Jason was amazing to work with and was very helpful. He gave very clear directions to the vehicle and made our trip easy. He also gave recommendations for restaurants and nearby attractions. He was quick to respond when messaged and was very helpful. At the end of our trip the parking garage at the airport was full so he drove us and dropped us off to make it easier for us. The Bronco was great and so was Jason.

The car was great and clean, our correspondants were very nice and reactive. As soon as we had a question, they answered right away, which felt nice ! We only had issues to connect the phones (either Bluetooth and cable were sensitive) and the windshield was broken. Other than that, great experience and great car !

I had such a great experience renting the Vanderhall! The car itself was an absolute head-turner — stylish, fun, and such a unique ride. It handled smoothly, had great power, and made the whole trip feel special. The rental process was easy and hassle-free, and the vehicle was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described. If you’re looking for something exciting and memorable, I definitely recommend renting a Vanderhall. I’d happily rent again!

I'll be honest: This was my first time doing this thing and I wasn't sure what to expect. After some minor directional issues on my part I arrived to pickup the vehicle. The owners/staff were top notch. Courteous, helpful, and overall a pleasure to deal with. I'll be checking out the other vehicles they offer and booking another soon!

Came to visit family, I have visited New Orleans before and typically rent from Turo, this vehicle and host was by far the best! We have a toddler who needs a car seat and he installed it for us before we even got here, which as we all Know is a huge relief of one less thing us parents have to do. The hosts communication was amazing everytime we had a question he answered right away he made the check in and check out process so easy! We definitely will be booking this vehicle everytime we come to visit family!

Absolutely nothing but the best from Jason. Turo'd twice from him in one weekend, and he went above and beyond with everything from the car's cleanliness to being flexible with pickup/dropoff. The BRaptor is incredible and surprisingly easy to drive in the narrowest streets in NOLA. Highly recommend.

Definitely drives amazingly! awesome interior and so many features. i WILL be rent this raptor again when i come back in town in a few months.

Your rental car provides comfortable transportation between the park's various sections, from the Besthoff Sculpture Garden to the historic Peristyle pavilion, while enjoying the canopy of majestic oak trees overhead.


Mississippi River waterfront and scenic levee drives

The Mississippi River waterfront offers spectacular views and peaceful driving routes along the historic levees that protect the city. You can access multiple viewing points along the river, with parking available near the French Market and Woldenberg Park areas. The elevated levee roads provide unique perspectives of both the mighty river and the city skyline, making for memorable drives especially during sunset hours when the water reflects the changing colors.
