Location information for New Orleans

Introduction

New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana and mainly known for its music, cooking, French influences (the city's French Quarter) and cultural events and festivals like the annual Mardi Gras in February. New Orleans is, however, also an important port on the Gulf of Mexico.

Population

The city itself has almost 350,000 inhabitants, but 1.2 million people live in the entire New Orleans metropolitan area.

Location

New Orleans is located in the south of the United States, on the Mississippi River, about 170 kilometers upstream from where the river's estuary runs into the Gulf of Mexico. The Gulf area experiences many hurricanes which sometimes head directly towards the city, like Hurricane Katrina which caused enormous floods in 2006. North of the city lies a large lake, Lake Pontchartrain.

Economy

The city's port forms the backbone of local economy and plays an important part in the oil and gas drillings in the Gulf of Mexico. Oil refineries and other petrochemical industries are related activities. The city is also a center for higher education and many conferences are held here. Tourism is another pillar of the economy: no less than 85,000 people are employed in the tourist sector.

Airports

The city's airport is named after one of the most famous musicians produced by New Orleans: Louis Armstrong International Airport. It's located in the suburb Kenner, 19 kilometers west of the city center. The airport is easily reachable by rental car via the US-61 N (Airline Drive) or the I-10.

Public Transport

New Orleans has an extensive network of buses, but most tourists are mainly attracted by the historical streetcar. There are three lines. Tourists mainly use the Riverfront Line which runs from Esplanade Street near the river, via the French Quarter to the conference center in the so-called Arts District.

Traffic and Parking

It's difficult to find your way around the historical center because there are many one-way streets. Finding a free parking place in the street is also difficult and expensive. Hotels also often charge high rates for parking. During Mardi Gras parking rates skyrocket (up to US$ 10 per hour). Rates are more favorable at Premium Parking in the French Quarter. However, if you want to see more of New Orleans besides the French Quarter, a rental car is an ideal means of transportation.

Hotels

You have a large choice of accommodations in the French Quarter and the Central Business District. These are also the most expensive accommodations in the city. Cheaper options can be found near St. Charles Avenue in Uptown. You'll find many basic hotels and guesthouses in the Marigny and Mid-City districts.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Rental the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
