You can get around easily and cheaply without a car, and you won't have the hassle and expense of downtown parking. If you're planning a stay of three or more nights, you may wish to include the River Road plantations, a swamp tour and cajun country in your itinerary. For those we would recommend a car. We provide driving directions and a map to all guests. For those not driving, we recommend taxis and the Airport Shuttle.
Taxis are readily available just outside of baggage claim.
The Airport Shuttle serves the Benachi house with ten-passenger vans that depart from baggage claim. Tickets may be purchased from the driver, or at a service desk within the baggage claim area. Stops may be made en route for other passengers with other destinations. Please let us know, and we will make the arrangements and charge it to your room. The climate of New Orleans can best be described as balmy.
