Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Southend car reservation?
Good news! You should receive all of your money back if you notify us more than six hours ahead of picking up the car. Your itinerary contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to read through the car's rental agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Southend?
Mini cars, mid-size rides, premium SUVs ... Hop behind the wheel of just about any kind of vehicle you like! Economy is the leading rental car category in Southend. Small, with great fuel-efficiency and a cinch to park, these wheels make driving around busy city streets enjoyable. Maybe best of all? Your budget will love them. That means you'll have more money to splash on other things, like seeing as much of this destination as you can.

Where can I find a Southend car rental if I am younger than 25?

Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
