It was horrendously expensive, which was why it was only for 3 days rather than the 8 we are here for.
It was $242 (c £180) incl second driver (which was not necessary and hardly worth it but daughter was keen to drive here). That's more than I've sometimes paid for my 7 week rentals in Portugal (though I usually only have something like a Seat Ibiza size). I could have had a more ordinary car for maybe $180 but we fancied something "different".
On another note, I bought a Jazzy pass yesterday which covers you for all the buses, streetcars and the ferry for a day. It was 80 cents! About the only cheap thing here!! I'd plotted out my itinerary for the day using Google but broke it after the first stop (St Louis Cemetery no 3) as I realised that with waiting times for Saturday/bus services and some difficulty locating stops I'd been too ambitious. Lunch was fine though, a 6" hot Peacemaker Po'Boy (shrimps, oyster, cheese and bacon) and a couple of pints of Amber here www.mahonyspoboys.com/ It was nearly $50 though, incl tip...
