Top tips for renting a car in Slidell


Whether you're just cruising around Slidell, or plan on venturing to New Orleans and Baton Rouge (just 1.5 hours from Slidell by car!), knowing the local road rules and lay of the land before you go is extremely helpful. Here's what to consider before driving in Slidell, Louisiana.


What are the road rules and driving conditions in Slidell?


Slidell's suburban feel makes it a friendly, easy place to drive for the most part. Still, it's important to be aware of the rules before you set out on the road, especially if you're headed into New Orleans, where there's more traffic to contend with.


While driving in Slidell, always adhere to local speed limits, which start at 25 miles per hour (mph) in residential areas, and climb to 65 mph on divided highways and 70 mph on interstates, unless otherwise posted. In Louisiana, speed limits are absolute, which means you may be fined if you're going even one mile too fast. As well as obeying the speed limits, be sure to drive on the right-hand side of the road, take note of road signage, wear a seatbelt, and only use your phone on hands-free. The state of Louisiana has enforced strict penalties for drivers who use a handheld cell phone, as of August 2025.


Like most US states, Louisiana has its fair share of unique road rules. For instance, you can't use headphones while you're driving in the Pelican State, nor can you coast down hills in neutral. Louisiana employs the 'Move Over Law', which requires drivers to change lanes or slow down when approaching an emergency vehicle pulled over on the side of the road with its lights flashing. Pedestrians always have the right-of-way in Louisiana, even when they're jaywalking.


The weather in Louisiana is scorching hot in summer, but thankfully, mild in the winter, which means you shouldn't have to navigate snow or ice when you're driving in the cooler months. However, Slidell gets wet due to its subtropical climate, so be sure to use your windshield wipers and exercise caution if driving in heavy rain.


What is parking like in Slidell?


Parking in Slidell is very easy, with lots of public lots and street parking spaces scattered throughout town. Most of these are free when you park within the designated time limits; however, some may carry a small fee. It's important to note that most public open-air parking lots are connected to malls, stores, restaurants, and hotels, such as the Fremaux Town Center, which requires you to be a customer to park there. Always check signage before you leave your rental car!


Are there toll roads in Slidell?


Yes, there's one major toll road in the Slidell area – the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. This road connects Slidell to New Orleans, so it's important to note if you're traveling into the big city. Apart from this, there's only one other toll road in Louisiana, south of New Orleans, between the mainland and Grand Isle. It's about a 2.5 hour drive from Slidell, so you'll probably only cross it if you're planning a day out or a statewide road trip.


Are there gas stations and EV chargers in Slidell?


There are many gas stations in Slidell, as well as a handful of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations. If you're driving a fuel-powered vehicle, you won't have to look far for a gas station – these are scattered across the town center and at various neighborhood locations throughout Slidell. For a convenient option while you're cruising through downtown Slidell, try the corner of Gause Blvd and Robert Blvd, where you'll find Exxon, Circle K, and Chevron.


EV chargers are a little less prominent, but there are still a few within easy driving distance of the Slidell town center. You'll find an Adopt charger by Heritage Park and another in Fritchie Park, perfect for leaving your vehicle while you go for a walk or have a picnic. If you prefer to charge up while shopping, try the Fremaux Town Center, which has both a Tesla and a Rivian charger.


Do I need to rent a car in Slidell?


It's definitely a great idea to rent a car in Slidell, Louisiana. The town has limited public transit options apart from an Amtrak train into New Orleans, so if you're hoping to explore the area, your own car will be a major benefit. Give yourself the freedom to see nature reserves, parks, restaurants, shops, and of course, nearby NOLA, on your own schedule when you rent on Turo.
