Top tips for driving in Covington
A few local pointers make getting around Covington and the Northshore easy.
Road rules
Louisiana law requires a valid driver's license, seat belts for everyone, and hands-free phone use while driving. Watch for reduced speeds in school zones and stay alert for pedestrians and cyclists downtown and near the parks.
Parking
Downtown Covington has free public parking lots and on-street spaces near Columbia Street — check posted time limits. Most parks, including Bogue Falaya Park, offer parking near the entrance.
Toll roads
Louisiana has few toll roads. The main one you might use is the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway between the Northshore and the south shore, which charges a toll. Plan your route ahead so there are no surprises.
Gas and EV charging
Gas stations are easy to find along Interstate 12 and Highway 190. If you book an electric vehicle, you'll find public charging stations around Covington and along major routes toward New Orleans.
Do you need a car in Covington?
Yes — public transit is limited on the Northshore, and the best parks, trails, and day trips are spread out. A rental car is the most practical way to see it all on your schedule.
Turo vs traditional car rental
Turo is a car rental marketplace, not a traditional rental counter. Rather than lining up at a desk for whatever's on the lot, you browse a wide selection of cars from local hosts, compare real prices and ratings, and choose pickup or delivery that fits your trip. It's rental reinvented — more choice, more flexibility, and often a more convenient handoff.
