What do you need to hire a car in Essex?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.

Where can I find an Essex hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car hire 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 the age of 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., 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 that was used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go 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 unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hire car. Please read the details before booking!
