How much is a cab from New Orleans Airport to French Quarter?

Under the assumption that I will not need a car rental for this trip because parking is limited and streets are narrow as well as most of the things to do for fun are in that district.

Taxicabs: A cab ride costs $28.00 from the airport to the Central Business District (CBD) for one or two persons and $12.00 (per passenger) for three or more passengers. Pick-up is on the lower level, outside the baggage claim area. There may be an additional charge for extra baggage. $1 fuel surcharge added to total fare.

Airport Shuttle: Shuttle service is available from the airport to the hotels in the CBD for $15.00 (per person, one-way) or $30.00 (per person, round-trip). Three bags per person. Call 1-866-596-2699 or (504) 522-3500 for more details or to make a reservation. Advance reservations are required 48 hours prior to travel for all ADA accessible transfers. Please call well enough in advance for the specially-equipped shuttle to be reserved. For group reservations of 10 or more people please dial 1-866-596-2699. Ticket booths are located on the lower level in the baggage claim area.

You are correct and you don't need a car to get around in the French Quarter, Central Business District, or Warehouse District. Also, the parking regulations are Byzantine and there are lots of Parking Control Agents. If you do rent a car, leave it in a lot or garage unless you are traveling away from downtown.

The regional transit authority (www.norta.com) sells 1 and 3 day passes that offer unlimited use of buses and streetcars for the day(s) you select. There are also lots of taxicabs.

Public transit is available from the airport to downtown, but it is not convenient and the drop off/pick up point is not close to the French Quarter: www.jeffersontransit.org

Hope you have a great time!

A shuttle is about $16-22, depending on time of year and amount of people you are traveling with. You definitely do not want to rent a car for the French Quarter. The whole thing is only 7 x 13 blocks.

About $25.
