Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Essex often depends on the rental supplier you select.

Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
