Upon leaving the bus, follow the signs and head upstairs to the Alamo car rental. They have clean restrooms just outside the pick-up area. Our similar, just-washed, and low-mileage GMC Terrain was brought to us. The vehicle ran well for the week. Upon return, if you choose to fill it up yourself, the only gas station nearby is the Shell on Blues Street. Once you commit to Rental Drive, you cannot access it. When you return your Alamo rental, go all the way to the top of the ramp. Drive over the "don't back up spikes" and look for the attendant to direct you where to park. They will ask if you want a printed or emailed receipt, and that's it. Don't forget to take pictures and video of your rental, inside and out, to avoid allegations of damage. I would return to the Alamo in the future for my vehicle rental needs.

Renting a car can be a hassle. It doesn't have to be…read more I've rented so many cars in New Orleans over so many years. It was so much easier at the old airport. Get off the flight. Walk past baggage claim. Straight to the car rental center. So the car rental center in actually in the same place. So easy. The problem? The airport moved! So now, it is take a shuttle and then wait and wait. It is about a 20 minute drive, but once you get there, the rentals are usually pretty easy. Hertz partners with Thrifty and Dollar, so you don't know what you will get. We've been pretty lucky over the years and have gotten clean and reliable cars. Let the good time roll.

Then we had to spend two hours sitting at an electric charger before continuing to our destination. At the end of the week, I received a $250 cleaning fee. We called to ask what the fee was for and apparently it was just for a little bit of sand that did not count as requiring a cleaning fee so they took it off. seems like a lot of carelessness that caused us to be inconvenienced and almost charged $250 when I should not have been.

Because of his exceptional service, I am now a lifelong customer of Enterprise Rent-A-Car. The company should be incredibly proud to have an employee like Dave representing their brand. Thank you, Dave, for setting the standard for what customer service should be.

Today at 9:30am 1/9/2026 I received a damage vehicle while leaving out of the parking lot and…read moredidn't learn about it until 10:40am. Normally any location an agent will walk around the car with you and do a walk through and note any damage but not today! The car was nice and clean and I didn't think to walk around and take pictures! Let alone the front desk agent or even the agent at the booth didn't mention anything about filling out a damage form. As I went Togo return the car at 1pm same day. An agent ( Kenny) so the managers says was nasty! Rude and unfriendly. I'm not saying this because I'm upset but the whole approach saying he didn't have a damage report and that I did this was uncalled for! I then asked to get footage of me leaving out the parking lot which took the other so called manager Caleb a whole hour! /saying that there was no damage then when he found and angle to the passenger side on the video! There was a DENT!! he then laughed after I pointed it out and this was all done at 2:07pm in the office in the middle of the cars. Very unprofessional! I told him he needs to fix the color contrast of the video and I would like a copy. He then said it takes over 24hrs! And only god knows if this scamming location will send it. There was no apology but a laugh in the face when there was proof. And just for him to say file a report! very disappointed! I spend lots of money with this company and today you had excuses! ms. shawdawn Johnson? Mentioned there to busy to do walk throughs with customers to point out damage when the customers are responsible. But when I was told to go pick out my car today with a free upgrade Caleb himself was chilling with two other colleagues! So if that's called busy then that tells me everything I needed to know!!

The rental experience, particularly at the MSY location, is painful from beginning to end. I can understand why this low-budget rental car provider is the only option for some, but if you can afford any other brand then I'd encourage you to explore those options. The Dollar employees leave the desk prior to the MSY Rental Facility closing (the building is 24 hours, but the rental companies each close at different times -- those closing times are not disclosed on the airport website). When I arrived, the Hertz employees were still present, so I requested their assistance with my reservation (Hertz owns the Dollar and Thrifty brands). I can't remember a time when I've had a more unpleasant experience with a company representative. This experience was shared by 12-15 other customers who later showed up with the same expeditions. The bottom line -- there is no other rental car company that disregards its customers to the same degree as Dollar and Thrifty.
