Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Essex car reservation?
We know that things happen and plans change at the last moment. That's why most reservations offer a refund if you cancel six hours in advance of collection. Your cancellation policy should have all the info you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Essex?
Affordability, ease of parking and terrific mileage are among the reasons compact cars are the number once choice in Essex. Their small size makes them perfect for city driving. They're a good fit for solo adventurers, couples or budget-conscious motorists. Of course, how you get around is up to you! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or get more legroom with a full-size or an intermediate. In need of some luxury? You'll like our premium options.
How do I find the best car hire deals in Essex with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a breeze to compare costs, offers and providers, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your Essex car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
Essex requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to hire a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual hire car rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Essex?
Renting a car in Essex is easy as pie. Generally, all that's required is your driver's license and a credit card. After choosing your wheels, read your policy to make sure there are no further requirements prior to pick-up.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Essex?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and reserve a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find an Essex hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between hire suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find an Essex supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That's great! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each hire car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
