Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my East Sussex car reservation?

When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the collection time, the majority of prepaid rentals qualify for a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to understand your rental policy. Check your itinerary for the specifics or go to our Customer Service Portal for more information.

What types of cars can I rent in East Sussex?

Cost-effective, a breeze to handle and great on mileage, it’s no coincidence that compact cars are the most booked rental type in East Sussex. Explore this city in one of these and you’ll be able to park in tight spaces and easily maneuver busy streets. A compact is perfect for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they’re not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in East Sussex?

In most cases, the rules are 21 years and over in East Sussex. You should be aware that most companies will charge a young renter fee. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a luxury vehicle or a larger car like a premium SUV, drivers may need to be older than 21.

What do you need to rent a car in East Sussex?

Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.

Can I drive in East Sussex with my U.S. Driver's license?

Where can I find an East Sussex car rental if I am younger than 25?

You’ll need to look into the age policy of the East Sussex rental suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s handy to know this ahead of time so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
