Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the home companies that operate in Essex. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
