Rental Qualifications and RequirementsThis is a bustling, busy airport, so we want to help you make the most of it by getting you on the road as quickly and smoothly as possible. With a range of payment options and our excellent collection of cars, you’ll soon be on your way in New Orleans.
New Orleans is packed with enough buzz to satisfy most travellers, but whether you’re stopping in the thrusting city or heading further out into the Gulf Coast region, you’ll find a unique, never to be forgotten experience.
The famous New Orleans Mardi Gras moves around on the calendar – expect to find it in late February or early March – and it’s perhaps the most colourful icon of this already fun city.
The history of Mardi Gras dates back hundreds of years, constantly shrinking and then growing, passing from favour then reviving.
It’s great for families, especially those with a sweet tooth, as one of the most popular traditions is the consumption of ‘king cake’, iced in green, gold and purple.
For many, New Orleans is the home of jazz, and there are countless festivals and clubs where the traditions are celebrated and renewed. You can explore the past at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, or bear witness to the present at the Snug Harbor, one of the city’s leading jazz clubs, with two shows per night, seven days a week.
New Orleans is full of interesting, instagrammable buildings, from French colonial to Spanish influenced. You can just wander from district to district, museum to museum, club to club to take it all in, or join a more structured architectural tour.
Some whisk you through antebellum mansions and graceful gardens, others focus on the French Quarter. Chances are you’ll be left with incredible memories and a hankering to up sticks and move to one of the soaring southern mansions you’ll have fallen in love with.
The Mercedes-Benz Superdome is home to the New Orleans Saints American football team, and if they’re at home while you’re visiting, it’s worth trying to get a ticket to enjoy the unique atmosphere of game day.
In addition to hosting Super Bowls, it’s also a venue for big ticket concerts, Wrestlemania, NBA games, monster car rallies and jazz festivals.
We’ve barely scratched the surface of what this city has to offer, and car hire at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport will let you get right to the heart of the action.
I had a good experience with this car rental in general-pickup was easy as was return (though I may have gotten there when they weren't busy). I booked through a third party about two weeks before I needed the car, and my reservation was honored. Non-members need to go to the first floor desk to receive their car information before proceeding to the third floor of the garage to pick up the car. Make sure you leave time to ride the shuttle from the garage to the airport before your flight (about 20 mins). I would assume that it's the same if you're picking up the car after landing. If you're being dropped off to pick up the car, use the address provided by Hertz in the reservation email.

We had some trouble getting our car because our flight was late and they had already closed. So we had to sleep in the airport until the opened the next morning at 6am. Once they opened that next morning we had no issue getting our car or leaving/even returning.

