Rent a Car at Baton Rouge Metro Airport (BTR)

Almost overnight, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has become a major American hub of manufacturing, technology and, most surprisingly, movie-making. Dubbed “Hollywood South,” the film industry pumps more than $100 million a year into the economy.

As such, the city attracts a number of executive-level visitors, and the most discerning of them choose Avis Car Rental. A huge fleet, and special offers, like the ability to accelerate your travel experience with Avis Preferred, a complimentary membership that allows you to skip the line and go straight to your car, make Avis the preferred choice for business travelers to Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport (BTR).

Avis’s BTR car rental counter is conveniently located in the baggage claim area, and the wide variety of vehicles—from compact cars to luxury vehicles and SUVs—are parked just outside the building’s doors. Downtown Baton Rouge is just 7.5 miles south of the airport lot along the east bank of the mighty Mississippi River.

While you’re here, check out the State Capitol Building, which has been the tallest building in Baton Rouge since 1934. Steps away from the Capitol, you’ll find the brand-new Shaw Center for the Arts. This massive venue features a 325-seat theatre, a fine arts museum and a rooftop sushi restaurant.

Round out your sightseeing by gazing up at the awe-inspiring stained glass dome at the Old Louisiana State Capitol, a building Mark Twain humorously dubbed the “ugliest thing on the Mississippi.”
