Rent a car and explore Baton Rouge, LA

Things to do and places to see in Baton Rouge, LA

Baton Rouge blends government, history, and a serious food scene into one lively Louisiana city. With a rental car, you can move easily between riverfront views, downtown attractions, and neighborhood restaurants that locals guard fiercely. Start with the Louisiana State Capitol, the Mississippi Riverfront, and the city’s ever-growing food scene.

Rent the perfect car
Baton Rouge, LA

Louisiana State Capitol

The Louisiana State Capitol is tall, striking, and surprisingly scenic at the top. A rental car makes it easy to pop in between meetings or sightseeing stops downtown. Parking nearby is straightforward, and the views over the river are worth the elevator ride. It’s a must-see, even if politics isn’t normally your thing.

Downtown Baton Rouge

Downtown Baton Rouge is compact, walkable in spots, and full of character once you know where to look. With your own rental car, you can arrive for dinner, park easily, and leave on your own schedule. It’s especially convenient if you’re staying near the Hilton Baton Rouge or attending events along the river. Local tip: evenings are when downtown really wakes up.

Local restaurants along Florida Blvd and Siegen Lane

This is where Baton Rouge flexes its culinary muscle. From classic Louisiana comfort food to modern Southern cooking, Florida Blvd and Siegen Lane are packed with places worth the drive. A rental vehicle makes hopping between spots easy, especially if you’re traveling with family or a group. Come hungry, leave happy.

Top tips for renting a car in Baton Rouge


Baton Rouge driving is mostly relaxed, but timing matters. Plan your rental pick up and return outside peak traffic if you can, especially around Florida Blvd and Airline Highway. Double-check your reservation details in advance so there are no surprises when you hit the road.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Baton Rouge?


Speed limits are clearly posted, but local driving habits are confident and quick. Rush hour can slow things down near downtown and major arteries. Keep an eye out for sudden lane changes and short on-ramps — very on brand for Louisiana. Once you’re moving, it’s smooth sailing.


What is parking like in Baton Rouge?


Parking is generally easy compared to larger cities. Downtown has garages and street parking, and most restaurants and attractions offer nearby lots. Read signs carefully, especially near government buildings.


Are there toll roads in Baton Rouge?


There are no toll roads in Baton Rouge itself. If your trip takes you farther afield, planning ahead is still smart, but around town, you can drive freely without worrying about toll fees.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Baton Rouge?


Gas stations are plentiful throughout the city, especially along Florida Blvd and Siegen Lane. EV charging options are growing, particularly near hotels and shopping centers. Whether you’re driving a Tesla Model 3 or a full-size SUV, staying powered up is easy.


Do I need to rent a car in Baton Rouge?


Yes — Baton Rouge is very much a driving city. Attractions are spread out, public transportation is limited, and the best food spots are rarely next door. A rental car gives you freedom and saves time.

What kind of license do I need to rent a car on Turo?

Turo accepts valid licenses (not expired, suspended, or revoked) that allow for full driving privileges; this includes driver’s licenses issued outside of the US. Licenses that Turo doesn’t accept in the US include any that have expired, have been altered, are conditional, probational, provisional, or restricted. Learner’s permit/instruction permits are not accepted.

Do I need to be a certain age to rent a car on Turo?

How does car rental insurance work on Turo?

No, you don’t need personal insurance coverage to rent a car on Turo.

In the US, any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your Turo protection plan. When booking a car in the US, you’ll choose between three protection plans — Premier (eligibility requirements apply), Standard, or Minimum — to get the level of protection that’s right for you. On each trip, you’re covered with third-party automobile liability insurance provided under a policy issued to Turo by Travelers Excess and Surplus Lines Company.*

In New York state, you’ll also choose between Premier (if available), Standard, or Minimum. With each plan, you’re covered with liability insurance of $1,250,000.* Protection plans for New York trips also include access to roadside assistance, priority phone support, and 24/7 customer assistance.

Some hosts offer unlimited distance for a trip; others set a daily distance limit — you’ll need to check on each rental car individually to see if this service is provided. On the vehicle pages, you’ll see the total miles or kilometres you’re allowed to drive under the heading “Distance included.” You can find cars offering unlimited mileage with every trip by using the “Unlimited distance” filter.

Can other people drive the car that I rented?

Yes, multiple guests can drive the car you rent on Turo, as long as they are all approved to drive. The primary driver (whoever rented the car) can add additional drivers with no fees or additional charges. Only the primary driver can request to add drivers; Turo hosts cannot do it for you. We encourage you to request to add additional drivers before your trip starts, though guests can request to add a driver while a trip is in progress.

To speed up the process, have your additional driver create a Turo account and get approved to drive before you request to add them. All drivers must have a valid driver’s license and meet the age requirements for the car you’ve booked. You can request to add drivers via the “Trips” tab in the Turo app without additional driver charges or extra costs.

* Any personal insurance you may have that covers damage to the host’s vehicle would kick in before your protection plan, except in limited situations for trips booked in Maryland, but this protects your own wallet.

The policy does not provide coverage for damage to a host’s vehicle.

For questions or information about the third party liability insurance that is included in protection plans, consumers in Maryland and the licensed states listed here may contact Turo Insurance Agency at (415) 508-0283 or claims@turo.agency.