I was given a Polestar. The car handled well, but if your destination is in the back of the woods please opt for a Tesla. Actually always opt for a Tesla over other electric vehicles. All nearby charging stations are slow and far and few. You'll spend 75% percent of your time charging the vehicle. My vehicle completely died, had to get it towed. Plugged it in and nothing for two days. So I had to call a mechanic just to get it to charge. I probably should have called hertz roadside assistance so they could adjust the rental fee since the car was inoperable for 2 days. Docked a star because availability of charging stations is almost non existent or slow. The fast chargers I found did not work. So that fee they charge you can't get out because you won't be able to sufficiently charge your car unless you leave the car which means you can't use the car for most of the trip. This area is not ready for electric vehicles.
Hertz Customer
A valid driver's license issued from your state or country of residence must be presented at the time of rental. The driver's license must be valid for the entire rental period. If the driver's license is in a language other than English, and the rental is in the United States, an International Driver's Permit is recommended. In all cases, a valid driver's license issued from your home country must be provided, whether or not you possess an International Driver's Permit. You will not be allowed to rent a Hertz vehicle with only an International Driver's Permit.
International customers renting in the U.S. are also required to present a valid international-issued driver’s license at the time of rent and a valid passport in the same name, as a second form of identification.
Mobile/Digital Driver License
A mobile or digital driver’s license does not replace a valid physical driver’s license and Hertz customers will still need to supply their hard copy license until further notice.
Rental of a 15-passenger van in California requires a commercial driver’s license to transport a non-profit group or for commercial use. The commercial driver’s license requirement does not apply to personal use. 15- passenger vans may not be used to transport passengers for hire.
Rentals have a grace period of 29 minutes.
Optional coverages do not have hourly charges/grace period, but are charged as a full day.
Extra hour charges will be incurred at the 30 minute mark if the vehicle is returned more than 29 minutes past the original rental time.
If renting in California:
Hertz provides no liability protection under the terms of the Rental Agreement to the renter from claims of injury by others against you resulting from an accident. Your personal/business insurance may cover your liability. Exceptions: Hertz will provide primary liability protection up to the statutory minimum limits to international customers (driver's license indicates an address outside the USA) renting in California. Please also refer to Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) below.
If renting in Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, South Carolina, Virginia, or West Virginia:
Upon signing the Rental Agreement, Hertz provides primary liability protection. However, such protection is generally no more than the minimum limits required by individual state law. See Financial Responsibility Limits by State.
If renting in any other state in the U.S.A.:
Hertz' liability protection is secondary to any other insurance coverage available to you. If you do not have liability insurance and/or the limits of liability of the insurance coverage available to you are not sufficient to cover claims by others against you, and Hertz, as the vehicle owner, provides liability protection due to an accident, you will indemnify Hertz for any and all payments made.
However, Hertz makes available additional liability protection, which is primary, if the optional Liability Insurance Supplement, LIS, is purchased.
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS)
Liability Insurance Supplement (LIS) provides coverage for you and other authorized operators of your rental vehicle for third party claims.
LIS is primary protection to customer’s personal policy and provides the first $1,000,000.00 of combined bodily injury and/or property damage protection for each occurrence regardless of the state in which the accident occurs. On rentals in California and Florida the maximum combined single limit is $2,000,000.00 for liability protection only.
LIS provides up to $1,000,000.00 of Uninsured/Underinsured protection for bodily injury sustained while driving the rental vehicle.
There are some exclusions to this coverage, which we feel you should know. Under LIS, in the event of an accident, you will not be protected for third party liability:
LIS is third party liability coverage only, except where permitted by law or pertaining to Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage. LIS does not cover personal injury to you or any authorized operator of the rental vehicle or to your or their family members who are related by blood, marriage or adoption and reside in your or their household.
Loss Damage Waiver (LDW)
In most states, in the event of any other loss or damage to the car, regardless of fault, your financial responsibility extends to the full value of the car at the time of rental, less its salvage value, plus expenses for towing, storage impound fees, an administrative fee and a reasonable charge for loss of use. If your responsibility differs in the state in which you rent, it will be stated in Paragraph 4, of the Rental Agreement. In California, in the event of any loss or damage to the car regardless of fault, your financial responsibility will in no event exceed the fair market value, plus actual charges for towing, storage, impound fees, and an administrative fee. In California and Nevada, your responsibility for loss or damage to the car from vandalism unrelated to theft will not exceed $500.00 in California and $2,500.00 in Nevada and you are not responsible for theft, regardless of purchasing LDW, unless the theft results from your fault.. In Illinois, your responsibility for loss or damage for any cause other than theft is limited to $15,500.00. Loss or damage related to theft is limited to $2,000.00, unless the theft results from your fault. In New York, your financial responsibility shall not exceed (i) the actual and reasonable costs that Hertz incurs to repair the car, including costs for towing, storage and impound fees or that Hertz would have incurred if the car was repaired or (ii) the fair market value of the car immediately before the damages occurred, as determined by the applicable market for the retail saleof the car less disposal proceeds. Your responsibility for theft of the car shall not exceed the reasonable costs incurred by Hertz for loss due to theft up to its fair market value, if it is established that you or any authorized operator failed to exercise reasonable care or aided or abetted in the theft.
F.Y.I. – You are under no obligation to purchase LDW or any other optional service as a condition of rental. Your own personal insurance may provide protection for loss or damage to the rental vehicle depending on the state in which you live and the type of policy you have. Also, various credit card companies provide cardholders with some degree of damage protection providing you use their credit card for the rental and decline the optional LDW offered by Hertz at time of rental. The coverage and limits vary. Your policy or credit card coverage should be thoroughly checked for the specific terms and conditions associated with rental vehicles. Remember, most credit card insurance is supplemental, which means it will only reimburse you for loss or damages over and above what is covered by any other insurance you may have and will not cover you for any damage, regardless of cause, if you accept LDW.
Adding LDW after car is on rental:
You may not change the option once the rental has begun, without returning the car and starting a new rental agreement. This will result in the contract being closed out and charges being assessed for the time the vehicle is kept at least 1-day minimum, and a new rental contract will begin.
Cancellation of LDW - New York rentals only:
On New York rentals only, LDW may be cancelled at no charge, within 24 hours of its purchase provided the renter (i) has rented the car for 2 or more days; (ii) appears in person at any Hertz rental location with the car, which shall be subject to inspection.

Personal Effects Coverage (PEC)

However, your benefits provided by other coverage may be affected by the PEC benefit. PEC insurance coverage includes those personal effects owned by you and those members of your immediate family traveling with you during the rental period who are permanent residents of your household. PEC does not extend to non-family members traveling with you.
