During your stay in the City, certain things contribute to a convenient stay there. One of the issues is the comfortability of moving around from one place to another. However, getting the best driving experience requires the best car. For instance, for smooth movement in Lake Charles city, a four-wheel drive car can significantly benefit your journey as you explore the different places in the City. With this car, you can have a great trip with fewer obstacles or instances of breaking down due to its engine.
Children below 13 years old are not allowed in the front passenger seats. Children between the ages of 2 and 4 must be in a rear-facing seat buckled with a seat belt. Those between 4 and 9 years and are too big for the rear-facing seats should be in a child seat fixed well with a car lap-shoulder belt. Child seats are only permitted in the back.
When driving in the City of Lake Charles, you must be keen enough not to break the different traffic rules that the City has put in place. One of the crucial traffic rules that the City is strict in is the speed limit. There have been many accidents due to overspending or breaking traffic rules. Due to this, in a place such as Holly Brook Drive, the speed limit is 20 mph. On other highways such as the Cattail way, Moss Rock Drive, Waterfall Drive, and Riverside Drive, the City still maintains a speed limit of 20 mph. However, away from these highways, the speed limit varies depending on the nature of the road or street.
With your own set of wheels, you can take a 25-minute road trip to Vinton, which lies 23 miles away. The city has an attractive side with the Delta Down Racetrack Casino and Hotels. The city also offers great sites for horse racing. The road trip from Lake Charles to Jennings will take 37 minutes and lies about 36 miles away. Here you get to visit the Gator Chateau home for baby alligators. On the other hand, a 52-minute drive from Lake Charles can also take you to Holly Beach which lies 47 miles away. It provides beautiful beaches surrounded by white sand and nature trails.
When looking for a place to stay, a good parking place is what you need to consider during your stay, especially if you have a rental car. Most parking places are in hotels for the visitors; however, you need to understand that your visit is not only limited to the hotel, and frequently you will be required to take a ride. In Lake Charles city, several places are considered the best for parking. These places include; Aiport BLVD Parking, Riverside parking, and Millennium park. Ideally, you can pack at David D for around $28 a month or Ernest S for about $39 monthly.

Pros:
Alamo didn’t have a car for me. They did the same thing to me last year. You need to stop contracting with them. The lady over the counter even stated don’t go through a third partyCons:
The car was supposed to be ready at 12, I received a phone call from Alamo that there was no car. She stated she would call me back as soon as one became available She I showed up at 8pm and they still didn’t have a car. It wasn’t until I became visibly upset and started saying things so the customers could hear me that did they mysteriously came up with a car.2.8 Poor

My flight was running late, I called to make accommodations since my pick up was scheduled for 2 but i wouldnt make it in until around 430 (they closed at 4) and was treated rudely by staff at LCH. Asked if they could drop car at FBO for general aviation (only a 3 min walk) since i was flying in private aircraft as they’ve done in the past and just told no. When I picked up car at competitor they told me they would have been happy to drop car and the enterprise attendant working is known for being rude and not helpful.2.0 Poor

Cons:
Being made to pick up the vehicle at a time when that particular rental office was closed - having to rebook through Enterprize for another location (in town) at the airport and being charged a new fee ($5 per day facility fee) and then returning the vehicle two and a half days early and getting charged almost the same original fee. What a dissappointment!9.2 Wonderful

Cons:
I request a rental 6 days before getting my rental. When I got there, the lady ran all my information and then said we don't have the convertible that you requested. Then, she asked if I wanted another car. If I wanted anot her car, I would have requested another car. I wanted the convertible that I requested. I ended up with no car from Budget. I was so mad.8.8 Very Good
