Can I hire a car from Port Elizabeth Airport (PLZ)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Colchester car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the collection time, many reservations qualify for a complete refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to familiarise yourself with your hire policy. Read through your booking for the details or head to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Colchester?
Busy city streets and cramped parking spots are no issue for an economy car — the most commonly booked hire type in Colchester. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and good on fuel, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Colchester can be explored in almost any type of hire you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Colchester?
With your own set of wheels, cruising around the surrounding areas is a breeze. Colchester is a wonderful place to start, but there’s tons more to experience in the region. Grab the keys to a hire car, throw your bags in the trunk and take a peek at these other amazing locations:

  • Roughly 50 miles from Colchester, Makhanda is a must-do for many road-trippers. With top attractions such as Rhodes University, there’s no shortage of things to keep you busy here.
  • Another destination popular with travellers is Graaff-Reinet, around 120 miles away. Valley of Desolation is just one of many reasons why people love this place.
  • Get away from city life at Santos Beach. Approximately 210 miles from Colchester, this is the place to go to reconnect with nature.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Colchester?
Drivers aged 18 and over can road trip around Colchester in a hire vehicle. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll usually have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to take out an all-inclusive insurance rate. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Colchester?
Most hire companies will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car hire in Colchester?
The lowest price for a hired car in Colchester within the past seven days was £23 per day. The second best deal was £24. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Colchester?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a hire car mid-holiday. Click on our long-term car hire deals page, enter your trip details and secure a ride to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Colchester hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Colchester often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not have any extra fees for this age range. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to escape any surprise charges at the hire desk.
