How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Essex. Take note that home outlets will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young motorists are often restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Take note of the terms and conditions before you book so there are no surprises at the home counter.
What do you need to rent a car in Essex?
Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your home provider to avoid any hassles.
What is the cheapest car rental in Essex?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that daily rates were as low as AU$132. The next best price to rent a ride in Essex was AU$135 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Essex?
Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle mid-holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and find a ride to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Essex often depends on the home provider you select. Some places have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It’d be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to escape any surprise charges at the home desk.
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 may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental.
