How old do you have to be to rent a car in Basildon?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Basildon. While some companies may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before booking your wheels. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Basildon?
While booking conditions may differ between outlets, the two main things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Basildon?
In Basildon, all vehicles drive on the left-hand side. This is obviously different from driving in the U.S, so be aware and focus while you're behind the wheel.

Where can I find a Basildon car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Basildon supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just be aware that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
