How old do you have to be to rent a car in Essendon?
You'll need to be at least 21 to pick up the keys to a rental vehicle in Essendon. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge a young renter fee. Check the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Essendon?
You'll generally require a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so it's always a good idea to check before you book.

Where can I find an Essendon car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Essendon rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's better to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Essendon?
You should have collision damage protection to safeguard your Essendon car rental against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24/7 emergency help and a zero-dollar deductible should you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a full refund.
Can I drive in Essendon with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Australia, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
