New Orleans is full of a wide variety of activities that certain cars are suited to. Whether you’re alone, with family, on business, or on vacation, Avis Car Rental at New Orleans airport has the right vehicle for your itinerary.

Passenger Van Rental

Avis passenger vans come with either 12 or 15 seats, ideal for conference groups, parties, extended family, and other groups, when you all want to stick together to see the sights and try a hot beignet at Café du Monde.

Minivan Rental

A minivan, a Dodge Grand Caravan for example, is convenient for a family, especially with young children. Let everyone have some space, put in a car seat if you need to, and get in and out through the sliding doors.

SUV Rental

An SUV rental is a powerful, and stylish option when you want something bigger than a car, or want to head out for a swamp tour or to explore the bayou. Try a Chevrolet Tahoe or Ford Edge to get more room for your family or other group.
