Parking is not cheap and if you don't know where you are going the streets are confusing. Lots of curving streets that change names in the blink of an eye and lots of one ways. Most parking in the French Quarter is on the outskirts. taxis are the best way to go if you don't want to walk. A cab for four people is over $40. The rates just went up so I don't remember what they are, but they are posted in baggage claim. there is a taxi attendant loading the cabs and they can tell you the specific price.

One word of caution DO NOT GET IN A NIGHT HAWK branded cab. My sister took one home from the FQ one night and he forced himself inside her apartment and tried to rape her. A reputable cab company to have written down or programmed into your mobile is United Cab (504) 522-9771.
