Baton Rouge to New Orleans Airport Car Service
Baton Rouge has its own airport, but many travelers fly out of New Orleans (MSY) for more non-stop flights and better fares. The drive is about 80 miles east on I-10 and usually takes 1 hour 15 minutes. With traffic at the Mississippi River bridge or a wreck near LaPlace, it can stretch past 1 hour 45. NorthshoreXpress handles that drive so you don't have to leave your car in long-term parking for a week.
Where we pick up in Baton Rouge
We pick up anywhere in the Baton Rouge area: homes in Mid City, the Garden District and Southdowns, apartments near LSU, and offices downtown near the State Capitol. We also pick up from hotels near the L'Auberge and Hollywood casinos, and in surrounding communities like Prairieville, Gonzales and Zachary.
Planning around I-10 traffic
I-10 between Baton Rouge and New Orleans is one of the busiest stretches in Louisiana. Rush hour at the I-10/I-12 split and construction near the bridge can add real time. When you book, we set your pickup with a traffic cushion built in, based on your flight time, so you arrive at MSY with room to check bags and get through security.
LSU families and game days
Parents flying in for move-in weekend, graduation or a Tiger Stadium game can book us from MSY straight to campus or their hotel. On home game Saturdays, we plan for the extra traffic around campus and on the interstate.
