Cheap Baton Rouge Hire Car & Car Rentals

Steaming crawfish, crispy po’boys, and Mardi Gras…OK, that last one gave it away. You’re going to Louisiana! But don’t think you have to go to the city that rhymes with “more-leans”—the “Capital City” is really the best place to soak it all in. From the capitol building to the bayou, Wotif’s Baton Rouge car hire options will get you there (and to New Orleans, too, if you must).

Go Cruising

Park your Baton Rouge car rental near the riverfront and make like Tom Sawyer as you explore the shores of the Great Mississippi. No “Kidd”-ing: You’ve got to see the famous USS Kidd, a World War II destroyer that’s now a museum. The only thing that will be destroyed is your craving for history.

If you need even more history, Louisiana's Old State Capitol is just up the street. Looking like a castle straight out of the Middle Ages, it now houses the Museum of Political History. Once inside, don’t forget to look up! The stained-glass dome is the almost as impressive as the exterior.

Road Trip!

Deciding on a road trip is as easy as sweet potato pecan pie (and yes, that’s a thing here!). Book car hire in Baton Rouge and head 130km east to New Orleans. Your first stop is the French Quarter, where you’ll find anything your jazz and pie-loving heart could desire.

Take in the historic St. Louis Cathedral and see the oldest apartment buildings in the United States (we hope they have rent control)! Then get wild with a Hurricane or two—the classic NOLA drink, not the other kind. Just be sure you’ve got New Orleans accommodation for the night.

Uber-important history? Check. Crazy-gorgeous architecture? Check. Proximity to the awesomeness that is New Orleans? Double-check. Yep, Baton Rouge holidays have it all. The only thing you need to add on is one of Wotif’s awesome car hire deals. Then buy an extra slice of pie—your stomach will thank you.
