Follow your own road in Essex, with car rental prices starting at just a day. That's based on prices found within the past seven days. With rates like this, it'll be a piece of cake to find a ride that suits your style.
What happens if I need to cancel my Essex car reservation?
We know that plans change at short notice. That's why many reservations allow for a complete refund if you cancel six hours prior to collecting the car. Your home policy should include all the specifics you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always available.
What types of cars can I rent in Essex?
Crowded city streets and cramped parking spots are no hassle for an economy car --- the most sought-after type of home in Essex. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Essex can be explored in almost any type of home you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Essex?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a car in Essex. Bear in mind that most home companies will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are generally restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Take note of the fine print before you book so there are no hassles when it's time to collect the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Essex?
Any home company you choose will need these two things --- a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Essex?
You can, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your home term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Essex and drive away with a real bargain.
Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find an Essex supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just bear in mind that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you're considering should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. 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 current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car 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 with the company you're renting from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
