What types of cars can I rent in Essex?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many visitors to Essex. Featuring terrific gas mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're perfect for exploring the city. A compact car offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a bit more comfort and style. Prefer a bit more legroom? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Essex?
Essex offers adventures galore, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to see what's in the wider region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • You'll find The Egg and loads more amazing attractions in Albany. From Essex, it's 193 kilometres away.
  • Your next stop? Schenectady, which is around 177 kilometres away. Rivers Casino & Resort is one local draw card you shouldn't miss.
  • Plymouth Rock is located 338 kilometres from Essex and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Go for a wander around and enjoy the fresh air here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
You need to be at least 21 to pick up the keys to a rental vehicle in Essex. Bear in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Most companies will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules carefully before clicking book and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Essex?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ from rental company to rental company, so read through your policy.

According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental car in Essex was AU$71. The next best deal was AU$73 per day. 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 rent a car for a month or longer in Essex?
Yes. Expedia partners with trusted providers that offer long-term rentals for all car types. Head to our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Essex — or beyond!
Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Essex often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some places have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but other companies may not have any extra costs for this age bracket. 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!
