  • You'll find The Egg and loads more amazing attractions in Albany. From Essex, it's 193 kilometres away.
  • Your next stop? Schenectady, which is around 177 kilometres away. Rivers Casino & Resort is one local draw card you shouldn't miss.

Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
