New Orleans is a city where you’re meant to have fun, so roll up your sleeves and dive in. While you can start with Bourbon Street, Canal Street, and the French Quarter, the endless fun, parades, great food, and incredible music are available in every neighborhood.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more unique and lively city than New Orleans, and each neighborhood hides something special to offer.
Located in Treme in an old funeral home, this is the place to learn about jazz funerals and the history of the Mardi Gras Indians, plus get an up-close look at their intricate, hand-sewn costumes.
This hip neighborhood is home to Frenchmen Street, where you can always find a good live show, and it’s also worth a mention that big-name singer Solange Knowles owns a house here too.
Covering over 1,300 acres, you’re bound to find something happening in City Park — from New Orleans Jazz Fest to a carousel ride, or just a stroll through the Besthoff Sculpture Garden.

There’s more to explore just outside New Orleans, so book your car on Turo and leave the city center behind to continue your eating tour of Louisiana and get a healthy dose of history. Mardis Gras is quite a scene, but the bayou has more to offer than the usual tourist attractions.
Book the perfect carThis is the heart of Cajun Country, so drive about three hours west and to find the best boudin, cracklin, smoked meat, and gumbo you can handle.
For fans of hot sauce, a visit to this island where Tabasco is produced will not disappoint. Take a tour, learn a few new tricks in a cooking class, and explore the Jungle Garden.
Just an hour west from New Orleans, the only plantation in Louisiana that focuses on and offers memorials to the lives and experiences of enslaved people is well worth a day trip.

Cedric is awesome and very accommodating! Anytime I’m in New Orleans, I look forward to renting from Cedric again! Thanks again for your accommodations!
This was the perfect car for our week in New Orleans! Brittany made check in and drop off a breeze and was very clear about the instructions.
We’ve always used all star hosts as we’ve found them to be reliable, flexible and easy to work with. These attributes describe Umut exactly. We highly recommend him and will definitely rent from him next time in New Orleans and in need of a rental
This was our first experience on Turo and it was great! Zo was very easy to work with and responded quickly. The car worked great for driving around New Orleans and we especially appreciated the AC. Would definitely rent from Zo again on a future trip.
First time using Turo, Caitlin made the rental process a breeze. Highly recommend renting from Caitlin.
UMUT was a gracious host, very easy going and understanding. Will definitely rent again if I’m ever in New Orleans!
Shinnah was a great host, very considerate,hospitable,and uplifting. When I got back to New Orleans, I’ll definitely be renting from her again. Such a pleasure, Thanks again Shinnah!
Jamar was amazing and I would recommend him to anyone coming into New Orleans
Maleiya was great, she responded quickly to my texts and was cool when I needed to return the car slightly earlier than expected. The car ran great and was perfect for our New Orleans trip!
Very accommodating, great location, clean vehicle, and a nice guy. I would definitely rent UMUT's Jeep again if I ever come back to visit New Orleans.
Very nice and clean vehicle Very convenient meeting location I will definitely rent from John again when I come back to New Orleans
This was my first time using Turo based on this experience I would highly recommend it as an app especially this company I dealt with in New Orleans thank you very much for such excellent service the car came as advertised the mileage was great the young man Kyrie help me change out the battery I was able to extend a day when something came up no problem everything went smoother than I could’ve expected thank you for an enjoyable experience
Marissa's car is great. She has it in good running condition and gives to you clean. The pick-up instructions are very clear. The car is reasonably priced for a long weekend and so we're very happy with this rental. We will definitely rent again, if we visit New Orleans in future.
Car was amazing and Umut was the perfect host. I will only drive with him whenever I'm in New Orleans. Whatever you do, this is the guy you want to use! See you soon, buddy!
Caitlin was exceptional. Easy communication and hand off. Will definitely reach out to her again when I return to New Orleans! Thanks again Caitlin!
Brittany was truly a great host. Pick up and drop off was a breeze. The vehicle was clean, spacious, and had all of the amenities that we needed for our trip! I will definitely be booking with Brittany when going back to New Orleans!
Great car, super friendly and no hassle. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a nice car in New Orleans
Great car! My group and I enjoyed our time in New Orleans. Jacques was a great communicator and always replied promptly. He answered any questions that we had and was very accommodating. We recommend him very much!
If I can give more stars to Lou, I would in a heartbeat. The car was very clean and Lou's service was beyond expectations. He was very communicative following up on questions. I had left an item in the car which he brought to my attention and made a concerted effort to get it back to me while in New Orleans. Super nice guy and would highly recommend him. He went beyond expectations as a Turo host.
Lou was super helpful! He worked with us to coordinate pick up/drop off while we were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Lots of the streets were closed down/congested, but he made it work. Very clean, nice ride!
Marisa was a great host and her car was amazing! Super clean, easy to use, and perfect for a weekend exploring New Orleans. We sat four people comfortably and had plenty of storage space in the truck for luggage. Highly recommend and will be booking her car for future trips!
Isaac was great and very responsive and accommodating. I look forward to using him the next time I visit New Orleans! Highly recommend!
The car was in great working condition and was priced well for what we needed. Since it is new it had a lot of great features that made driving comfortable and easy. Filling it up with gas wasn’t expensive considering gas prices today. Only downside is it was a bit dirty on the inside but didn’t bother me terribly.
