Renting car and walking tours

My husband and I will be in NO at end of the month (late 25th anniversary celebration) for 4 days. It%26#39;s my first time and am very excited.

We%26#39;re interested in visiting Laura and Oak Alley plantations and would like to rent a car for one day. We%26#39;re staying at Prince Conti. Where would be the closest car rental?

Out of these 3, Historic Garden District Tour, Historic FQ Tour or Historic Haunted Tour, which 2 would be best? We both love history, but the haunted tour sounds like fun.

Also, do many nice restaurants enforce the no jeans rule for dinner? We%26#39;re from South Florida and most nice places don%26#39;t have dress code policy.

Many of the nice restaurants around town have a dressy casual dress code, and nice jeans with a collared shirt or blouse are fine dinner attire. Only a few restaurants, like Galatoire%26#39;s, have a jackets required policy.

There is a Budget rental on Canal St. Also, many of the chain hotels have rental car companies inside. I would do a search for the rental company you prefer and it should be close by.

The Haunted History tours are a lot of fun, as are Bloody Mary%26#39;s tours.

Hi,

I have a car rental with Hertz for the day. They have a number of locations in the FQ where they can pick you up. They will also reimburse you for the cab fare to their main location on 901 Convention Center Boulevard. They are only open from 8am - 5pm. You will need to drop your car off at the main location and from there, they will drive you back to one of their drop locations in the FQ.

Correction: The reimbursement will be come through as a credit to your bill.

I can attest to the hertz rental. I picked up a car for last weekend, and I had booked it from the mariott hotel location on Canal St. Apparently they have a number of service locations, with just a dedicated phone on the concierge desk. They ask you to take a cab down to the 901 Convention Centre Blvd. address (which they reimburse you for, and its the only rental location in town).

With a few good codes, I got my rental for $35 for 2 weekend days, intermediate size. I wasn%26#39;t able to get this even with priceline! Mind you this is after all the crazy taxes that they add on, which raises the cost of the original price you see significantly.

I just rented a car for one day and just keep in mind when you are going to return. Enterprise closes at 6 so you might need to pay for parking for one night.

Thank you for all the great info on car rentals. I really appreciate all the help!
