Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Essex car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has information about cancellations. In the majority of cases, full refunds are available if a booking is cancelled more than six hours ahead of picking up the car. It's a good idea to read your rental agreement to see if there are any exclusions.
What types of cars can I rent in Essex?
Hop into the driver's seat of a compact car in Essex and you'll be in excellent company. The most popular type of rental car, these rides are easy on the hip pocket, good on gas and a snap to park. With a compact vehicle, you'll easily navigate busy city streets. Alternatively, you can think big. Check out our range of larger rental categories including full-size, intermediate and premium.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
You need to be 21 and over to jump behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Essex. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for larger and luxury vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a fee for young renters. Read the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Essex?
While booking conditions may differ between car rental outlets, the two main things you'll need are your driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
Can I drive in Essex with my U.S. Driver's license?
You sure can. The streets of Essex await and your U.S. License is all you need to explore them. Before your trip, consider applying for an International Driving Permit as another valid proof of identity.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Essex?
Expedia makes it a snap to find a reliable long-term rental in Essex. Just click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and compare your choices.
Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Essex rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional costs. It's best to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