Great Host! very flexible to accommodate… multiple rides to choose from, at a very reasonable rate… whenever I’m in New Orleans I will rent from this host, with the most! Don’t chance it, this is a winner!
Daniel communicated with me before my pick up time. His car was clean and in great shape.
Marcus was super communicative, and I can’t say enough good things about the X5. The car is beautiful, drives like a dream, and pickup/drop off was super easy. Next time I’m in New Orleans, I will 100% be hoping Marcus’s car is available. Highly highly recommended!!
Terrence was an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING host. He answered any inquiries I had and made the entire experience enjoyable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to rent in the New Orleans area.
The Fiat 500X was a fun and easy vehicle to cruise around in. Marisa was friendly and easy to communicate with. Looking forward to my next trip in New Orleans with the Fiat 500X.
Zo is #1! He provides such an amazing experience. I've rented from him multiple times and I have been very pleased with the ease of renting and his promptness to confirm reservations! He also takes great care of his vehicles. This guy is a hero! Ryan
While visiting New Orleans in July 2021, my wife and I decided to take a few day trips out of the city. The local car rental agencies had limited availability (apparently due to COVID) and many of them had very poor ratings, so we decided to try using Turo. We selected Daniel because he has a a lengthy, and top rated renter history. He was very accommodating, and communicated promptly within the app. He was even able to accommodate a schedule change to our original drop off time. We selected his 2021 Chevy equinox, which was clean, comfortable, roomy, and reliable. I would definitely recommend renting from Daniel, and will rent from him again next time I visit New Orleans.
Trashell is my only option when I visit NOLA and need to rent a car. She takes the stress out of the car rental process. I highly recommend her service. Thanks Trashell for making my stay so smooth, again.
This was a nice car clean and reliable if we’re in New Orleans again we we will come back.Got a chance to meet the owners as well and they are very nice people.
I loved everything about this vehicle and the service. I had so much fun driving it and pretending to be part of the Jeep crew for a short time. I was the perfect vehicle for my trip to New Orleans!
Dan was friendly and responsive to my messages. Car was in perfect shape, clean and well-maintained. Entire transaction was easy. Well definitely book with him again next time I’m in New Orleans.
Great experience! Car was clean, spacious and easy to use. We used it to get out of the city and take some day trips outside of New Orleans. Daniel was easy to get in contact with and very helpful. Would definitely book again!
Car was super clean and smooth-riding. Jessica was very communicative, responsive, personable, and accommodating throughout the entire process. She made pick up and drop off extremely easy as well. If I’m ever back in New Orleans, I’ll definitely be hitting her up again.
Needed a vehicle last minute to run errands for my friend's wedding. UMUT made rental a quick and painless process. My trip confirmed only a few minutes after sending a booking requests. The Jeep Cherokee was the perfect size to help me knock out errands. Thanks again!
NaArlan really cares about delivering the best trip possible for you and your family. He is very easy going and a great host. Thank you!
This was my first Turo experience and I am thrilled. Thankfully, I had Rick as my host who took such exceptional care and helped me through the entire process. When the car of my original reservation had to unexpectedly be in the shop he reached out and offered to swap one of his superior rentals for a reduced rate. I had no idea how to handle this in the app and he stayed up late helping me with customer service etc. I could go on and on. He was always a text away and I felt so very cared for. Rick is the real deal.
Marissa was so friendly and helpful with our car rental. The Kicks was so fun and easy to drive for a weekend road trip with my girlfriends!
First time using Turo, Kennor made me and my girl feel like this is the best way to go. Due to a family issue, I had to change my pick up time 3 times , Kennor was understanding and Almost missed his barber shop appointment to make sure I received the jeep. The Wrangler was in perfect condition and clean and made the road trip even better. I’ll definitely recommend kennor cars to family and friends.
Caitlin made my first time using Turo a breeze. From the booking to picking up, Caitlin will ensure everything is good to go before and during your trip. I HIGHLY recommend using Caitlin if available while in New Orleans. You won't regret it. Great experience 👍
The car drove great! Was in great condition! Caitlyn is super sweet and such a great host! She was very accommodating and did everything she needed to to ensure it was a smooth rental process! Would definitely recommend 10/10!
Nicholas and his car were amazing. The car was super clean, gets incredible gas mileage and Nicholas was super accommodating and even had cold bottled water for us waiting in the car. What an awesome gesture. I will for sure use him again if I travel to New Orleans. Thanks Nicholas.
Reached out to Rick on short notice once we realized we could use a car in New Orleans, and he was super responsive and has us set up with the car a few hours later. Extremely communicative and he really bent over backwards to make sure our trip went well. Highly recommended.
Jessika was so professional and courteous, her car was impeccably clean, and reliable backup camera, Bluetooth has all the essentials needed to be on the road in this day and age. Thank you for being so professional and reliable, when I come back to New Orleans I will be sure to use you again!
First time Turo user, and things couldn’t have gone better. The Jeep was fantastic, and spotless. Rick was quick to respond, and the pick-up and drop off was easy. Jeep is the perfect vehicle in New Orleans, as it is easy to get around the city with, but good on a backroad as well.
