Bossier City Rental Notes:
Airport Rental Alternative:
On average, car rentals in Bossier City cost around $74 per day, with the lowest-priced rentals starting at $29 per day.
Compare airport vs. neighborhood pickups – town counters often dodge the 10-15 % airport tax, worth a quick rideshare from SHV for longer rentals.
Mix-and-match locations – grab the car in Bossier, return it at SHV when you fly out. Local one-way fees are usually small and still beat full airport pricing.
Target the "weekly" sweet spot – a 5-7-day rate in this area is often cheaper than paying for 4 or 5 separate days.
Book 2-3 weeks ahead, then watch for drops – cancel-and-rebook if prices slide; most suppliers here don't charge a penalty.
Parking in Bossier City is generally plentiful and often free, especially compared to larger urban areas.

What documents do I need to rent a car in Bossier City?
You'll need a valid driver's license and a major credit card (or, at some agencies, a debit card) in your name. If you plan to use your own insurance or a credit card's collision damage waiver, the rental agent might ask you for proof, but it's not always required. If you're visiting from another country and your license isn't in English, you should have an International Driving Permit.
Is it easy to navigate between Bossier City and Shreveport?
Yes, several bridges cross the Red River to connect the cities, including I-20, the 70 Bypass and the Texas Street Bridge. Driving between them usually takes 10-15 minutes, and a bit longer during rush hours.
Where can I find the cheapest gas in Bossier City?
You can often find good prices at gas stations near Walmart on Airline Drive and on East Texas Street. Gas in the area is usually cheaper than the national average.
Can I drive my rental car to Texas or Arkansas?
Yes, all major rental companies let you drive into neighboring states. Since Bossier City is near the borders, many people take day trips to east Texas or southwest Arkansas.
What's the minimum age to rent a car in Bossier City?
Most companies rent to drivers who are 21 or older, but drivers under 25 will pay an extra "young driver" fee of around $25-30 per day.
Is there public transportation I can use instead of renting a car?
The Sportran bus system serves the Shreveport-Bossier area, but its routes are limited and buses don't come very often. While some hotels offer shuttles to the casinos, renting a car gives you much more freedom to explore the region.
