This depends on the rental car companies that are in Essex. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages.

Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must 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 many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
