It is way less headache especially with drunk friends to just rent a car and pay the insurance. Peace of mind plus whatever you rent will likely be easier to park in NOLA than a F150.
I also forgot to mention that my insurance is on thin ice from multiple accidents involving you know what that happens to be everywhere in Nola.

They are the type to get drunk and puke in Ubers and cause up charges. One time one puked in an Uber and the Uber driver kicked us out in the middle of no where next to a cow farm.
Weird, but okay even with this the case, that doesn't change anything about you parking at the AirBnb or not. I assume you don't plan on driving drunk around town all weekend...?
Park your truck somewhere safe like a nice hotel or paid garage, Uber/walk to your AirBnb, get your car when it's time to go home.
Your truck being at the AirBnb doesn't change the walking/Uber situation unless you plan to trying to drive your truck around the city sober for a bunch of drunks. Which is better than driving drunk yourself, but still would be a massive pain in the arse for you (parking, narrow streets, etc).

I love threads like these where details just keep oozing out.

Funny how they all involved a certain driver that falls under 15% of the demographic

Take the Amtrak you schmuck.

Trucks are being targeting for sure. My advice: park it in a garage at a hotel or using Premium Parking app, and Uber/Lyft around.

Restaurants?
Litter?
Mosquitoes?
Do elaborate.

I'd go a little further out. Park it in Ochsner main campus garage, and uber from there.

We parked my gf's car at my buddy's house on Cleveland right off of Carrolton for 4 days two weekends ago and no one bothered our car. My buddy didn't seemed too concerned about their cars. Closer to downtown I would take measures though.

Not necessary, IMO. But I would recommend a parking garage on Poydras rather than anything around Canal.
Several good ones. Hancock Whitney, 930 Poydras, Pan Am Center, etc.

I suggested it because it's roughly 15-20 minutes from where OP is staying, and free.

If you’re really that worried about it, park the truck in valet with a hotel, then just Uber or walk wherever you need to go to New Orleans
Dependent on where the BNB is at on Esplanade, you might not be able to find nearby street parking anyways

Yeah, if your friends are too immature/dumb/can't handle their booze/whatever to take a damn Uber, then you have other things to worry about being with them in NOLA.
Word to the wise for the OP and his friends. Those New Orleans thugs have zero respect for human life and no fear of going to prison, as the majority of gun violence is never solved.

To heck with vehicle crimes, if you can't have total faith in the humans you're with, the target on your back gets larger, the stupider they become.

If you are scared just dont go.

They all sound like screw ups.

My other option is to just rent a car but A and B still apply and the friends I’m with can be unpredictable shvt heads after drinking. Too many horror Uber stories with them and it’s a bachelor party.
