Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Tweed - New Haven Regional Airport (HVN)?
Hertz and Budget are just a short drive from Tweed - New Haven Regional Airport (HVN). After landing, it won't be long before you're cruising down the road.
What happens if I need to cancel my Essex car reservation?
We know that things change at short notice. That's why the majority of bookings allow for a refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before the scheduled collection time.

What types of cars can I rent in Essex?
Inexpensive, a breeze to handle and fuel-efficient, it's not surprising compact vehicles are the most commonly booked rental category in Essex.

But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essex?
Drivers 21 and over can go road-tripping around Essex in a rental car. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and compact, and may also have to take out comprehensive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply to you.
What do you need to rent a car in Essex?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Essex?
Yes. Expedia partners with reputable companies that offer weekly and monthly rentals for a wide range of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Essex — or way beyond!
Where can I find an Essex car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Essex. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
