forced to deal with aggressive and impatient drivers on the road, not to mention missing out on important schedules. It is especially crucial to avoid the I-10, known for heavy traffic congestion during rush hours. In addition, we recommend that you avoid Horace Wilkinson Bridge, Perkins Road, and E Parker Blvd. Otherwise, rush hours on weekdays are manageable.
  • Book your rental car in Baton Rouge at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car in Baton Rouge

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Baton Rouge?

    With heavy traffic and aggressive drivers changing lanes suddenly, it is a good idea to opt for a compact car to take up less space on the road and be able to fit into almost any parking spot.

    Within the city, there is a maximum speed limit of 25 mph and 55 mph on secondary roads outside built-up areas.

Remember to slow down if the weather or road conditions are poor.

  • Where are the best places to park in Baton Rouge?

    There is metered on-street parking in Baton Rouge available, but always check the designated signs for prices and time restrictions.

  • How much is gas price in Baton Rouge?

    The average gas price in Baton Rouge is C$ 4.71 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a gas tank costs between C$ 57 and C$ 75, depending on the car size.

Parking spaces in downtown Baton Rouge are free daily from 6:00 pm to 8:00 am.

I really enjoyed the gentleman who checked me in. I was unsure of what type of vehicle to get and he guided me in the right direction perfect. So grateful What could be better is I was unsure of where to pick the car up there was nobody at the budget desk so I had to go inside the airport and turn the vehicle in as well as check it out there was nobody at the office in the parking garage when I picked up and when I dropped off. Thank you other than that it was wonderful. Thank you

It was an easy experience. I had some wait time at the Budget in Baton Rouge but once I get checked in, I signed a few papers and checked the car. Then I was on my way. The car was a good and clean vehicle, tank was filled with gas. Pretty seamless. Drop-off in Broken Arrow was even easier. He checked the mileage and gave me my receipt, and I was on my way. Fast and efficient experience.

Absolutely horrible - poor service do not recommend. Booked a mid size/regular car on Monday afternoon to pick up on Thursday, arrived for my scheduled appointment and after waiting for 50 minutes they had no vehicle options available (no cars except for totally electric, no offered upgrades, nothing). Short hair lady was totally absolutely rude, manager sitting right next to her was no help, and then at 5:00pm (website hours say location is open until 6:00pm) was on the phone with customer service when they kicked me out of the building. Apparently I gave her the wrong look so she said “yea rollin your eyes now you definitely ain’t gettin a car”… Was leaving in the morning for a business trip and had to take a personal vehicle, threw a wrench in my whole trip schedule. They DO NOT CARE about customer service would suggest another location.

I didn’t like anything about the experience. There were no cars available for rental at any Hertz location which was a waste of time and energy. The company reps refused to assist me with contacting other locations for availability. I was able to finally obtain a rental from Enterprise and will just stick to them in the future because although they were out of cars they actually contacted me to get me set up with another location that had a car in stock for me.
