Hard for GPS to show you exactly where the turn is. Be sure to ask for a land mark especially if you’re going in the dark, but we passed the turn a few times picking up and dropping off. ◡̈ Good car.

Top tips for renting a car in Alexandria


Follow these tips for a safe and smooth trip in your car rental (Alexandria, LA).


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Alexandria?


Alexandria is a well-connected city in Louisiana, with major routes like Interstate 49, along with US Highways 71 and 165, connecting it to neighbouring cities like Lafayette and Baton Rouge.

Traffic in Alexandria is typically light compared to larger cities, but congestion can occur during the usual morning and evening rush hours, particularly around busy main roads like MacArthur Drive and Jackson Street.

Always follow posted speed limit signs, as limits can vary. When signs aren’t present, the default speed limit in Louisiana is 55 mph on non-interstate highways and up to 70 mph on interstates. Be especially careful in school zones, where speed limits are strictly enforced, and in construction zones or residential areas, where reduced limits are common.

Alexandria generally enjoys mild winters and warm, sunny weather for much of the year, making for easy driving conditions most days. However, spring and summer can bring severe thunderstorms, often accompanied by heavy rain, flash flooding, and occasionally tornadoes. Always check the local weather forecast before heading out, and use extra caution during wet or stormy conditions.


What is parking like in Alexandria?


There’s a variety of parking options in downtown Alexandria, including street parking and surface lots. Be sure to check signs for time limits or restrictions to avoid fines. You’ll also find parking near public areas like Kees Park and popular shopping areas such as Alexandria Mall.


Are there toll roads in Alexandria?


There are no toll roads in Alexandria.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Alexandria?


Use apps like PlugShare or Google Maps to find the nearest gas station or EV charger in Alexandria and check their operating hours.

You’ll find plenty of gas stations around Alexandria, especially along major roads like Jackson St and Old Marksville Hwy, so you can easily fuel up on your way in or out of town. There are 25+ EV charging stations within 9 miles of Alexandria as well.


Do I need to rent a car in Alexandria?


Yes, it's best to rent a car in Alexandria, especially if you plan to explore beyond downtown. While there is public transportation and rideshare services, they can be limited or pricey if you're making multiple stops or heading out to Kisatchie National Forest or exploring the many hiking trails in the area.

With your own rental car from Turo, you’ll have the flexibility to move at your own pace, whether you’re exploring Alexandria or here on business.

You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.
