Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Essex. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the details before you book!
