Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Essex car reservation?
You should qualify for a full refund on your rental car if it's cancelled a minimum of six hours ahead of the scheduled collection time. Read through your rental policy for the specifics. Our Customer Service Portal may have the answers too.
What types of cars can I rent in Essex?
Affordable, easy to operate and fuel-efficient, it's hardly surprising compact vehicles are the most in-demand rental type in Essex. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Essex with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare fees, offers and rental providers, and to check reviews. Combine your Essex car rental with hotel or flight bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
In Essex, the requirement is usually 21 and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance. Remember to read the fine print carefully before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Essex?
Before you can road trip around Essex, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Essex?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and secure a ride to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Essex providers will rent to drivers under 25  and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
