MSY Airport to Uptown New Orleans Car Service

Distance: ≈ 15 mi · 25–35 minutes
Coverage: St. Charles Ave, Tulane, Loyola, Freret St
Fleet: Sedans · SUVs · Sprinters · Limos
Dispatch: 24 / 7

Uptown New Orleans runs along the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line through Tulane and Loyola's campuses and the Freret Street corridor, and it's where a large share of our university move-in, parents'-weekend and alumni-event bookings start and end.

The drive from Louis Armstrong International is about 15 miles and 25 to 35 minutes via I-10 and either South Carrollton Avenue or the Pontchartrain Expressway, depending on your exact address and the time of day.

Tulane and Loyola families, Uptown hotel guests, and residents booking a routine airport run all use this route, and streetcar-line traffic is one of the first things your chauffeur plans around.

University travel through Uptown

Move-in weekends, parents' weekend and commencement bring a predictable spike in Tulane and Loyola family travel, and we run those as flat-rate bookings rather than fares that climb when campus traffic is heaviest. See our Tulane and Loyola university transportation pages for details specific to each campus.

A Sprinter van is often the right call for a family moving a student in with a full car's worth of belongings, or for a group of parents sharing one ride from the same flight.

Booking the ride

The flat rate covers the full run and accounts for St. Charles Avenue streetcar crossings and game-day traffic near the universities when it applies.

For a day that combines an Uptown pickup with a French Quarter dinner or a Garden District stop, hourly, as-directed charter keeps one chauffeur and vehicle with you throughout.
