Check out the offers available with Hertz, Enterprise and Thrifty. They're some of the top providers in the city.
The coverage Hertz or another supplier includes with your Shreveport car hire can differ, so remember to read the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will apply a surcharge for it.
Booking a one-way car hire can be your secret weapon for finding a deal. Simply check 'Return car to a different location.' Providers sometimes have to move vehicles from one location to another, which means you can snag some excellent one-way prices on a car for rent in Shreveport.
Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. No hidden refueling charges at drop-off either.
Want to explore more without stressing about how many miles you rack up? Find rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and travel as far as you like without the extra fees.

Add a car seat to your Shreveport car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Requirements change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their size, age and weight is always the safest way to go.
You'll be asked for some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
If it's your first time driving in the United States, remember that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 40kph in built-up areas and 110kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.

Around 5pm is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.
The United States dollar (USD) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day purchases and activities. Pay with a card when it's convenient, and keep a little cash when electronic payments aren't an option.
