Change lane or stay way behind heavy equipment type vehicles. Last thing you want is to file a claim on your insurance and give the car rental a brand new windshield.

Go to the location on Florida Blvd. They have excellent customer service 😀

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 hire 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.

Price was great and I was able to get a vehicle very quickly and easily. My biggest issue was that I selected a Tesla or similar luxury electric vehicle and was downgraded to a Hyundai Venue, which is a subcompact gas SUV. I also had to reach out to budget to ask for a bit of a refund for this downgrade.

The experience was poor, I did the check in online to pick up the car at 8:30 am and I arrived around 8:45 to pick up the car and the front desk lady told me they don’t have the car ready and I need to wait 30 minuts. I wait for almost 2 hours. Delay all my trip.

The company lied about inventory and had no trucks available for rental and sent me a text message. I called and customer service had no idea what I was talking about. They told me to cancell my reservation and try again at another location. Avis/Budget kept sending me messages as if there was a reservation in progress but there wasn't and no other locations had trucks for remotely close to the price I had reserved. Bad experience.

They didn't have my car size available when I was there to pick up. So I had to upgrade two sizes up since they didn't have the next size either. Pretty big inconvenience wasn't ready to spend that much money but had to. When I came to return my car, no one was at the building all the employees were late.

Terrible, but I don’t know who is to blame. The van was Not available. I was turned away without a vehicle and no one to remedy my situation. Hertz attendant told me this happens often. I had to file a claim with my credit card company for rental AND damage waiver insurance.

The damage had previous damage that is documented yet the company is trying to blame me for it. Also it was not made clear that when doing a pre-paid rental throughAffirm that you cant complete the rental because you do not have a physical card and the deposit fee is not included. So on the day of the trip i had to come up with 500 and what for a refund.

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 did not like the vehicle. It also was way overpriced. The price was too expensive for a multiple day rental. My insurance will only reimburse me $36.99 a day for rental coverage. So, my personal out of pocket expense was too much. I’ll shop other options throughly next time prior to renting a vehicle. I was not impressed with the whole experience.

Do better. Within hours of pick up & after preregistration where disclosure of personal information was requested, I received a text message that there was not a vehicle available for me. It should be clear that this could happen. I had no back up plan. I wasn’t aware that the registration doesn’t secure the rental.
