How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essendon?
Anyone with a valid driver's license aged 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Essendon. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21  you can expect extra fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before booking your wheels. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Essendon?
Before you can road trip around Essendon, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card. If you don't take out the home company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a home company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Essendon?
You'll be driving on the left in Essendon. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. Allow for plenty of time to get the hang of your new car before you hit the road.

Where can I find an Essendon car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found an Essendon outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you're considering should have all the details you need.
