How much is a rental car per day in Essex?

Can I hire a car from Baltimore Washington Intl. Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI)?
There's a good variety of places to pick up a rental car just moments from Baltimore Washington Intl. Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI), but none located directly in the terminal. The closest options are Avis, National, Dollar, Alamo and Enterprise.
What happens if I need to cancel my Essex car reservation?
We've got good news! You should receive a complete refund if you let us know more than six hours prior to the scheduled pick-up time. Your itinerary contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through the car hire policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Essex?
Small in size but big on benefits, economy vehicles are the number one pick in Essex. They're a breeze to handle and park, which is ideal if you'll be doing lots of city driving. And with great mileage, this popular hire type will have you cruising around on the cheap. Want a larger car? Browse our standard, full-size or premium vehicles.
Where can I go on a road trip from Essex?
There's loads to do in Essex, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Pick up a set of wheels and you can cruise around the surrounding region at your own pace. Add these awesome drives to your travel plan:

  • Washington is about 40 miles from Essex. Top-rated tourist spots like White House should be high on your list while you're in town.
  • Why not check out the best of Philadelphia too? Popular sights in this vibrant city include Liberty Bell Centre. Philadelphia is 85 miles from Essex.

How do I find the best car hire deals in Essex with Expedia?
Score an amazing deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your wheels, select your dates and preferred pick-up and drop-off locations, and compare offers from all the leading rental providers. Save even more when you bundle your Essex car hire with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related rules you should keep in mind before locking in your wheels in Essex. If you're a younger motorist, rental providers will likely charge an extra fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you're able to hire. The precise surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between outlets. Be sure to compare the rules.
What do you need to hire a car in Essex?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car hire in Essex?
Essex has no doubt had some happy rental car drivers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were £42 and £43. 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 Essex?
You can hire a vehicle for a month or longer in Essex, so don't hestitate to extend your stay! Just enter your trip details into our long-term car hire deals page and reserve your perfect ride.
Where can I find an Essex hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Essex providers will hire to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the regulations before you book!
