Question 4

What kind of rental car should I get for Harvey?

Accepted Answer

Harvey is a little outside of downtown New Orleans, so it's likely you'll be doing a good amount of driving. If your plan is to use Harvey as a base to discover the city and its nearby areas, opt for a smaller set of wheels. There's nothing like a mini for squeezing into those crowded parking spots. Alternatively, if you're heading away from all the hustle and bustle and bright lights, go for something with a stronger engine and more legroom. Not many people regret splashing out that little bit extra on a premium or a full-size car.

Question 5

Should I get a luxury rental car in Harvey?

Accepted Answer

You'll be glad to hear that there's an impressive variety of both high-end and economy vehicles to rent in Harvey. What you go with depends on how much you want to spend and what you're hoping to do. Specialty vehicles are hard to beat if you're all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splashing out, why not pick up an elite SUV, or perhaps a fancy mid-sized sedan? On the other hand, if you're just after a car to zip around town in as efficiently as possible, you're better off choosing a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your pocket).

Question 6

What side of the road do they drive on in Harvey?

Accepted Answer

You have to drive on the right side of the road in Harvey. Even though the rules may be similar to home, it's always smart to drive with extra care in places you've never been.
