Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Essen?
Find your own path in Essen, with car rental prices as low as £42 a day. That's based on prices found within the past seven days. With rates like this, it'll be a piece of cake to find a ride that works for you.
What happens if I need to cancel my Essen car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to the scheduled collection time, most prepaid reservations offer a total refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to read your hire agreement. Read through your booking for the details or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Essen?
Whatever suits your style! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you're with the family, or scale up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked rental in Essen. Affordable and with great mileage, they're perfect for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a large amount of room. They're particularly suited to city exploring. Slipping into narrow parking spots will be a walk in the park!
How do I find the best car hire deals in Essen with Expedia?
Whatever sort of wheels you want, Expedia will help you pick up the best deal. Simply compare offers from well-known rental providers and select the option that's perfect for you. Want to drive away with even more in your wallet? Combine your Essen car hire with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Essen?
Drivers aged 18 and over can get on the road in Essen in a rental car. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to buy inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to hire a car in Essen?
You'll generally require a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental outlets, so it's always wise to check while booking.
What is the cheapest car rental in Essen?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a cheap car rental in Essen was just £42. The second lowest was £43 per day. 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 Essen?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or even longer in Essen, so go ahead and extend your stay! Simply enter your trip information into our long-term car hire deals page and lock in your perfect ride.
Where can I find an Essen hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Essen hire providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know this ahead of time so you can budget accordingly. Every car hire company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
