What happens if I need to cancel my Essex car reservation?
Not a problem! If you cancel your prepaid booking more than six hours before the scheduled collection time, you'll most likely receive a total refund. You'll want to read your car's cancellation policy as there are some exemptions. Jump onto our Customer Service Portal for more info.
What types of cars can I rent in Essex?
Premium, full-size, intermediate ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Essex. If you're chasing something economical and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is a great choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are a little roomier than economy models and are well-suited to couples and families on a budget.
Where can I go on a road trip from Essex?
Essex is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to one place. Pick up a set of wheels and head off to explore the wider region. We've pulled together these great options:

  • Milwaukee is about 145 kilometres from Essex. Popular tourist spots like Milwaukee Art Museum deserve a place on your must-see list here.
  • Your next pit stop? It has to be South Bend, which is around 113 kilometres away. University of Notre Dame is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
  • Spend time in the great outdoors and take in the serenity at Gardens of the Fox Cities. It's approximately 290 kilometres from Essex.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
Essex requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Essex?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between home providers, so be sure to check before booking.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Essex?
Expedia makes it easy to book a cheap long-term holiday home in Essex. Simply click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your possibilities.
Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 in Essex often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet other companies may not apply any additional fees for this age range. It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your selected holiday home company to avoid excessive charges when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Essex with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. 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: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
