“Nice ride ”

“Excellent, on time great driver”

Lawrence P. Travelled on 17 October 2022

“The driver was excellent, timely and knowledgeable and followed his car maps perfectly. Attentive and helpful with luggage both at pickup and drop off was well appreciated. Would definitely use him again if he were available. My primary complaint is focused on Jayride’s pickup written instructions, LAX is a zoo during the construction now and identifying the proper shuttle bus could have been clearer, took about 45 minutes to finally connect with the correct shuttle after having make 2 calls to the reference phone number at Lyft. I just disembarked after a 15 hour direct flight from Singapore arriving late at night, this portion of the experience was not pleasant. Hopefully after the construction is done at LAX this problem will be solved. ”

The two most popular ways to arrive in New Orleans is either by plane or car. If you are arriving by plane, you will be arriving at Louis Armstrong International Airport (MSY) located in Kenner. Kenner is about 25-30 mins from the French Quarter driving so walking isn’t really an option. With walking out of the equation, the four main ways of getting to the French Quarter and surrounding areas are airport shuttle, taking a taxi, Uber or renting a car.

Airport Shuttle:

Shuttle service is available from the airport to hotels and various other locations in the New Orleans for $24.00 (per person, one-way) or $44.00 (per person, round-trip). These fares include three (3) bags per person. Additional baggage may be subject to additional fees. Passengers can purchase tickets at the Airport at Airport Shuttle ticket booths located on the first level throughout the Baggage Claim area.

The only major drawbacks to taking a shuttle is that you may have to wait for the shuttle to fill with other passengers or you may have to wait for the shuttle to get to your hotel while it makes it stops at other passenger’s hotels.

How much is shuttle from new orleans airport to french quarter
There are five main ways to travel from Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport and the hotels in the French Quarter and surrounding New Orleans.

It's about a 15 mile drive, so walking isn't really an option. That leaves taking an airport shuttle, taking a taxi or renting a car. If you're lucky and you have a friend that lives in town, you may be able to hit him up for a ride.

Airport Shuttle

The airport shuttle is a very popular way to get from the airport and to hotels in New Orleans. It costs $44 per person round-trip or $24 each way. You can reserve a spot on a shuttle online in advance or in person at the baggage claim area once you arrive in town. If you're traveling by yourself, I recommend taking a shuttle. It'll be cheaper. If you're traveling with children under the age of 6, it may be cheaper than taking a taxi. Children under 6 ride free with their parents.

The only major drawbacks to taking a shuttle is that you may have to wait for the shuttle to fill with other passengers or you may have to wait for the shuttle to get to your hotel while it makes it stops at other passenger's hotels. For reservations, call (504) 522-3500 or (866) 596-2699 at least 24 hours before your flight. Wheelchair accessible vehicles are available but require you to book a week ahead. 

Taxi

Taxis are a great way to get to your hotel if you don't want to wait and are cheaper if you're traveling in a small group of two or more adults. The rate for one or two people is $33 from the airport to the Central Business District. It's approximately the same for a hotel in the French Quarter. There's a $14 charge for each additional passenger. Taxis are required to have credit card machines now and some even have in-car soda vending machines.

Rental Car

If you're planning to do a lot of traveling around the city, you may want to rent a car at the airport. However, you should know that you don't have to rent a car to see the city. Many of the hotels are within walking distance to all of the major sights and attractions. If they're not, it's usually a short and cheap cab ride away. Plus, there are the streetcars that can take you to points across the city. If you do rent a car, parking is not always easy to find and if you do find a spot, it can get expensive. Many hotels in the city charge for parking on-site and some have valet service.

Ride Sharing

Uber and Lyft are an alternative to taxis and are available for a minimum of $33. It is super easy to use via apps on your smart phone and they'll pick you up at a designated location across the street from baggage claim. Just choose your destination and they'll send you the make of the car, the license plate number as well as a pic of the driver. They usually show up within ten minutes depending on your location. And you are on you way! Easy peasy!  

City Bus

For just $1.50, you can take the RTA's 202 Airport Express from the airport to Elk Place at Canal Street in downtown New Orleans.
