What happens if I need to cancel my Essex car reservation?
We appreciate that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why most hires give a total refund if you cancel at least six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time.

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Essex?
Drivers have to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related requirements you should be aware of before locking in your Essex wheels. If you're a young motorist, most rental suppliers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you're able to hire. This size of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. It's always a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to hire a car in Essex?
Most hire companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.

With rental rates as low as and a day in Essex within the past seven days, you'll be zipping off with your own fantastic deal in no time. 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?
Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we'll list fabulous options from various trusted companies.
Where can I find an Essex hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Essex hire suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each car hire company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car hire. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
