For those looking into car rentals in Covington, consider renting a small car, such as a compact or an economy car. Because Covington streets are so small and narrow, it will be much easier to navigate your way through the city if you're driving a smaller car. And if you drive across the lake into New Orleans, a smaller car will be easier to negotiate through the city’s traffic congestion.
Most streets in the city of Covington have a maximum speed limit of 25 mph. If you drive beyond the Covington city limits onto undivided rural roads, the speed limit is 55 mph. The speed limit of Interstate 12, which courses through Covington, is 70 mph. But as I-12 stretches further out into more rural areas in both directions, the speed limit becomes 75 mph. The speed limit in a school zone is 15 mph. If, when you are driving car rentals in Covington, you get a speeding ticket, it can cost from $100 to $300 in most situations.
Downtown Covington has parking lots called Ox Lots, as a nod to Covington's history. These Ox Lots provide parking off the street that is free to the public, welcoming everyone from downtown visitors to city employees. You're unlikely to find parking meters on the streets of Covington, but if you cross the lake to New Orleans, you will find that parking meters operate Monday through Saturday from 8 am to 7 pm and charge $2 to $3 an hour.

4.0 Mediocre
Apr 2021
Pros:
Staff was very polite and friendly.Cons:
I waited 30 min and they couldn't decide which car to give me. I ended up with a smaller car which was fine except it was very dirty inside, the tire light came on. For $95/day you don't send out a car that looks like its 30 years old. I wasn't going to wait for another car so just took it. I heard the supervisor on the phone telling someone they were short handed but there were 4 employees inside. Not sure who was around back cleaning cars. I had a reservation so not sure what the issues were. Car should have been ready.10.0 Wonderful

Apr 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
Everything we booked on the internet was found to be false when we physically showed up to get the car. The car itself. the cost. drop off time. etc... Staff was not helpful at all and then when we accidentally left an important object in the car, I showed up the following morning to try to recovery my property and the gentleman there was extremely difficult in helping me to find the car. He was insistent it had already been rented. i begged then insisted we just take a look in the back to see if it was there. Turns out it was and I was able to recover the object. i will never rent a car from this place again.One location in Covington

May 2017
Pros:
The weather was turning bad. Thunderstorms rolling in. However, the Budget representative was there and got me into my car and on the way quickly.Cons:
I picked my car up at 11am. I was a little early, instead of the noon scheduled pick up. The Budget representative said the weather was bad, so he figured no one would be there and he was about to leave. If I had got there at the scheduled time, would I have found the office closed prematurely? I'll never know, but I'm sure glad we got there early! The final price was 50% more than the booked price. That was a nasty surprise which will have me looking elsewhere next time.8.0 Very good
Dec 2015
Pros:
Agent was helpful and helped out with a aurplus charge that the airport added without my consent. There is a $13 fee if you return the car with less than 70 miles between pick up and drop off, so look for that.
