What types of cars can I rent in Metairie?
Economical, easy to handle and delivering excellent mileage, it's not surprising compact cars are the most commonly booked rental in Metairie. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

What do you need to rent a car in Metairie?
